Reet lock it Leeds Andys got involved...he's spoiling for a fight, must be on't rags again!

It was obvious you'd be the one of the first.

You tell me, anyone who claims that half a football crowd they know nothing about are only there because they need "something to do" is obviously worried about something.

Im willing to bet anybody any amount of money that in October, you could walk into any pub in Wigan town centre and it would contain a large amount of Latics fans all shouting for Saints, iv seen it myself and I personally know loads of Latics fans that absoulutely cannot stand the rugby, it stems from a deep hatred and jealousy built up over years of rugby dominance in the town and now they are Charlie big times in the premiership they think they are top dogs and we are "beneath them" thats just how it is. Iv got no time for them at all, I understand that they have a minority that HAVE supported them through thick and thin but the majority of there following is made up of people that cant get tickets for Liverpool/United/Everton so choose to go and watch them, as iv said before, a pathetic little club with an idiotic attitude towards the rugby. Iv actually stood in the North stand watching Liverpool at the DW and heard them singing "if you hate Wigan rugby clap your hands"

Congratulate them......................no thanks, I cant wait to see them rot in the lower divisions and slowly get plunged into administration.

And prey tell oh great one, what have I posted thats insecure?

I think Mr Rowlings (with his post of 1) has managed to do well today.

There's no insecurity about it, I just hate there whole attitude since they got promoted towards us. Wigan is, and always will be a rugby league town.

I'd say anyone who's majority of their posts on a rugby forum was about a team in a completely different sport obviously is thinking about them too much.

Just had a quick check there Andy and out of the last 24 threads ive posted on only 7 of them relate to Latics. When I went to school that little sum would have come to a minority.....Im guessing youve still not read through my postings re.the tics debates as you would clearly see my dislike is directed to a certain profile of tic 'fan'.
Fact is Andy youre not privy to the atmosphere created in the pubs/workplaces by some of these morons, so I fail to see how you can comment on the subject....

Exactly, same with a lot who post on here, in my workplace I deal with loads of them on a daily basis and have seen how they behave in pubs when the rugby is on in the past, if people could hear what they say about the rugby and what they call rugby fans im sure this thread would look a lot different.

If I looked at your last 6 posts I could prove they were all about Latics, which when I went to school is all of them, so being selective isn't a great tactic to use. I know exactly what your main beef is, it's the fact you post about it so much on here.

I know all about the morons on both sides, they're just as bad as each other.

This is a thread to congratulate Latics stopping in English soccer's top division. If you don't like them or don't care about them then why on Earth bother posting?

Indeed.

Considering the resources they have compared to others, 7 seasons in the Premiership is an excellent achievement.

This is also a thread mischeviously created by someone just to congratulate the Latics on a Rugby forum, despite never having posted any Wigan RL related subject before. If this poster racks up numerous posts relating to Wigan RL over the coming weeks then I will admit on here I was wrong......

...but I doubt it.

This will be my 1726 post, so youve just looked from 1720-1725, what about the other 1719? Now whos being selective?

Would you agree with my 'main beef'? Or would it not bother you that the bloke sat at the side of you cheering the next Sam Tomkins try was just 6 years ago parading around in a McKwans replica with Long emblazened on the back?

I agree. There wasn't a need for a new thread, we could just have unlocked this one - [urlhttp://viewtopic.php?f=30&t=494454[/url

I thought this was bound to be obviously the case before IL ever mentioned it. The thing is though while they have survived this time will they continue to do so? I think it's inevitable they will get relegated sooner or later so Wigan RL and IL will have to deal with the consequences at some point.

At least we don't have a dedicated page of threads, as they have on Cockney Liar. i.e. The Non-Football related page (in other words all Wigan RLFC hating stuff here).

people didn't want to go watch latics when they were playing the likes of mansfield town. now they are in the top flight, playing some of the greatest teams in the world, and people attend matches? shocking! that is a completely reasonable attitude to have and i have no idea why anyone would care.



pretty hilarious stuff given the 'f the latics' line which gets sang week in week out.

Of course it is. Look when he/she joined and it was their first post. It's quite obviously a Latics fan but does it really matter?

ps What is cockney liar?

That was kind of my point, hence why I said being selective wasn't a great tactic.



It wouldn't bother me at all. I'm not going to get upset because someone I have no control over decides to change which team they "support". If they're like that they'll probably be "supporting" someone else next season.

So they're there to watch United, Liverpool, Everton etc. rather than support Latics? Are you sure?

that is obviously not what i said. people want to watch sport of a high standard.

Reet were getting somewhere here, now next year we are absolute pants, bottom of the table, the very same bloke YOU KNOW has now changed back to a Stains mon and is giving you pelters every time he see's you...what would you think of such a cretin? X that by a few thousand and you have the makeup/profile of the majority of tics fan base.
