I have often disagreed with Alex BP on here but in this case he is spot on. Wigan is a Rugby League town, always has been, always will be. Just because you have a few bandwagoners desperate to see a bit of Premiership football doesn't make the club more popular than Wigan RL, firmly established in the local community.'"
that would depend on your sense of history... and your access to objective info - to say Wigan is an RL town is odd when 20% more people show up to watch the soccer in an area completely mobbed out with premiership soccer. No one is denying that RL is significant but not all Warriors 'home' fans are from the town, and they include their own posse of bandwagoners...
Does any one has the right to be holier than thou about attendances? - the arguments are now very over rehed
