Must have miss this, its from 2 weeks ago ![urlhttp://www.wigantoday.net/sport/wigan-warriors/hoffman_lands_in_england_1_2039862[/url

Apparently touring Europe with his girlfriend prior to heading up to Wigan.

awwww
visiting the arc de triomphe, then the Montjuic mountian, visiting the monastery of ST Jerome, off to the natural history museum and finally Wigan pier.

Hmmm not too romantic.

Could be worse he could be calling in at Warrington.

i'm sure this was on here weeks ago?

if it was you must've just missed it.
i did read it and i dont use the WiganToday website at all so i must've picked it up here

Ha

Warrington is nicer than Wigan by a long stretch. And Warrington is a bit of a poo hole.

but the point being that he is taking his gf round Europe and then finishing in Wigan.

You wanna say Wigan is better than Paris and Barcelona and Lisbon and London?

No? Well then, he isn't finishing on a high.

Is there even anywhere notable in warrington?

Warrington being the pinnacle of culture and history in all of Europe

He arrives in Wigan tomorrow, not sure about the other two.

The exit?

PMSL

Say what you want it is still nicer.



Nooooo, It is close though.



But the point is, and try and grasp this, Wigan isn't.

The point was that Hoffman and his lady-friend are going round Europe (where it is very cultured and exotic) and finishing in Wigan (where it...isn't). It isn't the best way to finish a holiday. That is all.

Your hatred for Warrington town is unusual. Don't be so defensive. People might think I struck a nerve.

Didnt warrington win 'the worst place to live' or something similar not so long ago, either that or it was in the top 10

Bloody hell.

You are carrying on with the Warrington Bashing.

We'll change tact. Do you think Wigan is a nicer place than ... I don't know ... erm... Paris or Monte Carlo or Barcelona or Milan or Munich?

I couldn't find this Warrington top 10 worst place to live.

But by most people's accounts where i live is pretty horrible.
It is just behind Middlesbrough.

Edit: found it

you can leave now.

I said I found it

and to be fair it is a flawed report.

Glad you missed the important bit of that. The bit where you seem to think Wigan is better than Paris or why else would you ignore that part?

The point was that Hoffman would be finishing his holiday on a low visiting Wigan's many many many tourist spots. Especially when compared with the places i mentioned. Would you go on your holiday in Wigan (if you didn't live there)?

The point is that the best place to visit in Warrington is Ikea, at least Wigan has a pier. And less smackheads.

yeah i don't like Ikea

I'm screwed eh?

Have you been Warrington Recently.
It is really qaite nice

Paris is indeed a wonderful city. The city is full of world famous attractions compared to Wigan. Trying to compare if Paris is better than Wigan is not a great example. It all depends where you are in those locations. Try asking a resident of Paris in one of the gutter estates if they enjoy living there. The traffic in Paris is just chaotic and dangerous. I'm not saying Wigan is better, but Paris, once you've left the attractions is as big a poop hole as any other large city.

I visited Wigan for a short break, and must admit that certain parts were awful. King Street still bore the aftermath of people drinking and eating kebabs to excess with vomit drying on the pavement.(again probably no different to any other town at a weekend).
There are some lovely places in Wigan - The canals, Haigh Hall, the DW stadium !!

Plus Wigan does better pies than Paris

And you started the Wigan Bashing!

Point is, he's not finishing his Holiday with a trip to Wigan, He's going Home as that is what Wigan is now for him for the Next year maybe More.

I'm sure Matt King thought exactly the same when he toured Europe prior to coming to Warrington.
But sometimes you have to go where the work is and put up with the god damn awful place where work is, I should Know, I'm sat in Warrington now!

Another thread that's turned into Wigan v Warrington.



Stop it now.

It is lovely isn't it. I wish I was in Warrington

I wasn't really bashing Wigan.
It was more like saying that James Graham is handsome compared to George Clooney and Brad Pitt. I'm sure he has some attractive qualities just not as many as the other two.

Same with Wigan and the rest of continental Europe.

So basically you came in to be a troll? Glad you've cleared that up.

On a different note, who we rather have Sam or Brett Hodgson? viewtopic.php?f=21&t=475467&p=15650912#p15650912
