On my first full day on holiday in New York about 7 years ago, I saw a bloke in the queue for the Empire State Building wearing our 2002 Murrayfield shirt. icon_cool.gif

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



In Amsterdam airport, I was just arriving for an early morning meeting.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



I have seen them all over the place, in france (not at an Wigan game), Wales north ans south, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds. I also once saw a lorry on the ferry with a Wigan scarf accross the front, it was a french lorry so the driver was also french I think.

I've just seen some lanky youth in Sainsbury's on Deansgate in Manchester wearing our current shirt. I then got into a panic as to whether the Bradford game was actually tonight instead of tomorrow... icon_lol.gif

'Strangest' place is probably in Puerto de Pollenca, Majorca a few years ago. A chap wearing a Wigan shirt was being dragged around the markets by his missus one afternoon.

Snicky, snacky, snook:5524.jpg



On a train to Parramatta from Sydney. I was wearing my Wigan Patrick spray jacket at the time in 2004. An oldish looking Kiwi said "I am a Wigan fan, I played for them in a Challenge Cup final in 1960's!" - never caught his name though.

Can anyone help?

Also got a few iN Sydney as is expected as well as a Mexican Pool Entertainer at our Hotel in Cancun one year!
