Quote ="WireWonder"What about the 2,000 crowds they were getting after they were relegated in the early 80s? That's not 'loyalty'.
If you want real loyalty then look no further than Wire fans.'"
You should really check your facts before making statements like this. When Wigan got relegated, the attendances for 1st division rugby league fell by a huge percentage, whilst the second division attendances increased dramatically. Can't ever remember Wigan getting only 2,000 fans for any game. You should also take note of the fact that a good proportion of any crowd in those days were deliberatly lost, alledgedly something to do with directors beer money.
