The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten.
He wears a hooded sash,
With a silver hat about his head,
And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn Wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you 'round and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47600.jpg |

I think Riversiders would have been better. The idea is a very good one, I just think the name choice is a bit lame.

Brigantes operated against the Romans in an area from what is now north of the River Mersey pinching at a point of what is now Wilderspool in Warrington and as far up as Cumrbria and over to Yorkshire.
So in essence Rugby league country.
Brigantes are all of us !
Whhooaa Whoa !
Nana nana nana naaa
Whoaaa Whoa !
nanan nanan naaa !
A lovely catchy Zulu tune ???

You do realise that "Yorkshire" didn't exist until much later in history, don't you? I'm proud to be a Lancastrian, but even I wouldn't claim the County Palatine existed prior to the coming into existence of England.... ![]()
Don't let facts get in the way of cr*p trolling! These Brigantes were based in Keighley, don't you know? Stupid of us in Wigan to name our supporters group after them!

The organised fans did bring more than flags and a drum to the game; what turned into a disaster on the field ended up in a rewarding experience at the HJ. Well done to all!!!

I take your point, but the people in Wigan at the time (and I think there is evidence of pre-Roman settlement of Wigan) would have considered themselves Brigantes. Just because you live in Wigan today doesn't mean you're less English than a Cockney.
I think it's an unusal choice but not wrong and trolls saying the Brigantes have named themselves after a tribe from a county, when that county (and England itself) didn't exist at the time are barking up the wrong tree! |
