Quote: martinbuckley "Wrong. A few posters on a messageboard does not constitute a majority. There was one "one team in Wigan" flag at Wembley (and at Arsenal). I think the majority enjoy the town's success in whatever sporting event is taking place.

I don't think the crowds will suffer that much next season, as there are a lot of well-supported and/or local clubs in the CCC that will fill the North Stand (Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Leeds, Sheff Wed for starters). My guess is an average crowd somewhere between 13-15K, depending on how well they do.

I also think the clowns on Cockney Latic who take every opportunity to mock us may be somewhat quieter too - particularly as their messageboard crashed over the last few days!'"


It's time people took responsibility for what they posted, it appears some believe they can say pretty much anything, and excuse it by stating it's a response to some troll. There are literally a couple of Latics fans who troll different sites, they aren't taken seriously, but in response there has been some vile posts, containing everything from racism to outright threats. This is far beyond the level of banter, two wrongs do not make a right, rise above it like the vast majority of Latics and Warriors fans.

Didn't know he'd broken his leg. Why has nobody said????

Its giving people the opportunity to discuss Latics, Whelan, their relegation, cup win, future relationship with Wigan Warriors, without over-zealous mods moving it to the "Other Sports" section.

I say let it run - lots of people have lots to say and the thread is actually rather interesting!

Never understood the hatred in the town. I'm glad Wigan Athletic won the FA Cup & I'm gutted they've been relegated. I take on board people's experiences with fans may not have been nice from either sets. I myself have taken abuse from Latics fans for my rugby affiliation. WAFC however, are not a person or a political party espousing their views on the public. Wigan Athletic are a football club representing the town on the pitch just like Wigan rugby and in the same way that drug addicts, violent offenders, thieves and rapists (of which there is,have been and will be in the future) don't represent the Wigan people as a whole neither do supporters. Wigan is my town, I'm proud of that.

There was some interesting stuff at the start but as is usually some people can't help themselves the longer it has gone on with the usual bile. I think a lot of it is jealousy at the profile the Latics have had the past week or so. More people probably watched Saturday's game around the world than have done in our entire history.

I give it a few pages before some over-zealous mod puts it out of its misery.

Well said.

I also have a lot of respect for anyone who has supported Wigan Athletic and/or Wigan Warriors through good times and bad.

They are the real winners and the ones that will get most enjoyment out of sporting success in the town.
