Robinson, Lindsay, Rathbone and Hilton weren't rich. Everyone knew this barring the banks that agreed to stump up for Wigan's players.

BOY didn't they get a shock!

Obviously it's a reason but it makes you look like a bitter person when you whine about it like you are now.

If I were in your position(A Saints fan),(Thank God I'm not) I'd be bitter and jealous too

the £13m bank debt that lead to the sale of your home is irrelevant then?

Where did you get that figure from?

Huh?

First you said "Who cares about which team went pro first?" You make it sound as if every non-Wigan fan was just chuffed to be on the end of a pummelling.

Then you glide over to ascribing your personal - biased - viewpoint almost magical significance. As if ANYONE could argue with the virtues of getting THE BANK to stump up for a host of fully pro contracts - thus giving you a massive advantage over the competition - and then NOT paying them back, losing your stadium and damn near the club itself.

THAT is progress.

If only they'd had a bit more - perhaps then you would've been able to buy the titles without having to sell your ground and rent from the Latics.

Reading all this about our beloved central park and now having to share with the latics is quite painful.I'm off to read through our roll of honours that always cheers me up

Whilst we're on the subject of Vermin. For 10 points who said, [i"There are dark forces at work behind the scenes at Wigan"?[/i

None of it matters. You wouldn't be so bitter if Leeds we pummelling everyone in that period.

Too many to remember in those days.

I predict the closest derby for years and maybe a bit of biff early doors!
