Does anyone know why we changed from blue & white to cherry & white at the end of the 1800s? According to the history books the Leythers were first to use cherry & white hoops (from the Leigh coat of arms apparently - although the timeline is a bit fuzzy), just wondering why we effectively nicked them off them.

I mentioned here some long time ago last year about thinking about moving to Wigan. Well yesterday I had an offer on a house in Wigan accepted!

That six-hour drive is something I sure won't miss, Wiganosopher!

Anyway, I'm further South than you (as I recall)!

Is the Fantasy Rugby and the predictions that used to be run on here dead and buried for good now, thought I read somewhere last year that it may return this year, but since we are close to the start of the season I doubt it will be happening this year either. Will it ever return? I know it must have been a very time consuming job, but I preferred it to all the other Fantasy games available.

Watched a bit of Latics v Sheffield Wednesday last night. Wasn't overly impressed by the state of our pitch.
What's the odds the soccer men will blame us in a couple of weeks time?

I would say quite high given its a yearly occurrence. Maybe it wouldn't matter to them as much if they weren't so s**t

Just did a quick interview with Martin Offiah and Pat Richards at rlhttps://wiganrugby.blog/2017/03/08/big-interview-pat-richards-and-martin-offiah/rl

Interestingly Pat Richards hopes to come back to Wigan as soon as he can for the send off he missed when he retired before the Wigan v Catalan game last season

What's happened to Bilko's site? It just redirects to the forum now? Shame if all that work has just gone but I'm guessing it's archived somewhere.

You can tell that Bradley Wiggins is a warriors supporter as he is being accused of breaching the spirit of the rules for cycling.

If you want to see something strange and weird....... go find Gelling on twitter... All i'll say is..... Underpants...

I'm no fan of Kay Burley, but just seen something on Twitter that made me smile.... Apparently she made some comment about a referees decision during yesterdays RU international... It got a response "What do you know about Rugby"..... She replied, "I'm from Wigan".... Boom, as i believe the youngsters are wont to say...
