I made the mistake of driving through king street last night to pick the Mrs up from work in Springfield and they were all out side singing 'we are staying up' they wouldnt let any cars past for about 10 minutes and kept banging them all. No joke I saw about 3 lads with Man United tattoos on their arms singing as if they were die hard latics fans

I rest my case

they bang on about their average attendance, how its better than ours! cause half the fans just go for something to do! your not honestly telling me a team in the bottom 3 has more fans than a team in the the top 3 of superleague!

bottom 3? or top 3? hmmmm.

Southampton get bigger crowds than us and they're in the 3rd division. Football's a bigger game. Latics get bigger crowds. So what?

One of the reporters put a sly dig in yesterday.He said something along the lines of -"there are about 1,000 Latics fans here today ,which is about the total number of people in Wigan who are interested in football".

what i mean is! if you would use your eyes! the only thing they can put us down on is our crowd! not the players, not our performance, the crowd! cause it really matters!

I'm shocked. Thread about Latics brings out the Wigan RL, insecure, chip on shoulder brigade complaining about the Latics, insecure chip on shoulder brigade.

Made up myself. Mr William Hill presented me with £112.50 yesterday tea-time. I said all season they'd stop up.

Do I??

Hand on heart the only REAL Latics fans I know have supported them through thick and thin and from Springfield Park.

Text me I'm intrigued





edit: NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THEY EXIST HOWEVER!! HA HA

insecure about what?

Reet lock it Leeds Andys got involved...he's spoiling for a fight, must be on't rags again!

It was obvious you'd be the one of the first.

You tell me, anyone who claims that half a football crowd they know nothing about are only there because they need "something to do" is obviously worried about something.

Im willing to bet anybody any amount of money that in October, you could walk into any pub in Wigan town centre and it would contain a large amount of Latics fans all shouting for Saints, iv seen it myself and I personally know loads of Latics fans that absoulutely cannot stand the rugby, it stems from a deep hatred and jealousy built up over years of rugby dominance in the town and now they are Charlie big times in the premiership they think they are top dogs and we are "beneath them" thats just how it is. Iv got no time for them at all, I understand that they have a minority that HAVE supported them through thick and thin but the majority of there following is made up of people that cant get tickets for Liverpool/United/Everton so choose to go and watch them, as iv said before, a pathetic little club with an idiotic attitude towards the rugby. Iv actually stood in the North stand watching Liverpool at the DW and heard them singing "if you hate Wigan rugby clap your hands"

Congratulate them......................no thanks, I cant wait to see them rot in the lower divisions and slowly get plunged into administration.

And prey tell oh great one, what have I posted thats insecure?

I think Mr Rowlings (with his post of 1) has managed to do well today.

There's no insecurity about it, I just hate there whole attitude since they got promoted towards us. Wigan is, and always will be a rugby league town.

I'd say anyone who's majority of their posts on a rugby forum was about a team in a completely different sport obviously is thinking about them too much.

Just had a quick check there Andy and out of the last 24 threads ive posted on only 7 of them relate to Latics. When I went to school that little sum would have come to a minority.....Im guessing youve still not read through my postings re.the tics debates as you would clearly see my dislike is directed to a certain profile of tic 'fan'.
Fact is Andy youre not privy to the atmosphere created in the pubs/workplaces by some of these morons, so I fail to see how you can comment on the subject....

Exactly, same with a lot who post on here, in my workplace I deal with loads of them on a daily basis and have seen how they behave in pubs when the rugby is on in the past, if people could hear what they say about the rugby and what they call rugby fans im sure this thread would look a lot different.

If I looked at your last 6 posts I could prove they were all about Latics, which when I went to school is all of them, so being selective isn't a great tactic to use. I know exactly what your main beef is, it's the fact you post about it so much on here.

I know all about the morons on both sides, they're just as bad as each other.

This is a thread to congratulate Latics stopping in English soccer's top division. If you don't like them or don't care about them then why on Earth bother posting?

Indeed.

Considering the resources they have compared to others, 7 seasons in the Premiership is an excellent achievement.

This is also a thread mischeviously created by someone just to congratulate the Latics on a Rugby forum, despite never having posted any Wigan RL related subject before. If this poster racks up numerous posts relating to Wigan RL over the coming weeks then I will admit on here I was wrong......

...but I doubt it.

This will be my 1726 post, so youve just looked from 1720-1725, what about the other 1719? Now whos being selective?

Would you agree with my 'main beef'? Or would it not bother you that the bloke sat at the side of you cheering the next Sam Tomkins try was just 6 years ago parading around in a McKwans replica with Long emblazened on the back?
