Absolutely hilarious reading!






Clear proof that the knuckle-draggers are utterly and completely obsessed with all things WRLFC.


Can you imagine any other supposedly Premier League standard team's supporters being so wrapped-up in bitterness towards a club not even playing the same sport?
Its a bit sad and pathetic really [size=75(still funny though!).[/size

I dont think thats even relevant to be honest.
Personally, i just dont like football, and wouldnt go to watch the Statics if you paid me in, bought drinks all day, and presented me with a signed shirt at the end of it!


I dont dislike the towns football team - I just have no interest at all in what happens to them.
Its really only the ridiculous attitude towards WRLFC, by some of the football fans that brings WAFC into my thoughts in any way, shape, or form.

Talk about spitting the dummy out. Some highlights for those who cba reading the thread:

1. Having 40% of our fans from outside the town is a bad thing apparantly.
2. If CP was redeveloped for both teams no 'tics fans would go.
3. To them, having a stand named after Billy B is the same as calling a stand at Anfield the Dixie Dean Stand.
4. One of them is pleased as a kid in sweet shop to be sat in the West Stand on a blue seat

FFS

Christ on a bike, they're thick

What does make me laugh is the thought of some Latics fan sitting in a seat that was occupied by Fat Harry the night before.

I love how they refer to Jason Roberts as a Latics "LEGEND" ha ha ha ha

just shows how small time they are

Yes, but if only 60% of our fanbase is from Wigan and 80% of Latics' is from Wigan then is Wigan a rugby or football town?

Both sides get around the same amount of HOME fans every week. Wigan is a SPORTING town. Simple as that.

Well what defines a legend? Scoring the goals to take you to the PL? Scoring the goals to keep you there? Scoring the goals to take you to your first major cup final (including a last minute winner in the semi)?

JR ticks all them boxes. Like most players though he moved to a 'bigger' club who then finished below us in the league.

A legend is someone who consistently serves a club for the majority of their career who bleeds the colour of the club, not someone who wins you a few matches over 2 years, would you consider Barrett a Wigan 'Legend' Lyon a Saints 'Legend' legends are players like Kris Radlinski, Shaun Edwards and Billy Boston. Wigan Athletic have no players past or present of this type. Hence the 'Springfield Park Stand'

We do. Just not modern day.

This is the online definition of a legend:

a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical.
2. the body of stories of this kind, esp. as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan: the winning of the West in American legend.
3. an inscription, esp. on a coat of arms, on a monument, under a picture, or the like.
4. a table on a map, chart, or the like, listing and explaining the symbols used. Compare key 1 (def.

.
5. Numismatics. inscription (def.

.
[i6. a collection of stories about an admirable person.
7. a person who is the of such stories: She became a legend in her own lifetime.[/i
8. Archaic. a story of the life of a saint, esp. one stressing the miraculous or unrecorded deeds of the saint.
9. Obsolete. a collection of such stories or stories like them.

Due to the points I made I would say JR could be classed as a Latics legend.

Just ignore them. In a few years when they drop back down through the divisions, Cockney Lactic will become a thing of the past, much like Pooles pie shops and Safeway supermarket.

Cockney Latic has been going online for 10 years.

Yeah, but they have been on the rise for ten years, supporters will drop off as they drop. Regardless, you understood the point I was making.

Oh yeah defo.

What happened to number 1?

Two out of eight isn't too impressive

Wigan will always truly be a Rugby League town, for the person who just questioned that.

As for the topic, well I personally don't think we'll move for a long, long time. Not unless Whelan does something insanely stupid and we HAVE to. I wouldn't want to, either; cracking walking distance for me every home game!

Haha.

I like the place, even if there is next to no atmosphere.
Couple in Jawbone beforehand before wandering down. Same again after game.

Dont think the Latics home crowd is near the Rugby. Average attendance maybe but we know how that is bumped up.

Even some of the l@t1cs more level headed fans are getting sick of the patheticness of half of their fans www.cockneylatic.co.uk/forum/vie ... ?f=5&t=435

It doesn't matter. If Latics fan's decided the rugby wasn't an evil in the town and came to embrace the club and the sport there will be rugby fans complaining the stadium is overrun on match days with football fans.

Both sets of supporters are now as bad as one another, trying to score points over the internet over attendances and results. Even the level headed fans of both teams still have to put in sly digs or imply negative connotations with each club.

To truly distance ourselves from the rivalry the sacrifice's that need to be made are to swallow a bit of pride and ignore the Latics/Rugby if your not a fan and forget about passing down this childish 'Never Forget' or 'This town is a Rugby League town ONLY' verbatim to our children and their children and let them decide what they want to watch and treat both sides with equal respect.

Only when that happens will there be an end to the feud.

Well said that man!
Although as previously stated the focus of negativity that is Whelan/Linday will have to depart the stage before that process can even begin

Maybe Stains will let you ground share with them.

pls change that pic dear lord...

Naaah, it's always good to put a face to a post. Especially when both face and post display equal levels of sublime idiocy.
