South Stand support

Post by LKC29 »

I was appalled on saturday that the south stand was emptting out with about 15 mins to go. Considering that, bar the huddersfield hammering we administered this was our best performance all season against the top of the league, I was gutted that the so called loyal south stand supporters were fleeing the game and not staying back to applaud the players for thier effort.

In all fairness we all pay for our own ticket and are fit to do with it as we please. if somebody wants to buy a big mac and throw half of it away thats their choice.


no matter who you are or what you do.... we will always be better than you.....

most south standers aint loyal, they go because its the cheapest seat in the house. I have only sat there once, ever. that was because i had pennies left so I had no other reasonable choice.

Especially an entertaining match, 15 or so minutes to go... wigan were still in the game! it only takes a second to score a try.

Saints fans were fantastic, nice to see the north stand full (ish).

Maybe they were having more trouble than usual undoing the bolts?

Most South Standers are loyal. Most of the Bramy Army are at all away games. They may sit there because its cheaper, but most of them are only teenagers who can't afford to go in an expensive stand. Me and my mates were there until the end, as many others in our stand were.
........and on the 8th day, God made Wigan Warriors!

Wire. They don't open the North Stand for Cats or Quins games.

P'n'B...I suggest you get along to a car boot sale somewhere just North of you to buy them back... :wink: Good selection of hubcaps, too, I hear...

How can you say who is loyal and who isnt by where they choose to sit? The daftest comment yet!
I used to have a season ticket in the west stand until my little girl reached five and the price difference was a huge amount. I have never sat in the east stand but believe its very good.I wouldnt come on here and question your loyalty if you swapped seats! I have not missed a game home or away for years and yes for once i came out of the stand when the final whistle went and didnt hang around to see the players, i have my reasons, a disabled nan that has been a lifetime loyal fan that cannot fight her way through crowds.
Your comment was unfair!
