Oh dear indeed. The Brigantes were a pre-Roman tribal grouping that actually spanned virtually the whole of northern England, with most of their substantial settlements (and capital) in Yorkshire, so there is no particular reason to connect Wigan to them over any other northern place. In fact, the north-west was pretty much a write off as far as the Romans were concerned - York was the highest ranking settlement. Hell, even Castleford was more important than Wigan.
There's some irony that this little cheer squad of theirs effectively celebrates Yorkshire dominance. I've tried to point this out on their board but they don't seem to have the wit to comprehend

Beat me to it.
Whilst Wigan is in an area that was part of Brigantium, there is scant evidence of any settlement before the Romans, so any idea of Wiganer Brigantes is, shall we say, wishful thinking.
I guess there might have been the occasional hut and hole in the ground fo't get t'coal though. |

I find it a bit poor taste that they have adopted an 'Ultra' model for a RL supporters club. They seem heavily influenced by the Italian Ultra scene (masses of flags, face covering, taking over a section of the ground and even taking the 'Ultra' name on).
What will be next? Political agendas? Flares in the stand? Demanding tickets in exchange for protection?

And what about all the money they have donated to local charities over the past year or so?
McMillan cancer and Wigan and Leigh hospice have been very grateful for their contributions.
Or does than not fit your agenda? |

The BNP makes charitable donations.
Not comparing Wigan's Brigantes/Ultras to them (I do s when I type that) but it's hardly an answer to concerns people may have (many of your own fans it may seem) to say "Shut up, they give money to charity.
I give money to charity and sometimes I can be a right c**t. |

I'm guessing you're already banned from the pie board but if not what a great way to go
