rlThis lot.rl

The fantastic memories from growing up watching the team of the 60's. The feeling of belonging to something special. The fact that even though I have lived in London for 26 years everyone who knows me knows I am a pie eater through and through. A list of players a mile long but particularly Boston, Ashurst, and McTigue. The continuing success of Shaun Edwards: he may coach Wales RU but he takes evry opportunity to show he is pure Wigan. Bloody hell, I could go on for hours but I've got to get up in the morning.

The Town
The club
The legends
The History
The roll of honour
The cup final emotions
The fantastic people Ive met
The feeling of pulling on the cherry and white hoops
The badge on my chest
Local derby wins
The history of central park
The fantastic coaches
The loyal supporters
The feeling I get leading up to a match
The unbelieve feeling of a last minute win

I love my town so much and Im unbelievably proud to be a wiganer. I wouldnt want to be anything else and I never want to leave. Wigan Rugby League is and always will be a masive part of my life.
Often when I have rant, its about the team. That takes nothing away from me supporting my town

The fact its been and is the most progressive club in the game.

The fact that we are :

The Most Successful Rugby League Club in the World.
The Most Successful 'Rugby' Club in the World.
The 2nd Most Successful Sporting Club in the World.

Who is the most? out of interest

Rangers FC I believe.

Some fantastic responses on the thread by the way

This sums it up for me really. Today I stayed back after College to attend a late session and the tutor somehow got onto talking about clothing. He looked at my t-shirt and said "...a rugby top, red and white, Wigan Warriors" and without even thinking about it I had a massive pride filled smile on my face.

I am incredibly proud of the club and to be a fan fills me with pride.

Get out?

It would be like Wigan and St Helens playing in NWC division 6 for 100 years.

Unfortunately thats the case.

Scottish Championship.
Scottish Cup
Scottish League Cup

Plenty chances of silverwear when there has only been 2 teams in it for decades.

what are you talkin about?

Depends on what sort of money they could bring in I suppose, I'd say bottom half starting off as they wouldn't be used to the pace week in week out. Don't think it's ever going to happen though which is a great shame IMO regardless of what people think of the sectarianism between the 2 clubs.


Anyway, getting back on topic. I love how wherever I go if I have my Wigan shirt on it is always noticed, whether it be in England or abroad there is always someone who will know our famous club. I love the build up to match days, seeing the same faces you know who are going to be there every week regardless of how we are doing. I've also met some pretty good people and had some very enjoyable trips that I never would of imagined happening when I first started watching Wigan. I count myself extremely lucky and proud when anyone asks me who I support, not just because of our history and success but because we are what our badge says. Well, Loyal anyway

Its impossible to pick any one thing, they are just Wigan RL, a massive part of my everyday life, all week is spent looking forward to the game, then it arrives and come hell or highwater no matter how we play, that starts all over again as soon as the game is done.

I also love the passion of our fans - Which is displayed nowhere better than on here with the amount of arguing we do with each other.

this great club is like family

some days you love it
others you wish you had never met it

but mostly its always there when you have bad times and good.

through wigan and rugby in general i have met some fantastic people and have introduced friends ( who like me thought football was a great game) to the beautiful truely family game of RUGBY LEAGUE.
