Quote: 21-12 "Your SERIOUSLY saying that in the town of Wigan there are more Wigan RLFC fans than Wigan athletic, Manchester United, man city, Bolton, everton and liverpool supporters?
Are you having a laugh?'"
big difference is, most rugby fans ALSO like soccer, so they are just as likely to be seen round town in a soccer shirt. most soccer fans won't give rugby the time of day. (boring, big thugs sport etc.)
the more important statistic is how many people consider Wigan rugby to be their NUMBER 1 team as opposed to a soccer team. living in Billinge it's about an equal mix of rugby and football from what i've seen. not a clue about Wigan to be honest, but whenever i've been , i have seen far more Wigan rugby tops than anything else!
