Could I have back the time I just spent reading that article please? Or at least charge you an extortionately high rate as a back payment?

"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |
|
|
You're right Damo, Wigans support is well overated. Couldn't fill a 13,000 stadium down the road for a challenge cup semi, couldn't fill a 25,000 capacity home stadium for the World club challenge (leeds highest 38,000, Leeds lowest 27,000, for the same game) and can't even fill the piedome for "the biggest derby in rugby league" versus saints. There was more at the wigan athletic v Q.P.R game on wembley saturday than at most wigan RL games. It's a football town.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

The empty seats at the semi were in the saints ends.
The world club challenge tickets left over were being sold by the RFL, not wigan. The prices were also stupid.
We DID sell-out the piedome for our derby game. Did Leeds sell-out for theirs?
7,000 free tickets were given away for that QPR game.
In other words. Pipe down. |

Wrong on all counts.
The empty seats at the semi were amongst both sets of fans,
I bought my tickets from the RFL when we had 38,000 for our first world club challenge game, your fans could also buy them and didn't, therefore you didn't fill the piedome,
Your ground was a thousand below capacity for the St Helens game, therefore it's not a sellout,
Wigan is a football town, compare the football and rugby average attendances.
Are you a junior politician by any chance, you seem to manipulate the figures and make excuses very well.

well calling Wigan a football town on the basis of attendances alone, then we also cant deny that Leeds is a football city and has been since the mid 60s ..It doesnt mean because we have lower attendances than the local soccer clubs that Wigan and Leeds are not rugby towns.We are on the fact that we both have more history and tradition.I was once at Headingley in 1961 1st round of the cc versus Wigan score 5-5 attendance 38000 ,Leeds utd were at home same day attendance 8000.Wigan athletic werent even a league club ,and I am a Leds utd fan ,but I think you could find better ways of critising Wigan than by saying its a soccer town,by doing that you are not doing our game any good |

Wigan is, was and hopefully always will be a rugby league town irrespective of the efforts of sundry football teams - Wigan County, Wigan United, Wigan Town, Wigan Borough and now Wigan Athletic.

Dang ... we'll always be a small club compared to Leeds.
