What are JCL's? don't know much about wigan laxatives really so i don't get that bit.

Johnny Come Lately's.

Now a 13 page thread on this. I'm beginning to wonder who's more obsessed with who.

Mate respond all you like personally i dont give a **** what they say

What we on 15 pages bit much aint it?

Just remember WHY it started!

They (And probably it is the JCL's rather than the True Latics fans as I have 1/2 dozen or so Mates who've watched Latics for 30+ years and they NEVER have a dig at the Rugby or Myself back at them over the Latics) have been on a campaign to Run the Rugby into the ground for the Past 10 years!

Ever since they have felt they have had the "Upper Hand" with regards to the stadium we have been on the defensive and IMO until the sale of Wigan RLFC to IL we have struggled to regain our true individuality and fight back to regain our own True place in this town's sporting culture.

This obviously coincided with a gradual decline in Wigan RLFC's fortunes and a rise in Latics position in the Football league but I for one always felt that the 2 were inter-connected!

As stated previously for the 1st time ever I went onto the Cockney Liar after what I had Heard about the Boston Slander that was on there and TBH the Hatred, Ignorance, despise that a Lot of the posters on there feel towards not only Wigan RL but to other's inc the in fighting between themeselves reinforces the thought I have had for a long time!

I think that Football in this country as become such a Monster in this country over the last 15 years or so that there is now a belief that the game can do no wrong!
Subsequently the parasites that Play & Run the game feel and act as though they are "Untouchable" and the Arrogance and sheer disresepect that everyone shows to each other parallels in the society we have around us!

I believe Rugby League Has shown tendancies towards this and luckily the force from within "The Fans" will not allow this to happen and at the first sign of the game, it's administrators, it's players and most importantly it's Fans showing that Petulant,cocky,arrogant disrespect for others the True fans of the game knock them down a peg or two!

Wigan is and always has been a Stonghold of RL!

Football does dominate 90% of the Planet and good luck to them!

I want ourselves, St Helens (And that's why the Saints fans who kissed the Latics Badge at me a couple of weeks ago at KR make me sick!) Warrington, Leeds, Bardford,Both Hull clubs etc need to fight to retain their place on this countries sporting landmark as no-one else outside our 4 walls will fight for us!

I don't believe there is a 1 in a Billion chance that our game will EVER reach a True worldwide audience and 1 in a million chance it will EVER get the recognition and nationwide support it truly deserves.

Because of that I want us Wigan fans to defend this Game and our club wherever and whenever possible against the Monster that is Football.

They would have drove us into the ground and we could have found ourselves in a terrible situation if it were up to them, some of that would have been our own making and No, I don't blame Whelan totally.

I'm just saying that "They", and evidence suggests this is 50% minimum of their support would Kick us while we are down!
We must never let that happen to us!

The original post started due to some of their 'fans' refering to one of our greats as a paedophile.

A bit naive to think that one 13 page post is showing that we are obsessed or bothered by them.

Hey i agree with that comment 100% BUT it's turned into the same old oh wigan town is turning blue rubbish

If it was just about that mate i would have been joining in

It was right to condemn the comments (OP must have been on their website in the first place - why?).

However this has moved on from that to a why we hate Latics thread. Personally I don't give two hoots about them. I neither hate them or like them, I'm a Spurs fan . Quite a few of my friends are Latics fans and by that I mean proper ones who travelled to the likes of Gillingham on a Tuesday night only for it to be called off due to fog. It's a shame that the JCL's have effectively tarred them all with the same brush.

woody woody my point exactly,as wiganers we have two proffesional teams in the borough that have thier own loyal brand of supporters and that is the thing i respect most about both teams sets of fans.
its the glory hunting idiot know alls that grate with me

Well I've been a season ticket holder at Wigan RLFC since August 1982, does this make me a glory hunter?

No but a JCL compared to some a few of us who post on here.

matty b i never indicated you were a glory hunter if my memory serves me right wigan werent winning much around that period,hull kr were the dominant team around then

I would argue that currently WRLFC just doesn't have any JCL's, as proven by the rise in attendances in the past few years ie 2006. Even this year we are on course for around 14-14.5 K average when 3/4 of the games have been total garbage. We were struggling for these kind of averages even back in the glory years.
Now if we were to win something
