at the next home game we encurage fans to not go into the stadium. we stand at the front of the stadium and our protest will be observed by all. the next question is what do we think this protest will acheive? will the players suddenly start playing better? will ian millward resign? i dont think it will get the club anywhere. i understand it will highlight the fans frustration and maybe it would make us feel better but in terms of moving the club forwards im not sure this is the way. is it better than doing nothing? maybe.

Since we'll all be outside, in front of the stadium, we'll have no idea if the players start playing better or not as we won't be able to see the pitch...

I wish I had it in me to go through with a protest. But the fact is, I still want to see them play, even when it's painful, the desire for me to see the game is still there. I love my rugby. :(

The poster formerly knows as Wizard_Millward.

I wasn't as fit or strong as before but my two biggest muscles still worked - my heart and my head - Kris Radlinski.

if nobody does anything then millward is totaly correct in his after match press statements. wigan being bottom of the league for the first time in a hundred years isnt an issue! well to me it is an issue and somehow the club and players and the manager must understand the shame they are bringing on the fans.

I'll not be doing any boycotting. It won't make a difference, protests never really do they just allow you to vent a bit of anger or show your opinion but do you really think higher up anyone really gives a stuff?

The team tried hard against Bradford and there isn't going to be a quick turn around it's easy to lose and match but it is very difficult to win one especially when the players are so low on confidence.

People seem to forget that we could have beaten Les Catalan, Leeds Rhinos, Warrington and Salford but we had poor second half performances. All Wigan need to do is compete for 80 minutes once we do that we will start to win more games.

The match at Castleford was a poor performance and there is not excuses for that but did anyone really expect that Wigan could go from that to beating the world club champions.

The best thing that Wigan fans can do is go and support the team, they are trying to improve and trying to win games but there is a lack of confidence which is hard to get unless you have the support of the fans.

When you support a club you support then through good times and bad, you don't just support them when they get to Wembley and then turn your back when things get tough. If we protest now what will we be protesting about, being bottom of the league? how will a protest solve that the player will just see fans not supporting the club and then confidence will drop even more.

Lets not be know as the fans who turned our backs on our own club, lets be known as the Wigan fans who supported our club when they needed us most. The players need the support of the fans now more then they ever did in a Challenge Cup final.
