Top notch from Brian Carney on Sky Sports, although I would've liked it more if he also addressed players from all clubs as well.

There's so much competition, which unrelated thread that turns into a bitchfest, is just as bad? |

Think it’d be better if he also asked questions of Lenegan and Radlinski instead of just saying they’re good men. They may well be but they are in charge there and as such set the tone for the culture of the club and it’s players, but he didn’t because as he said right at the start Radlinski is a good friend of his. |

| Quote: vastman "I'm sure they would but 1.5 million versus 30-40 million is a bit of a stretch even for a troll like you. As for begging, WMDC and Yorkcourt owe the people of Wakefield a hell of a lot more than a re-vamped BV but you'd know that if you weren't so totally ignorant. The people of Wakefield are owed a brand new 15,000 seater stadium by law and that matey is where the development of BV is coming from and WMDC and Yorkcourt will have got off lightly and with a handsome profit but again if you weren't a troll you'd know that.'"
Really? When was the trigger point reached? And if they are owed a brand new stadium 'by law' why aren't they seeing the developer in court as they kept promising to do? |

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality......
Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

In 10 years time when Wakefield are in league 2 they will still keep harking on about the stadium they are owed.... by “law” |

......You've fell into that trap again Vasty - you know the one where you get it into your ginger head that it's a stadium for Wakefield Trinity and the people of Wakefield.
It never was. It was planned as a "community" stadium for the people of the Wakefield district including Fev, Cas, Knottingley, Normanton and Hemsworth. |

Wigan are responsible for the salary cap breach and the way it was handled.
They aren’t responsible for the actions of individual players, though it could be argued that you know what you’re getting signing the likes of Hardaker.

They have gates now? Have they upgraded?
(p.s. before anyone gets upset, it's a joke...) |

As others have said. Wigan aren’t responsible for anything other than the salary cap breach and amateurishly announcing Edwards as coach before getting a contract signed.
They aren’t responsible for fully grown adults being morons. That lays fully at the door of those individuals.

As far as opposition fans are concerned Wigan bring the game into disrepute simply if they win a game especially with those lot over the lump or them in la la land aka Warrington
When anything negative happens that bring adversity to Wigan it seems that the entire sport and it’s followers can’t wait to jump on the “let’s all kick Wigan while it’s down” bandwagon
If this had occurred at say Salford or even Leeds no one would have really bothered about it, but because it’s wigan, it’s major news
As the saying goes “Hated, adored but never ignored “ is obviously 100% correct
What I found amusing is the thread started as a debate about Wigan then sank into insults between our West Yorkshire neighbours about wakeys stadium
Thanks for the entertainment guys I quite enjoyed it

I get the point that it’s all down to the individuals but at the same time they’ve had 4 ‘incidents’ now in the last 9 months or so dating back to the Tomkins incident so I think some questioning of the club as a whole is fair - not the OTT they should be charged that the OP suggested, but certainly questions asked that goes beyond it’s just the individuals. |

| The VT is absolutely brilliant.
Tiptoed on here as a Wigan fan and saw this thread.
Read the opening gambit and to be honest think there is some truth (only some) in the OP
However the best bit is that even when there is an opportunity for the collective masses to unite and claim the high moral ground against the dastardly wwrlfc...
You instead turn on each other and engage a full out human vs troll debate against Wakeys stadium 
Jesus.
It’s more dysfunctional on here than it is at my club currently.
You lot are bringing fans of the game into disrepute.
Chill fellas |

It’s a good point with one ever so slight flaw - it was a Wigan fan/troll who brought Wakefield yet again into the debate - tut tut
