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.

I'd tell him I'm not going to be bothered by someone who changes his team as often as he changes his underwear. I'd certainly not go on about it on another sport's forum.

know a few 'dual-code' supporters who are decent fella's so happy for them, but for the rest of the foozeball following hooligans, heres to next years relegation battle!

Reet, now I agree that this should be locked. Way off topic and as soon as the mods wake up it should be padlocked.

Agreed

Woooooosssshhhhhh

If anyone has registered for Cockney Latics, why dont we post a congrats to Wigan Warriors thread for winning the grand final?

I wonder what the response will be?

By the way, as an Everton fan, congratulations to Latics on staying up!

Well done Latics for securing mediocrity for another season. The way soccer works now is every season they will be in a relegation dog fight until either, they go down, or a multi billionaire comes in and buys them. Not a dig at Latics, just soccer in general. And I hope, as much as I want RL to grow, hope it never grows as big as football because the size of our sport is another reason why I like it so much.

The season we nearly went down is a season we'd like to forget.

All I can say, is all these people congratulating them, visit cockneylatic.co.uk and please read some of the rugby threads and what they say about us. Then come back on here and congratulate them.

Who gives a flying toss what they say about us? Some people on here are acting as if they're back in school. "Sir, Sir, cockneylatic are being mean, and pulling my hair!" How about we all grow the feck up and revel in the fact that we've got two teams operating in the top flight of professional sport?

That's how I feel.

Well done Latics. It's a shame that the best we can expect is for them to narrowly avoid relegation rather than challenge for honours (and laud it as an achievement), but there you go.

I sent my mate a congratulations text; he replied by saying that we should get out of his stadium and that we can keep the "M62 cup". I asked him what trophy his side had just won, and he replied with a load more abuse.

THAT is why I'm not overly bothered whether Wigan Athletic stay up or go down. The team doesn't offend me as I don't really care for Association Football. I don't hate it, it just bores me silly. But is has to be said, the attitudes of some of WAFC's supporters aren't exactly welcoming.

Perhaps that's what you should tell the people who are easily winding you up by supporting a team in a sport you seem to have no interest in.

Anyway back on topic - as Lenegan has already stated, it is in our commercial interests to see the Latics in the Premiership. Given this it's a no brainer why it's good to see them stay up, even for those who dislike them/have no interest in football.

I think that just about sums this thread up.

Knock a whole club due to the rantings of a few keyboard warrior bell-ends?
Mods!

All the Latics fans i know think that the people who post on cockney latic are dribbling divs. It's a bit unfair to generalise all Latics fans based on the crap they come out with, just like it would be unfair if Latics fans generalised about us based on the posts of our most bitter fans. All very childish. If people could grow up and stop hating for the sake of hating we would probably have a few more cross over fans and both teams might be a bit better off.

Congratulations to the Latics. I'm not a Latics fan or a football fan, but I can see that them staying up is good for us and good for the town, and I wish them all the best for next season, even if some of their fans hate us
