    Fookin Wigan! Hate em! Took about 200 fans to reading, sums them up really. Lots of part time Manu/ city fans follow Wigan at home, hardly any real fans support them, wigwams a rugby town, always will be,. I really hope they come down. At least reading have a loyal support! Rant over...

    They don't deserve to be the the premier league because they don't have many fans? You sound like a Wednesday fan.

    probably the worst thread this year. They play football on the pitch, not in the stands.

    We only took 500 fans to Bristol today, do we not deserve to be in this league?!

    Indeed who does 'deserve' to be in the prem then? Just big clubs like Wednesday and Notts Forest? Maybe we should go down voluntarily this year since there are teams with more fans currently in league 1; Coventry? Sheff U?

    I'm pretty sure those 200 fans would argue their loyalty...

    Did I say big clubs? No, don't twist my words here, Im talking about a rich multi-millionaires project club here. 10 years ago folk in Wigan didn't give a fook about footy, as I said, it's a rugby league town, supported by part time mancs like it or not. Reading are twice the club Wigan are and I hope they stop up at their expense, that's it! Don't agree with me, well that's fine, football is all about opinions....

    Reading fans loyal; is this a wind up? I'd say well over half of them are premier league glory fans. I remember them in the lower leagues averaging significantly less than they are now.

    But that's my point exactly, 200 away fans, in the prem ffs? Barnsley would've took 2000 at least! Footy eh, all about opinions....

    200 fans and they still won. Good thing attendances don't win matches.

    You could make that argument for almost any club

    I was just making a point about their 'loyalty' and them being compared to Wigan. Agree about most prem clubs having a lot of glory fans.
