It’s un-allocated mate

Belting

Thanks

For old times sake can I have me dad lift me over the turnstile?

The gang of four would have collectively hoisted you over back in the day. Things ain't what they used to be you know.

My old man still hasn’t forgiven me for the time I was 5 and he told the guy on the turnstile at Central Park I was 4 and I started shouting he was lying and I was 5

Bloke just said “you could kill kids, throw him over”.

Great days

Am discustard.

Is being sarcastic now part of the education system in Wigan.

or is just confined to those who think they are smart s?

Both. Ian Lenaghan introduced it mate.

No he didn't
The gang of 4 did

Uncle Mo started it with his "Theyre a lovely little club comment" and it started from there. One little throwaway comment like that and nearly 35 years later we all still at each other.
Jack Robinson joined in but went too far when he tried to sue the Wigan observer to try and fraud money for damages out of them for the non Neil Cowie transfer.
It was a joke phone call that got out of hand, you know "were selling Neil cowie to Leeds and its all off now because of your article so I want 100k off you" type thing.
He was being arcastic but then went through with it and before you know it everyone's in court all lawyered up. U mean, its not like we were drowning in debt etc at that point which ultimately led to the sale of central park etc that made him do it, honest (oops there i go with it now).
Sarcasm gone too far.

You would have thought Robinson would have learnt his lesson after the gene miles, Andy Gregory and John dorahay fiascos.

You know, thinking you can replace players/coaches with cheaper versions and still carry on winning.
Maybe thats where leneghan is going wrong?

Maybe he's listened to Ruddy Duck and thought yeah, let's do it like the gang of 4 did, replace great players with cheaper bargain buys? So maybe this is all Ruddy Ducks fault?

Oops, there i go again, sarcasm, or is it????

Would we be the same as Latics if our club nearly went to the wall .We did when we thought we were going to be relegated .Football has a lot more publicity than RL its just come back off a European final with loads of hype.

As a Latics fan myself I don’t think it was that great a crowd tbh. The clubs nearly gone to the wall and is being rebuilt and there’s an excitement from the fans to see what is pretty much a full new team. The first game back comes at a time where all restrictions on crowd sizes have been lifted, unlike the rugby where they couldn’t just make tickets a free for all to start with. In those circumstances I think 10,200 was solid but not much more. Let’s put it this way, had the rugby club faced the same set of circumstances, I think there would’ve been 15,000+ on.

Ultimately that crowd at Latics tells us nothing about our own attendances.
