| Always makes me laugh when opposing fans say we was pro for when we only turned pro around a year before Superleague same time as Leeds,we was dominant for years before that.
Also next is you bought the best players,no we got some good ones (Hanley,offiah)some came home (Greg etc),some we took a punt on (Bell,West etc) some we made into good if not great players (Ged Byrne.Ian Potter)
and some home grown (Gildart,Edwards etc).What we did what gelled this fantastic era together was two of the best coaches (Lowe and John Monie) That was prob the best move.

| I just got sick of watching Wigan win the CC every year in the 90’s in one sided finals, yet being so proud of it!

It isn't a level playing field now.

Why wouldn't we be proud of it? Were you lot not proud of Leeds dominating a while back?

It cost us so much that we had to leave Central Park we payed our players too much money .Budget was that we won the CC when we lost to Salford and stopped the run we were in deficit with the players wages and had to sell the ground.

Hmmm. The price of success!
Never made it to Central Park and won’t make it to your new stadium as I really dislike football grounds….

We sold the ground because Mr Whelan wanted to build a new stadium and not use his money,he could secure funds if he had 2 different sports in one stadium,toyed with the idea with Orrell Union but that was a no go really.So Wigan was left weak with cost of the new stand and the end of our dominance Mr Whelan took his chance bought Latics for a pound bought our debts and got the money for the DW.
We did need to win everything but the new stand crippled us money wise.

I know you're just trolling now but....
Leeds broke the transfer record 3 times from 87 - 91 then poached the most successful English coach of the era from Widnes but yeah, totally one sided.

I’m just going on what all the older fans round here say, as before my ability to understand what was going on off field. Is an unshakable belief amongst most that Wigan somehow cheated in that era and the achievements are thus devalued. But clearly not nearly as simple as that…..!

You're right. We've done nothing but cheat since 1895.

Older fans are jealous mate that is all ,Leeds broke transfer records as did Stains but to no avail.
Wigan were that good in that era and some other fans still like to believe we cheated/bought the trophies anything so as not to admit Wigans dominance.
