I can laugh at most of the crap posted on Cockney Latic, but this one has gone over the mark in my opinion. I have suggested quite a few times that their moderators remove it, but all they've managed to do is change the first post (but not the ones where he has been quoted). www.cockneylatic.co.uk/forum/vie ... ?f=5&t=332 Anyone on here a lawyer that could scare the out of the neanderthals?

Some Latics fans are an embarrassment to their club and themselves.

A big problem they have is their rootless nature.

When you've no past to look back on, and probably no future (if you're honest with yourselves), it's difficult to develop an understanding of who you are and what your place is in the world.

I don't think it helps them that they are also hugely disrespected by the football establishment. Many rival fans regard their club as a jumped-up dwarf owing everything it's got to a widely disliked business tycoon, hence the endless baiting and name-calling they get - that smug article the other week about Wiganers going into hibernation when the rugby season is over being a prime example. I've also seen a few of them go onto other RL boards to offer Wigan's rivals their best wishes before key matches, only to get the schiezer ripped out of them there as well. Bascially, they've got no friends anywhere.

Such isolation is bound to create a culture of shallowness and paranoia. But that in itself becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Constantly taking out their frustrations on Wigan RL will only marginalise them more, because Wigan RL are seen as part of the furniture in this town and a great asset to it - even by people who don't attend regularly. No-one I know expects Latics to last half as long or burn half as brightly.

Who cares?

There all just a bunch of noobs

Latics are just an embarrasment FULL STOP.


Sadly we will be stuck with it untill the day they get relegated.
Thats life.
They are propped up by the masses of money being in the premiership brings. A sad little club. Watched by loads of sad people with big chips on their shoulders and very small brains.

That said, the few proper latics fans I know hate their "premier league bandwagon fans" as well. To the point where they wish it was like it was sometimes.

Why the need for all the nasty hostilty is beyond me.
Especially from the ones who sit and watch the games from a pub minutes up the road from their ground. For god sakes the season tickets are practically free!

The genuine Latics fans are fine, the ones that had season tickets at Springfield Park etc. My mate is one and he's not a problem with the Rugby and I have no problem with the Latics, in that regard - A bit of banter here and there, but that's all fun and games.

It's the new breed of ex United/Everton/Liverpool/City/Bolton fans that are an absolute pain in the ars[ie[/i. Jumped up Chavs most of the time and true Keyboard warriors.

My experience is that the older fans, especially the 'never forget' brigade are the most one eyed and bitterest of the lot, a real hatred for everything Wigan RL. Most of the newer ones I've met are just clueless.

The fact the poster didn't even get banned for that comment says an awful lot - even if it wasn't towards a rugby related person. Embarrassing.

To be honest, my mate is only 20, but he's been a Latics fan since very young - the same with me and Wigan.

I've hardly seen any old timer Latics fans, but I have heard of a few who hate the Premiership malarkey.

It doesn't help their cause when Whelan in his new book states that Rugby League will always be number 1 in Wigan.

And I use to think Wire fans were bad.

The mods should be getting rid of the rugby bashing threads simply because it detracts from their club. If they are proud and loyal Lactics that are 'on the up', they shouldn't give one about us. But instead they are trying to find anything to whinge about and also making disgusting claims about an innocent man no matter who he happens to be.

They are an utter disgrace.

I think that's a very accurate and intelligent post.

had to laugh at the post by progresswith unity.... fat chubby lodgers LIVING OFF OUR SUCCESS!


if thats what they generally believe then there really is no hope for them!!
i wouldnt call wigan latics a succesful premier league club.

as another poster said i dont have a problem with the genuine latics fans who went springfield park, its the new toss pots who've only watched them since they got in premier league that i cant stand. its funny because some of these clowns used watch us at central park but now for some reason seem to hate everything about wiganrl.
