I wonder how many where still there at the final whistle?

Maybe they're talking about Man City.

Or the heating's been cut off.

Only time Wigan would turn blue would be if Chubby Brown went on Wish FM.

Or if the tories get in power

Theres a chance of that in Wigan, if as rumoured Labour put clown Mandelson up as candidate.

I posted similar on an old WRLFC and WAFC forum website back in 1999 yet nobody took any notice and the hatred got deeper and deeper. My orginal idea was to get the 2 supporters clubs together. Yes it maybe too late as the new breed of tics fan are far far more abusive than the old types but it may calm down the level of vitrol. If it saves WRLFC supporters getting spat at whilst in ASDA it'll have done a job. www.mudhutsmedia.co.uk/e107_plug ... .php?19419 And to all those mudhutters that visit this site

Perhaps the next time our illustrious benefactor "Mr. Wigan" shows his face at one of OUR games a few choruses of the Hawaii Five o theme tune would be in order?

They showed a few fans leaving on 65 minutes.

Just enough time to drive home, find reciept, jet back to Robin Park run into the JJB store and exchange the Tesco bag for a shiny new Red Devil, or maybe Liverbird one?

Having just watched their highlights on MOTD, I'm pretty shocked. Firstly, at how crap they were. Secondly, at how poor their support was.

Man Utd are near enough the biggest team on Earth, and Latics get less for that fixture than we got for Leeds!!!!

And we won't even mention that most of those in the stadium appeared to be ManU fans.

Just what kind of crap is Whelan shovelling in this town?

Theres a brill running argument on facebook between both set of fans..have a look if you have facebook

As I said yesterday " the bubble will burst ", looks like one paddle lost already,
Look at all those empty seats in the South Stand !

Wigan warriors got a mention in the commentary too, bet there weren't many tics fans tuning in to hear it mind

How were we mentioned? With positivity I hope.

It would seem that the novelty of top flight football has well and truly worn off. You could always expect the Man U game to sell out, so the 18K attendance is shocking (esp with 6K from United).

Whelan must be doing his nut!

Theres never a time when there on tv we dont get a mention.

18k for the visit of man u! Looks like wigan is solidly cherry

Paul Scholes was in possession and was shielding the ball from a defender, he ended up by pushing the player in the face.

The referee didn't see it, in football it's a foul, in rugby it's just a hand off. The Aussies would call it a don't argue.

The commentator suggested that it wouldn't have been out of place in a Wigan Warriors fixture

His tone of voice did not sound negative. I'd take it as a complement from a sport were you usually see players rolling around on the floor clutching their faces just because someone breathes on them

It has only actually sold out once since they came into the Premership. Twas in 2008 when Utd won the league in the last game of the season. So that'll be once in five attempts.

This is a sample of some of the drivel spoken on that Latics forum:

"I'm not sure where you are from but the schools couldn't have been very good judging by your punctuation and sentence structure

80% of Wigan Athletic fans are from Wigan
61% of Wigan Warriors fans are from Wigan

so if anyone has got fans from Skem it is more likely to be Wigan Warriors

On a Wigan Athletic matchday the bridge over the canal is clogged up. On a Wigan Rugby matchday, the roads are clogged up, the reason being that your fans drive to the games, ours walk it because they live in the area. Wigan Athletic do not bus in hundreds of Amateur League clubs in on matchdays from out of town to try and keep up with their neighbours, nor do they give a whole stand away to sponsors to avoid getting a sub 10k crowd

Now get back to the third world board with all the other fat dinosaurs telling LIES about our football club because you can't accept the truth, you've already been run off here twice with facts and reasoned argument, in fact you came out with a load of racist drivel last time if I recall

Climb back under your rock, no doubt we'll see you again in a month when the thread has disappeared "

I dont know the last time "ScholesControl" went to a Warriors match but the canal bridge is always full after the game with large queues.

so like their owns fans say their marketing is ....I also remember heinz "buying" the stand not being given to them.

And there was thousands of Man Utd fans scattered around in the East and West stands. I was there too, it was shocking. I wasn't even in colours, and nobody around me was either, but Latics fans though we were United fans and kept turning round spitting at us and hurling abuse. Anybody that they guessed to be united fans ended up getting jumped on. I've never seen so many fights in my life!

There Pathetic

I have nothing at all against wigan athletic the club.they have done this town proud. its just a real shame there supported by a bunch of jokes and embarressments. Not all i should say but many

I suggest the town was never turning blue, the championship beckons for the tics
