Does anyone know if Dave Whelan has attending any Rugby games this years

Of course. He's Wigan RL's number one fan.... was it? Or something along those lines.

No, hes a skid mark.

He is not our number one fan though really is he, he claims it sadly though.

he was there on saturday

Of course he has!
As Wigan's number 1 fan he washes the kit every week, carefully ironing and folding it whilst watching Boots'n'All.
He spends his Friday afternoons making half time snacks for the players and always arrives at the ground early to help make sure the pitch is in tip-top condition.
Then he dashes off to the dressing rooms to neatly lay out each player's kit and places their little treat on top with a big smile on his leathery Yorkshire face.
Then it's outside the ground to sell as many Golden Gamble tickets as he can before racing to the turnstiles to welcome the other (less fanatical of course) Wigan fans to the game.
He keeps himself to himself during the game cos he's just so nervous, throwing every pass, kicking every kick, making every tackle!
Half time means getting behind that bar to serve his fellow supporters with top quality and low priced beer.
After the game he stands at the gates shaking hands and thanking each fan for coming to the game and sharing his passion for the world's greatest rugby club.
Then it's off home quick sharp where Maurice has his Wembley '89 pyjamas and a big mug of horlicks ready. Into his bed with the cherry and white covers pulled up to his nose and dreams of that 18th Challenge Cup.

i never thought i'd say this about the evil little gimp but he really must be brave if he still turns up to spend the evening sat in the presence of thousands of people who truly hate him

I prefer to call it hard faced.

People you see when you have not got your gun handy

i concur

Yes he was definately there, he passed me outside and I watched him go in. I shouted something like he has a cheek, tried to ruin us and then still turns up for matches. To the horror of my boyfriend.

Sounds ok to me, your boyfriend should have been happy with you

His stadium, he can turn up if he likes.

Exactly

I think it was more of the point that it was littered with expletives, in the earshot of stewards that did it. The steward at least had the decency to laugh.

I was more curious as to who his companion was! Did anyone else see him?

I'd have barred you for life if I was DW

Yeh, but your not

Whelan has a gay lover? Well I never.

But I bet you've thought about it.

worth its own thread imo....lol

seriously....i didnt go cos i was ill, but did anyone spot him during the game, because i reckon a few anti whelan chants are in order, and he can do nowt about it unless it gets obscene or racist........or has everyones memorys gone into meltdown?

How about casting your memory back the the mid 90's when he saved us from extinction after Robinson had run us into the ground. I don't like Whelan or his business practices, but at the end of the day, he has put more money into the club than he has taken out of it, and without him we could be playing at the Reebok.

Instead of playing in a shared stadium, where we're second class citizens?

Just like we would be at the Reebok, only you would have to travel to Bolton for home games.

Meh, i don't like the Yorkshire .

im not getting back into the pro/anti whelan bebate, its been done to death.

i admire your loyalty (misguided imo ) but anything whelans ever done was for the benefit of whelan and NOT wigan rugby fans. he saw a business opportunity and grabbed it.
