I agree with getting rid of the Warriors tag as well, add on the bonus of getting rid of the dreadful Max and it all sounds good to me.

I remember that questionaire too.

But although 'Warriors' is on our badge, apart from Max we have no association, history, merchendise, relation, identity, links, website, programme, books etc etc, to do with a WARRIOR. We simply do not relate to WARRIORS at all. People generally don't say to their mates they're ''going watching the Warriors'', they say ''I'm going watching the Rugby''.

It's about time it went. In fact, I'm going to take this further! Who'll join me?

Alex I 100% concur.

However, IL has gone on record as stating that he likes the "Warriors" tag.

Not going to happen sadly.

get rid i say lets be called "the riversiders" as we used to be.

I'm all for dropping the name, but the above is not quite true. The Old English for 'warriors' was 'wigan'.

Copy and paste from [url=http://www.english.ox.ac.uk/oecoursepack/maldon/text/maldon202-325.htmThe Battle of Maldon[/url lines 235 to 237:
wigan to wige, þa hwile þe he wæpen mæge
habban and healdan, heardne mece,
gar and god swurd.

warriors to battle, while with weapons we are able
to have and grasp, the hard blade,
the spear and the good sword.

I wonder if 'latics' means anything in Old English

You're looking at this from a purely adult perspective. Most kids I know, including my 7 year old, do associate with the name. As adults we can choose to use/ignore it. If, however it helps market to a younger potential fan, especially in these times where there is so much vying for their attention, then surely it's a good thing. Btw, he loves Max too!

feck me you`ve only won two

It isn't going to be dropped. The club are moving forward with the Warriors name attached.

Yes, Wigan RL is preferable, but I don't see it happening.

I cannot stand the warriors tag, or "rhinos, bulls...etc" its embarrassing., cheesy, pointless and should all be dropped.

DROP IT.

Anyone who says their kids go to watch the "warriors" has it wrong. They go to watch the local rugby team with their parents, they'd go if it was Wigan RLFC, Warriors or anything.

Who's saying anything of the sort. I said he likes it. Btw I'd appreciate you not telling me (and other parents) about our own children, you arrogant git!

We are Wigan and the football are 'The Latics'. No need for a silly Americanised nickname.
