I do. Wigan fans expect their team to win and have seen it often enough. Lifting the big trophy is not a big deal for them as it would have been for our fans, had we won.

Rubbish. I'd never get bored of my team winning trophies no matter how many times they'd have won them previously. Winning titles and trophies is the pinnacle.

yup, i normally stay and clap them off regardless of the result and location. it stung a lot when manfredi went over for his second 3 minutes from time so i left at that point, and walked back to media city tram stop to beat the crush.

Its' about a 15 minute walk, and there were already wigan fans stood waiting when we got there.

I left on the hooter after clapping the players off and made it out as Tomkins got on the mic (before the trophy was lifted) and by the time i got to the Met stop i saw absolutely loads of Wigan "fans" well ahead of me in the queue for the Met and saw them at the eateries half way through a burger or chips as i walked down Warwick Road before that too.

They must have left at 8-4 never mind after the Manfredi try, or the hooter, and certainly never mind to see their team lift the trophy in their most successful coach (for a quarter of a century)'s final game.

Very bizarre behaviour. There weren't just the odd one or two, it was bloody LOADS!

Ettinghausen's gone ice skatin'

I left on the Manfredi try and when coming down the stairs was next to LOTS of Wigan fans. I asked them why they were leaving and told them to get back into the stadium as they'd just won the title - was just met with shrugs, I found it offensive to be honest. Now obviously Wigan have won LOADS and maybe it does get a bit repetitive but I'm glad I'm a Wire and not one of that lot as despite the constant heartache IF we finally get over the line it'll mean much, much more than any of them can clearly comprehend. Strange bunch.

I have heard of Wigan fans leaving before the end of games but just dismissed it as sour grapes from fans of other clubs.
However, I went to see HullFC play in Australia this year. I watched the game at the ANZ stadium and then watched the Wigan game until half time, at which point we left, my wife and I are not exactly in the first flush of youth ( in our seventies) and it was getting rather late. On the train going back to Sydney Central were a few Wigan fans? I can understand Hull fans leaving early, but why travel 12500 miles to see your team and leave at half time?

Or we have a winger called Tommy Makinson who can’t do no wrong in saints fans eyes yet cost us that semi final with 3 absolute brain farts. If we had Francis Melo playing instead of him we would have been in that final where we would have lost easily to rugby leagues most successful team ever

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
