I didn't go in the SS bar last week either before or after the game.

They don't have to come into the supporters bar & face the fans win or lose!

Can you see any football players or coaches doing it mixing with the fans like our lads do???

It was one game for God's sake albeit the first.

The players & coaching staff all agree they were caught with their pants round their ankles, lets give them the benefit of the doubt & get behind them.

Ancient & Loyal!!!
Has there been an official statement yet?

No, I don't know the reason why, as I had been told that an official announcement would be made :conf:

Last Sunday in the early hours I did receive a detailed email with a statement & was asked to put it on here.
I then received another email, later in the morning, asking me not to publish it, as an official announcement would be made on Monday.

Luckily, I saw the second email first!

I have been led to believe that the players will be back in the South Stand after the next home game & an explanation will be given then :)

Its all wrong. SSB frequentees should not be allowed to feel any more special than the other 15,000 supporters.

What's the big deal about what does or doesn't happen in Whelan's extortionately priced crap beer selling bar?

I don't see it as SSB being special, just the way the issue (if there was one in the first place) was handled.

Didn't see or hear anything controversial on the night

a percentage of Storm players come into the social club after every home game to see the fans win or lose.they spend time signing autographs and talking to fans.

£2.85 for a pint of lemonade!!! Thieving barstewards :angry:

They had the cheek to ask if I wanted ice as well!!! That would have took at least a gill of the lemonade up :sly:

As a none season ticket holder, I feel that the policy encourages supporters to leave the ground earlier to get a drink or a table in SSB. This contributes to the "Wigan walk" nonsense we have to put up with.

Don't think the bar makes any difference to "the walk" to be honest.
Think most early leavers do it to miss the traffic. Whereas we use the SS bar to wait for the traffic to die down

I do the same Guy.
At the Giants game I missed the bar before & after the game & was stuck in traffic for well over a half hour exiting!!

Firstly I don't see the problem of going into the bar after a game as a fan - you either do or you don't... a mingle-fest.

Secondly I don't see the problem with not having players/coaches in after the match either is it an official thing anyway?

Thirdly those who heckle or are abusive are idiots, there's no need for it really is there?

Fourthly my stomach hurts can anyone diagnose?
