Lets see what happens'"
You know what I love about this kind of rant/fishing trip?
If a Wigan fan brings up the 80s and 90s they are living in the past, but somehow the winners of last years GF are apparently elevated above the rest of the world with some god like super powers in the current season.
If a reference to the CC is made the previous winners are the [icurrent holders[/i of the CC not the greatest cup playing team in the world whom nobody can touch.
And finally the previous League Winners are just the winners of last years league, no super powers from being the most constant league team the previous year and I'm fine with that as it's last year.
Looking at the the current season, nobody has won anything and the only real bragging rights are around how far your team has progressed in the CC and league position.

Better watch out of that many Leigh fans are in one place at the same time. Must be very hard to tell them apart especially with all the inbreeding that goes on there. Hills have eyes have nothing on Leigh.
Leigh the type of place Freddie Kruger would be running away from the children.

| My thoughts on Leigh last night.
Good sized following - would put at least half the Super League clubs to shame. Just a pity they don't do that for every match.
Very noisy. Pity most of it was foul-mouthed anti-Wigan profanity, which negates any good will it might have created. Do they not have any actual 'support Leigh' songs?
Their team was utterly woeful. Wigan took it easy on them, even earlier in the game when they were racking up the scores. There was very little vicious defence on show. It was like a training game, only less difficult than that if I'm honest. Wigan were barely trying in the second period.
Therefore - not a lot has changed in the relatives statuses of Wigan RL and Leigh RL. It's much as it always was.
At some point Leigh people, those who care about RL at least - which is plainly not many - ought to realise that defining themselves by a jealous hatred of Wigan is no way to progress, either in sport or life. But as that's now been going on for so long, I'm not holding my breath.
Leigh = joke.

Who finished top of the league last season?
Who’s top at the minute?
And if you want to dwell in the past, who is the most successful club in the history of the game?

No mate, it's all true. But if you don't want that kind of truth to hit you in the face like a brick, I suggest you aim your outrage at the Leigh pillock who started this pointless thread, the only outcome of which has been you lot getting owned for the second day on the trot.

Do you honestly think what Cruncher posted is untrue.
Wigan played for 15 minutes and during that time were running at 1.5 points per minute. That type of effort was achieved with several players including key one rested. A century + defeat was on the cards if Wigan cared enough. The saddest aspect about last night very few people cared despite the rhetoric. The biggest joke is the delusion that Leyther think they are rivals to Wigan. Forget Geography, anybody who said well done to you Leythers was patrionising you. Let us be honest, Leigh sucked. Hence the so called great rivalry led to fewer Wiganers attending a fixture than v anybody else incl Catalans, London and so forth.
The Leigh fans broke every rule regarding RFL fan behaviour and national sports stadia. Proud or It was akin to the land time forgot in the North Stand last night. It is years / a decade since fans behaved like the Leythers did. Other Championship teams have done far better, Barrow for example.
As long as RL fans like Leythers continue to delude themselves, our sport will never make progress.

You mistake Leigh's distaste of Wigan as a sporting rivalry. That's but a small part of it.
We know what the state of our team is, what the state of our club is and we turned up anyway. Sure, the chanting could have been more positive, and usually is - but it's been 8 years since we had the chance to tell your home support what we think of them and we only had 80 minutes in which to get the message across, loud and clear.
And with the 'council tax' gloating from Wiganers, it would seem we have good reason to be upset with having our tax funds going to WMBC.
Hope we get the chance to come and have another sing at the DW some time soon. Until then, good luck and have fun!

Well obviously Leigh did not play anyone on Thursday but you are completely silly in your observations as is the following poster Fylde Warrior.
Did Leigh fans support really annoy you so much that you wish you had not supported your team ? Was there any violence in the Stands or in Wigan before or after the game ?
Was anyone psychologically damaged ? Why do you think even your own team came over to the Leigh end after the game to applaud the fans ?
I really do think if Wigan spent 180k on the salary cap instead of 1.8 million per season you would not be in such a smug silly mood as Fylde Warrior who constantly posts condescending tripe on the Leyther board.
Get real for Leythers this was our Cup Final. OK you won. Did anyone think they would not ?

You seem to think that we, as Wiganers, care that you hate us? It doesn't bother us. It's a bunch of toothless rednecks spouting out uneducated drivel. If you put as much effort into supporting your club, as you did hating Wigan, you might get more than 1500 through the turnstiles each week.

Cough Splutter. Just remind me, how exactly was the Leigh Sports Village funded?
