| Quote Smooth Stu="Smooth Stu""We're the Wigan, we're the Wigan, we are the Warriors"
"Bring out the Warriors"
"Wigan Road........."
There's no law says we have to have it. Saints and Hull, and even London now, don't have Americanised nicknames.
But they do differentiate RL teams from any other. If you hear a snippet of news or radio report about the Harlequins, or Bradford, or Huddersfield, you can't be certain which sport they are talking about, and 'Warriors' is certainly a tag which separates us from the wendyballers.'"
Actually Stenhousemuir FC have been known as the warriors for over 100years! |

In a way it is - the younger generation. The whole Warriors tag attracts youngsters, it differentiates us from the puffball team.
IMHO I couldn't care if it was Warriors or RLFC - We are Wigan and we are the champions and long may it continue. |

So your saying the youngsters who didn't know the WIgan RL era don't call the team 'Warriors'? That all the advertisements/posters etc don't attract the youngsters? Of course it does. Fact is, people who didn't know the Wigan RL era will only know us as Wigan Warriors. The name won't change and me and you could sit here til the bleeding cows came home debating whether it does or does not attract youngsters.
Pathetic thread, and probably the most pointless thread of the year. |

They could know the team as the "martians" but they didn't start watching them because they're called the "martians," they started watching them because they're their local RL team. |

Could have been worse could have been Wigan White Sox or Wigan Wizards.
Halifax (Blue Sox), and Hull (Sharks) soon realised that it was a gimmick too far and quickly reverted back to their original names.
I never refer to my club as Warrors and I never have.
In conversation it's either Wigan Rugby, Wigan RL or just Wigan. In fact I have cringed in the past when being asked if Im going to watch the 'Warriors'.

Well the rioters would be idiots then. IIRC this was (and still may be) the former official name of Wigan RL. |

How about the FA change Liverpool FC to something like Liverpool Lions and come back in ten years and ask their fans what they think about it!
