The guest post on Cockney Latic is the most reasoned and sensible post I have read on the whole subject, good on that person.

It definatly is, and thats pretty much how I feel about Latics as well. I want them to stay up to be honest. It's good for the town if they do, I definatly don't hate them, they arn't a threat to us, and we arn't to them imo.

Funny thing is though, I'm Wigan RL through and through now, but I used to love Latics, I once went down to Wembley to watch them lose to Gillingham 3-2 in extra time, I was also at the game where they got promoted to the Championship (Huddersfield away, drew 0-0) I wonder how many of the people who go on that site went to games like that, or how many of them used to support Liverpool/United/Everton/City, but now swear that they have been Latics fans all their life...

*Edit*



Just found that... He doesn't even know why he hates us...

The wendyballers are even complaining about Wembley being used for other things than football. I hope they sort the pitch out before we play there in August...

They already have a [url=http://www.itsunique.co.uk/www.itsunique.co.uk/info.php?p=135 quid stadium[/url

Blue half? You mean 1/10 as the other 4/10 used to think Springfield Park was a childrens play area in the Simpsons.

quality

I think its safe to say Rugby being played at wembley is safe.

well..until they have payed off the laughable amount of money they spent on the stadium.

they need the dosh from the games

Like it would concern you, or many of us, in 50 years time. A lot of us will be dead and buried by then.

The RFL is a partner in the stadium anyway.

Yes, but Pemps would still be only 37....

Would that be his body fat percentage?

After reading the comments on there I have to say in every true sense of the word many of the people, not all btw, who post on that board are scum. I wouldn't even bat an eyelid if they all jumped off the talest building in town.

I don't hate Wigan Ath. In don't watch their games and I don't look out for their results either. So why do fans like me who have little interest in them or their results spark such hated comments on that board?

The sooner we get our own ground the better.

The names they have for us are hilarious, but the best for me has to be Wigan W*nkstains. I've heard our team been referred to quite a lot, but that takes the biscuit.





The most amusing thing though is the general conception that we are all 'fat' as supporters and that our players are 'chubby'. Now if only someone could tell us the body fat percentage of some of the players at the club we could put an end to that foolish idea once and for all.

I'll happily be a fatty watching some chubby people.

Its better than being an inbred retard watching a set of talentless imports.

Having read yesterday's Observer, I would love to believe Uncle Dave when he says he would sue the FA if plans came into remove dual use at the stadium.

However this is the same Uncle Dave who said:

"I will NEVER buy a foreign Manager", two months before he bought Martinez.

He said that the stadium would be bequeathed 50% each to the football team & the Rugby Team, he then went back on his word and said it would be given in full to Latics.

Sorry Mr. Whelan but for me if he said it was red hot and sun shining outside I'd go and put my coat on!

I'm hoping not to be dead by then!

Another example that the guy can't lie straight in bed! www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... helan.html Quote Wigan chairman Dave Whelan wants Scot Sir Alex Ferguson to be on England's side. Whelan believes it would be a coup if the Football Association could persuade Manchester United manager Ferguson to become director of football. "I'm not against England having a foreign manager," Whelan told a newspaper. "But I do want somebody with some passion for the English team and for English pride'" www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Wi ... 29719.html Quote Whelan added: "It's just ridiculous that England have a foreign coach. Our results in the World Cup are good - but I don't think they'd be any worse if the FA had appointed an Englishman. "The FA have this obsession with foreign managers and that isn't healthy for our game. '"

I am a third generation Wigan RL fan. My two lads are fourth generation.

We owe it to the kids (and our future grandkids) surely.

Whats that you don't believe what Uncle Daves says

Whelan in the paper, pleading with Blue half to get down and roar their team to victory (Thus survival in the Premiership).
£4 offer on for last three home games of season.


Attendance - 14,323

I heard the booing from the ground, so had to take a look at the result...

Wigan 0 Portsmouth Reserves 0

I think we're the only team who hasn't beat them. We're certainly the only one who hasn't scored against them.

Latics games left are
Arsenal (H)
West ham (A)
Hull (H)
Chelsea (A)

They are 5 points ahead of Hull who have an extra game left. The big game is gonna be when they play Hull, if they lose

they are f*cked because they arent getting sod all out of them other 3 games.

All the fault of the pitch, presumably...
