Eh? When all other clubs were amateur? Well that was pre 1895. So, we were famous before the split with RU and he formation of the Northern Union but you think we haven't been since then. Wow, that's a big claim.

That's correct. In the words of Stevo; "it's as simple as that".

A few people full of self importance on this thread.

Wigan is famous for one thing and that is rugby league the reason for this its a s**t hole and nothing else ever happens there. The reason no one likes you is for comments like we are the most famous rugby team in the world. So it's true most neutrals want you to lose as a lot of Wigan supporters think they have a god given right to win.

You're mother must be proud to have produced such a warm human being !

We have been in 29 Challange Cup Finals and won 18.
As we didn't win eleven of those twenty nine what makes you think that we believe we have a god given right to win?

Spot on. Everyone is jealous of your huge success over the last few years.

Thank you "Mr Popular"

I think most people couldn't give a monkey's about you or any other club. They'll be more interested in their own team. If you think you're the most famous club in the world then that's fine.

I'd certainly trade our success over the last few years for the stains success......

Cause they play in Lancashire.

Not a problem "Mr.Special Case"

Maybe so. But to claim that fans of other clubs are shouting for Hull tomorrow because they wish they were Wigan is just plain stupid.
