Its only happened in the last 5 years or so, before then i knew of no animosity at all - and i'm born and bred in the middle of Wigan. I think its basically they get poor crowds for team team playing the biggest sport in the biggest league in the world with the cheapest tickets and all the media keep saying they get low crowds 'because its a rugby town'

18,000 on against the biggest football club in the world in pretty poor, considering it was a Saturday 3 o clock, non televised kick off with 5,500 official away fans and God knows how many more in the home ends.

The add is brilliant and I love the comments from the latics fans



I have no idea why it is not all over youtube and Facebook and twitter with loads of advertisements. Lots of interaction on those 3 websites could target more specific audiences.

Because when we play at the DW between september and february we ruin their pitch by wearing the grass at the goal mouth away

After seeing the ad, myself, 21-12 and Jukesays will be signing autographs in the South Stand bar prior to the next home game.




p.s. All 3 are available for personal appearances, opening supermarkets, unvailing plaques etc........reasonable rates, (any nude work will be extra + V.A.T.).

tell the club you want an appearance fee for turning up at the ss bar n all

I'm guessing it's you fellas carrying the seats? Ugly buggers

Best reason I've ever seen NOT to get High Definition t.v.

No, we only appear in about the last 5 seconds walking away from the camera

Your best side?

In that case, can you do my Grandmas dogs sisters owners best friends uncles brass bands social a week next thursday?

If it's got the latics fans talking about it (complimentary or otherwise) then it's working - people have to know about it to whine about it!

Clothed or naked ?

Mankinified please but be prepared to strip down if my uncle should wish.

I'll contact my tailor.

It really is laughable i agree, Wigan even though they are 'the enemy' are head and shoulders the best club at all things off the field and how anyone can critise this or see it in a bad light is completely beyond me ? Wigan board keep it up for you are single handedly helping to promote our game better than RFL have ever done.

Rugby league could have been massive with this kind of marketing since super league began. Now it will always be a small sport.

I cant get the video to work for the tv ad help please

Flash

It's microsoft silverlight isn't it?

That's the spirit

Dont know - I just guessed, didnt have to download anything myself it just worked

Is it not on a video sharing website yet

You mean Youtube? No sign of it on there yet.

Got my tickets today and i don't even know if im off work yet, arh well potentially 3 up for grabs if i don't.

Phone in sick as there are only 2 chances to watch wigan v wire a year and there are another 363 days a year to ern a living.
