| Quote: Pemps "Largely irrelevant what they called themselves or if they gave themselves a name at all. There'll always be someone to complain about them and what they do. Rugby fans, and it's not unique to Wigan, are the biggest moaners around. Like someone else said earlier, if this is the only thing we've got to moan about then things must be going well on the playing side.'"
Speaking honestly, it's this sort of dismissive and insulting attitude that I find to be a problem. I could expand on the initial reason I gave as to why the name isn't "irrelevant" (referring to reasoning given by the Brigantes themselves as well as my own reasoning) but you give the impression that you aren't up for the discussion. In fact, most discussions relating to the Brigantes--even ones conducted tactfully and couched in positive comments--are responded to as though they are off-limits. I said in my response to the PM I received that if some fans are feeling alienated by what they describe as elitist and divisive attitudes or practices then this should be addressed properly. Those reservations shouldn't just be dismissed or shouted down; that only exacerbates feelings of dissonance between what is essentially one set of fans--Wigan fans--who should really feel a sense of solidarity and community between themselves, rather than antagonism.

You got one too then. I couldnt agree more with what you have said.

Under18ers would be more apt.
Or, the Fantas. They'll not manage to get served owt stronger for a few years...

| Pointless asking questions on here.
They apparently have a rule not to post on here.
Before I recieve my usual snotty, almost offensive and abusive PM, I'm NOT slagging on that opening 2 sentences.
Just informing the masses who have questions.

My appologies. The phone appeared to have completely ignored the word 'not'.
Corrected.
Again I was NOT having a dig at their decision to not post on here.
I've long since stopped giving opinions on the group.
Just repeating something I have read after being told also.

| In all seriousness the atmosphere created on Friday was brilliant. Some of the new songs 'Kings of Rugby' 'Cherry and White' and 'We are Second to None' are real favourites of mine. They are true rugby songs and gone are the days of the wigan fans being associated with one song and a finger point. As far as I am concerned let them do what they want in moderation, there was no trouble on friday, they created a LOUD and vibrant atmosphere which urged the lads on.
One query what is the 'Wigan is a rugby town' song? That sounded like a potential cracker aswell.

If anyone receives a PM on any subject they feel is inappropriate either hit the ! button to report it and it'll go to one of the Mods or raise it directly with one of the Mods on here.
PLEASE DON"T go posting PMs on here, thanks.

The pm has been forwarded to me at my request. Nothing in it really.
Nothing to see, move along please.

Would like to know the words to that, too.
