Why have a section of your fans chosen to name themselves Brigantes? Seems a very strange choice of name to me. Please enlighten.

Sorry, thought you meant what was the group about.
This is taken from Wikipedia:
"Historically a part of Lancashire, Wigan during classical antiquity was in the territory of the Brigantes, an ancient Celtic tribe that ruled much of northern England". |

| Quote: Dave26 "settle'"
In those days settle didn’t mean find a nice house, go for a second viewing, put in an offer, have it accepted, put your kids in school and live out your days.
The Brigantes were a ruthless tribe from Yorkshire, who conquered /integrated all the other Celtic tribes in the North of England. They didn’t ‘settle’ in the modern sense of the word. They murdered all who stood in their way, occupying settlements like Wigan, and decimating any local population.
There lies my confusion. Why would a group of your fans name themselves after a tribe from Yorkshire, that killed all the most of local population, and ruled over those remaining with an iron fist? They weren’t from Wigan, they were based in Yorkshire, they just kicked your ars3.
Again, why are you named after a tribe from Yorkshire? |
