the £13m bank debt that lead to the sale of your home is irrelevant then?

Where did you get that figure from?

Huh?

First you said "Who cares about which team went pro first?" You make it sound as if every non-Wigan fan was just chuffed to be on the end of a pummelling.

Then you glide over to ascribing your personal - biased - viewpoint almost magical significance. As if ANYONE could argue with the virtues of getting THE BANK to stump up for a host of fully pro contracts - thus giving you a massive advantage over the competition - and then NOT paying them back, losing your stadium and damn near the club itself.

THAT is progress.

If only they'd had a bit more - perhaps then you would've been able to buy the titles without having to sell your ground and rent from the Latics.

Reading all this about our beloved central park and now having to share with the latics is quite painful.I'm off to read through our roll of honours that always cheers me up

Whilst we're on the subject of Vermin. For 10 points who said, [i"There are dark forces at work behind the scenes at Wigan"?[/i

None of it matters. You wouldn't be so bitter if Leeds we pummelling everyone in that period.

Too many to remember in those days.

I predict the closest derby for years and maybe a bit of biff early doors!

Yeah but this never happened....do you not realise RL only started in 1996 when Saints started to win everything

or we were driving around in horse and trap, the last time wigan won anything.

Really?! I know times are hard in Sintellens but I thought even you men had cars in 2002!!!

Err ... everybody hates Leeds.

Ho ho! This is going to be good.

That's true.

The old green eyed monster ey!

I'm predicting a wigan walk

aye, but when? 60 mins or 80?

Maybe.

Yes a St. Helens born player who Wigan rejected is going to slag Wigan off.
Please explain why didn't he sign for Saints and eventually finished up at Swinton. I'm sure he will explain without sounding bitter.

45 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No bitterness whatsoever. He signed for Wigan because they offered the most money. After a very promising start he broke his back and needed major reconstructive surgery that left him with restricted flexibility and mobility. It severely affected his abilities and form and Wigan let him go.

The level of jealousy, bitterness and selective memories on here is amusing.

Still, they have the Communist Cap now.

Those nasty people from Wigan won't buy up all the best players, and there is no need for them to blubber is there?

Back on topic. I don't think it will be Wigan by plenty.


Wigan by a few maybe.

As a complete neutral I think saints by 2 or 3 scores from what I've seen in the last few weeks, but if Wigan win it won't be a shock. I just fancy saints for this one.
