Quote: doc999 "Wigan are not the hated club they used to be in my eyes , they have a good side , likeable coach and the players that I’ve seen and spoke to when out and about have always been polite and had the crack , pretty much the opposite of what it was like in the late 90s. There are far more dislikable teams than Wigan .
Leigh could be back in the championship in a year or two and just happy to have some success while it lasts .'"
You're probably right. I had a look on the Wire board this morning and there was a thread about who they want to win the GF and most wanted a Wigan win! WTF is going on
In fairness I think the reasons behind it were 50/50 between dislike for Micky Lewis and them wanting to be the first side to win it from outside of Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Bradford.
