Talk about spitting the dummy out. Some highlights for those who cba reading the thread:
1. Having 40% of our fans from outside the town is a bad thing apparantly.
2. If CP was redeveloped for both teams no 'tics fans would go.
3. To them, having a stand named after Billy B is the same as calling a stand at Anfield the Dixie Dean Stand.
4. One of them is pleased as a kid in sweet shop to be sat in the West Stand on a blue seat

| What does make me laugh is the thought of some Latics fan sitting in a seat that was occupied by Fat Harry the night before.  |

Yes, but if only 60% of our fanbase is from Wigan and 80% of Latics' is from Wigan then is Wigan a rugby or football town?
Both sides get around the same amount of HOME fans every week. Wigan is a SPORTING town. Simple as that.

Well what defines a legend? Scoring the goals to take you to the PL? Scoring the goals to keep you there? Scoring the goals to take you to your first major cup final (including a last minute winner in the semi)?
JR ticks all them boxes. Like most players though he moved to a 'bigger' club who then finished below us in the league.

A legend is someone who consistently serves a club for the majority of their career who bleeds the colour of the club, not someone who wins you a few matches over 2 years, would you consider Barrett a Wigan 'Legend' Lyon a Saints 'Legend' legends are players like Kris Radlinski, Shaun Edwards and Billy Boston. Wigan Athletic have no players past or present of this type. Hence the 'Springfield Park Stand' |

We do. Just not modern day.
This is the online definition of a legend
8. Archaic. a story of the life of a saint, esp. one stressing the miraculous or unrecorded deeds of the saint.
9. Obsolete. a collection of such stories or stories like them.
Due to the points I made I would say JR could be classed as a Latics legend. |

Just ignore them. In a few years when they drop back down through the divisions, Cockney Lactic will become a thing of the past, much like Pooles pie shops and Safeway supermarket.

Yeah, but they have been on the rise for ten years, supporters will drop off as they drop. Regardless, you understood the point I was making. |

What happened to number 1?
Two out of eight isn't too impressive  |

| Wigan will always truly be a Rugby League town, for the person who just questioned that.
As for the topic, well I personally don't think we'll move for a long, long time. Not unless Whelan does something insanely stupid and we HAVE to. I wouldn't want to, either; cracking walking distance for me every home game!  Haha. |

I like the place, even if there is next to no atmosphere.
Couple in Jawbone beforehand before wandering down. Same again after game.
