Why didn't you all leave at half-time then?

| You need to leave at least 10 mins before the final hooter just to get out of the car park in less than an hour.

No, it's definately a car park.
Big open area?
Lots of cars parked on it?

Ancient and Loyal - not a rugby thing. And, it's under the railway bridge.
The motto adopted "Ancient and Loyal" is in keeping with the arms. For a great many years Wigan has on all occasions, official and unofficial, invariably referred to itself as the "Ancient and Loyal Borough," but few are aware that authority for its use can be found in the Charter of Charles II. - the governing charter of the town down to the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. In that Charter Wigan is designated by the King "an ancient borough" and granted a "special token of our favour for its loyalty to us," so that nothing could be more fitting than its adoption as the town's motto.

Given that Fans is shortened from Fanatics than you are probably right. So there's 2000 fanatics and 15k supporters.
But really? What happens if you nip to the loo during the game and miss a minute or two? In your view it's not 80mins and you shouldn't be there?

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

my dissertation shows that this is HUGE in rugby league, uncertainty of outcome v attendances etc.

But the word LOYAL is on the badge and therefore there is a certain ammount of irony!

| Wigan's average attendance is higher than the capacity of the HJ, a ground which is rarely filled.
Nuff said.
Loyalty is when the fans turn up and support week after week regardless of performances.
Wigan averaged nearly 16k in our near-relegation season, an average Warrington can still only ever dream of.
