You are.

Very wrong....Andy Gregory was born in Wigan and had played junior rugby league in the town before signing for Widnes. He had a successful time at Naughton Park before making the short trip to Warrington in the mid eighties. Wigan finally signed Andy from Warrington in 1986 for a reported £130,000 fee

thankyou i stand corrected

we're certainly not the old wigan.

....Oh dear......

I think some opposing fans just don't like the fact that SOME Wire fans like to glory in the idea that we are 'hated'...It just comes across as tedious self-importance..

It is this small section of Wire fans that people don't particularly like (including myself) rather than the Wire club itself....In reality I actually think that most RL fans have an admiration/envy for our (or more accurately, Simon Moran's) ambition.

Too much paranoia here. There are always fans of some clubs who will hate other clubs, it doesn't matter how successful or otherwise they are. When we were garbage in 2002 all the Salford and Widnes fans were saying how much they wanted us to go down and the Saints and Wigan fans were laughing at our plight and saying how it would be hilarious if w**ky warrington finally got relegated.

Hull FC have always been hated by a lot of other clubs fans, Wakefield and Cas hate each other etc.

One factor which probably irritates other clubs fans about Warrington however is that we are talked about in the media a lot, whether we are doing well or badly. For some reason Warringtons fortunes have always taken up a lot of talk time on the radio and in newspapers, out of proportion to our success, Newcastle United has the same thing in football which is why probably a lot of people revelled in them getting relegated.

Yes, it is correct. They took gregory from us, lydon from widnes, hanley from bradford and platt and connolly from saints. But if you believe some of their fans then the entire side of that era came through the wigan ranks.

Yes, and at various other stages they took Skerrett from Bradford, Offiah from Widnes, McGinty from us, Goodway from Oldham, Cowie from Rochdale, O'Connor from Salford, signed Bell, Shelford, Miles, etc from down under, and spent huge amounts on All Blacks Rugby Union players like Botica & Tuigamala.

As Moe points out, the idea they were a homegrown side full of talented Wiganers is a myth....

so if you begin to dominate super league you will be something like the old Wigan

A bit off a silly question,we are Warrington Wolves all ways have been all ways will be.Who cares if no one likes us.

its not dislike its just that not many take much notice of you ,,yet, but keep trying and who knows?

So why are you here?

well i actually agree with the last poster why go on about wigan ?.
you are warrington .
arent you?

yes we are,and thats the way it should be.I would start to worry, if people label us as the next Wigan.
