With a comment like that I think you're the one with the childish excess, have a think about it.
I'm well aware that you trawl every single thread on this board so that you can immediately respond to even the slightest hint of disrespect towards your club, but with this one you're on a loser. In respect of crowd attitude, Wire have brought this level of mistrust on themselves. I've attended far too many matches over too many years, going back into the early 1970s and beyond, when the atmosphere generated by a certain section of your crowd far outweighed anything I've experienced anywhere else in RL in terms of aggression and hostility.
Things are not quite as bad these days, possibly because your team is finally getting regular success, but Wilderspool is the only RL ground I've ever known where a friend of mine was stabbed and another was bottled. Those kinds of memories don't go away quickly.
But just because you are easily bruised please don't ignore the main point of this thead - and that is the bad behaviour of certain WIGAN fans. I'm not just having a pop at your lot (though I'm sure it would help relations between Wire and everybody if you could get rid of that fat, drunken fool who always hangs around the HJ main doors after matches, looking to cause bother with the visiting team and staff when they're leaving).
