The fans are what make an atmosphere, not whether they have a seat behind them.

So why then is the DW stadium a nice place for opposition teams to visit?



Are Wigan fans just too polite or quiet? Is it because some of our supporters clap?

I'd say definitely too polite. It's like the majority are desperate to try to get the opposition to like us.

What's wrong with being polite and respectful? it's only a game, after all. If Wigan fans can show they're a class above most other clubs, with our polite, respectful atmosphere, this is something i'd be quite proud of.

Quite.

I didn't realise the DW had become a nice place, if I remember correctly we went one season, since moving in, not losing a home game. Can't have been that nice then.



I bet some people clapped the opposition on the pitch that season too.

I don’t think giving the opposition a welcome onto the field would give them any advantage, why wouldn’t it work the other way and make them feel less aggression to the home fans. It’s a moot point, but I would never consider it as an excuse for us not performing at home.

Envy

I don't know why you're envious, you'd never fill a bigger stadium.

It's so widespread at Wigan because our fanbase has an average age of 75 and like nothing more than having a blanket and a flask of tea at the rugby.

aaaah, I see.

so respect is something that only old people do.

explains a lot that

Some people really do have too much time on their hands, and too little to complain about in their lives..

Purpose built rugby league grounds have a playing area based upon the dimensions of a rugby league pitch eg 100m + in-goals, with suitable run-off areas.



They also don't have the pitch re-laid mid-season.

Can you confirm in what capacity you are able to make such a statement.
