yeah it is pasty...used to watch both Leigh and Wigan

and on the subject of chants when i went to the 4 nations game at the dw last year the wigan fans started that good old chan w***n w***n W***N and were signging songs about wigan players at that game so i think you lot are blowing this up into something bigger than it actually is oh and by the way sam tompkins was outstanding for england yesterday a reall class act

In football, you don't see people turning up in club colours, they all wear England shirts. I'd like to think if the RFL tried to promote the wearing of England gear, it'd be harder for people to distinguish the clubs they each support, so hopefully would get behind England. If there's a group of Wire or Saints fans and they see a group of Wigan fans sat not so far away, they're going to chant anti-Wigan songs, the same with us, we'd sing anti-Wire songs like we did at Murrayfield Magic.

Love it

Jealous thats all they are **** um

Both fair points. Think it can be related to the lack of games to be honest as people think what's the point of buying a shirt if England are only going to play at home once a year, and I think the same could be said as to why so few people take the international scene seriously.

Look at how many games the football side play and how many the RL side do, and I think that begins to answer why there's an entirely different culture. That said, I'd rather the inter-club banter of RL internationals than the all-out xenophobia of the football!

XENOPHOBIA..............Word of the day

Its good for the SL comp to have a good Wigan side & Wires competing with Saints & Leeds just need the rest of us to do the same week in week out

How much were adult tickets for last night's game?

£10

I was stood next to the Leigh supporters singing Pasty NOT Paki! I would rather they had joined together in England songs but the small minded heads have such a huge chip on their shoulders about Wigan that they couldn't resist the anti Wigan chants. They seemed more interested in the anti Wigan chants than the game! Athough I have to say that they were reasonably good humoured but it was quite unnecessary and tainted what was otherwise a good afternoon watching an excellent looking England team made up of a good cross section from SL & NRL.

Leigh now have a good ground. They now just need some good RL supporters!

Thats what you get for playing an international in that horrible skanking little town full of idiots.

Agreed.

They will never ever be in SL and rightly so. They are a disgrace to the game.

I think the anti-Wigan stuff(which is being taken out of proportion) was because of the easyness of the games, against Aus and NZ you don't hear much like that. Also, i don't see anything wrong in wearing your home club colours, that's what makes RL better than other sports isn't it?

I just don't see the point of it when you're supposed to be there to support one individual team, and like I said, I think it would eliminate the automatic segregation that happens , ie. Club fans automatically sitting near each other then singing club songs.
