As has been said, when we were threatened with relegation; our attendances went up!
From the way they're going at the moment - they have a real chance of slipping out of the premiership this year. If they do survive (which is pretty much the best they can hope for) then next season should see them relegated.
Cue more sign changes and blue spray paint!

I couldn't give a shiny $hite what the blue men do, whether they go down this season or next, they are on borrowed time it seems with their points tally and performances each season.
Wigan RLFC have been in existence 139 years, of which they have been in the JJB/DW stadium twelve years. The Blue men have been have been in the Premier League only six years.......I'm sure we'll be reet..!!
One thing's for sure, I won't be praying on my WAFC mat on the last day of the season should they need a win to stay up. Will leave that to you and Conroy. |

Funny you mention the JJB thing because we are only here because of the Latics and Whelan's master plan, given how close we were to going out of business. In the same way that the Latics are only in the Premiership because of Wigan RL, as they needed us to get the ground to build up a Premiership operation. Of course, neither set of chip on shoulder, narrow minded fans from both clubs have the mental capacity to appreciate this - or maybe some do and that's the reason they act like they do? |

That might be how many seats there are, but it isn't necessarily how many are in use for a football (and indeed rugby) fixture for all manner of reasons.
Quote: wiganrlforever "The limited capacity is a standard rule at premier league grounds due to the segregation laws'"
No it isn't. Completely varies from club to club - there aren't any North Stand seats that are lost to segregation because of it being a completely separate stand from the home ones. The only seats 'lost' to segregation are in block ES1, but that's more to do with the numpties that used to inhabit it. |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

How the Premier League table would look if teams were awarded points for famous fans...
20th: Wigan
The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_29281.jpg |

Apart from a bit of mickey taking and bragging rites, I'm not really sure it is.'"
At a guess I'd say it would be better for WRLFC and the town if Tics did stay in the greed league, and theres even a part of me that wants them to stay there. But then I have to weigh that against the thought of seeing the thousands of ex Utd, scouse fans claiming to have never really supported Latics and being able to dust down their respective Sharp and Crown Paints emblazened replicas. At least they be able to wear short sleeve t-shirts around town again thus proudly protraying their red devils and liver bird tats!!
Nah rollocks to 'em  greed league! |

Of course the pitch looks good at the moment.
Since we ended our season it's had a pile of manure on it every other week...
