Quote: Conroy "Latics have the Division 2 and 3 titles, the Auto Windscreens replica, the Championship promotion shield they were presented with and numerous other things that highlight their success and achievements such as things they've been presented with by the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and the FA. Isn't that what a trophy cabinet is for??
There are GB caps in there as well which were presumably presented to Wigan by players or their families. Should they be taken out as well?'"
I have to agree with some of the Wigan posters in this thread....although I'm a Wire fan, IMO it's embarrassing to have those Latics trophies in a Wigan rugby league cabinet. Is it asking too much to let Wigan RL have their own cabinet and be able to display some illustrious rugby league history without some crappy pennants from a vastly less successful football club. It's not just the issue of sharing, its that there's a huge difference in history between the respective clubs. If it was Man United sharing with Wigan RL it would be different.
If I was Dave Whelan I'd have had Wigans RL history as the main part of the DW stadium, make it like the Nou Camp or Old Trafford where all those chinese tourists come round to have a tour and look at all the history like a museum, let Latics have a small corner of their own but market it primarily as rugby league.
