What about the 2,000 crowds they were getting after they were relegated in the early 80s? That's not 'loyalty'.

If you want real loyalty then look no further than Wire fans.

What about the fact that the number of fans increased during their worst season for over 20 years?

Nice try but you completly ignore the fact that ALL clubs were getting dire attendances back then. The sport was in a proper slump everywhere really except on Humberside.

And 2,000? Miles away from the truth! Facts: Wigan's home average in Division 2 (1980-81) was actually 4,693. Warrington's that same year in Division 1 was 4,917 & St Helens 4,934. Bare in mind that the local derbies we faced in Division 2 were just Swinton (home average 1,953), Rochdale (home average 1,149), Blackpool (home average 684) and Huyton (home average 270), where as in Division 1 your local ish derbies included St Helens, Widnes, Leigh, Salford and Oldham - I don't think we did too bad attendance wise, did we?

And any Warrington fan who suggests that facing you is bigger than facing St Helens for us really is talking garbage. You must be on a different planet!

ill remember that one and bring it up again come october.

Some of ypou should know better than to carry on responding to this idiot who is not a Wire fan. He/she simply trolls the Boards of Wigan, Saints and Leeds and makes stupid and ridiculous comments.

Exactly. He's blatantly a troll and not even a Wire fan.

Why he gets to post on here in the first place is beyond me ....

you're right....i go on holiday to syria to get away from RLfans

You should really check your facts before making statements like this. When Wigan got relegated, the attendances for 1st division rugby league fell by a huge percentage, whilst the second division attendances increased dramatically. Can't ever remember Wigan getting only 2,000 fans for any game. You should also take note of the fact that a good proportion of any crowd in those days were deliberatly lost, alledgedly something to do with directors beer money.

Sigh.
