"Wigan Athletic - No known famous fans. The town (of Wigan) apparently goes into hibernation when the Rugby League season ends!" Daily Mail Online feature, July 2009
-------------------------------------------------------------
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!
............
Wigan RLFC - The Uprising!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Wigan footballer Mohamed Diame described the home of mint balls and pies as 'cr**py'.
But Tomkins boomed: "I don't want to know what he thinks. I don't even know his name. He only plays for Latics.":16522.jpg |

| Went into Waterstones just after 11am yesterday morning. There was a small queue at the time and I chatted with a woman who worked in there.
She stated that Billy hadn't been well and that, although he would definitely be coming to sign the books at 12-00, they thought that he wouldn't be able to stay long.
I went back at around 12-00 and the queue was outside of the store, with staff extending the tapered areas to manage the queue.
Wonder what the queue will be like for Sean Long's book signing at Waterstones next Saturday?  |

Billy happily signed my rllegends t-shirt and must have liked the design as he asked for the manufacturers address, personal details, the car he drives and the times of day that he is at home alone...

I've greased the basement floor and have an iron hanging above a light pull switch. |

Went myself and really enjoyed it, couldn't agree more with all you have said, surely someone from the club was available, only bad note was seeing Billy in poor health, hope he his feeling better soon. |
