Quote: Bostonslugholes "Ok but we are the most successfull British Rugby League Club in History theres no arguing with that one, i wonder where Wakefield rank on that scale???? I bet your bottom dollar there are teams in the championship who have a better history than Wakey, and lets not forget we are the joint record holding club for the most wins in the world club challenge and the only one ever to go over to Austrailia and win in this most prestigious of competitions, sorry if youve never heard of it Wakey fans i wouldnt expect you too looking at your incredibly bare honours list.

It's bad times for your club im afraid when your sitting below a woeful Widnes Vikings side in the super league table!
Best of luck your team needs skip fulls of it, i say skip because it's probably a term you understand going of recent vists to Wakefield! Yep, this is why everyone hates Wigan!

Quote: Tricky2309 "A reasonable post - only took till page 7.

I have been watching Wakey for 30 years, the only silverware won in that time being the Yorkshire Cup and the Northern Ford (or whatever it was called at the time) Grand Final. As you can imagine in that period I have seen some shocking performances, witnessed the club at times lurch from one crisis to another, yet I still go watch every home game (even though I don't live in Wakey and have to catch three trains to get there and another three to get back home afterwards).

I would love Wakey to get to be a regular competitor at the top of the table, but would hope if we ever got there, I would act with more humility to those fans of the less fortunate clubs, than some of the Wigan fans posting on here can bring themselves to do.'"


Yes, some of the Wigan fans posting on here don't have humility or respect for other clubs, but are you saying it's only Wigan that has that issue? Realistically, ALL clubs will have a percentage of nobheads, who may be vociferous, but not sharing a majority view. You are always going to be up against it, coming on a forum and insulting people, so although I respect your faith in your own club, I feel you are going to struggle to generate much empathy here.

As I have already stated, my initial posts insulted no one but sought to offer a view that Wakefield were not the only team on Sunday employing spoiling tactics. In fact other than to call one person clueless in response to a post that was worthy of the description, I have insulted no one, despite there being numerous posts of an arrogant and condescending nature, most of which were not actively offering any worthwhile counter argument to what I said.

Of course all clubs have a percentage of idiots, but they don't seem to have this inbuilt superiority complex that a number of your fans seem to have

Has it occurred to you that we may like to perpetuate and pander to peoples beliefs?

Quote: Tricky2309 "Yes Poore is really soft that's why it was Farrell sat on his booty.

Wigan aren't bad for high shots? Ok if you say so. Watch a replay of Sundays game and you will see your players doing plenty of them. I'm pretty sure a couple of the attempts Mellars went through to score were round the neck'"



Sarcasm alert, sarcasm alert. He missed the chuffing sarcasm!

Who says they're thick in Wakey?

Not wishing to appear harsh, Tricky but if I were you I'd be much more concerned with what the people of Wakey think about your team than Wigan fans. Out of a population of 315,000 in the city of Wakefield only about 150 people bothered to turn out at the weekend. For a one sport and one club town that is woeful. It's the failure of so called heartland clubs like Wakey that is really holding back SL.

Look tricky i have to agree with Deano G you brought a pathetic following to our ground so you are in no position to criticise our fans, but whilst on the subject matter on previous trips to your ground i can honeslty say your fans are the worst kind ive ever come across, horendous language!!!!!! i once witnessed a full 80 minutes of vile abuse directed towards the officials (Whats that all about it's supposed to be a family game is that how you want to mentor your kids?????) and then your very own so called professional coaches etc.. began to chase them off the field at the final whistle, it's takes a brave wiganer to say this but your fans are worse than St Helens and Warringotns put together. Maybe you should start a football team in Wakey and scrap the Rugby, your fans would be more at home watching footy.

Quote: Tricky2309 "This post sums up why I can safely say the majority of fans in RL hate Wigan. Nothing to do with jealousy over your past success but the sheer arrogance and contempt with which you look down on everyone else. Yet in my experience half of your fans haven't got a clue about RL your just along for the ride (you seem to fit nicely into this category).

As for your comment about Wakefield, I forgot that Wigan was the UK equivalent to Beverley Hills. I for one can say I would only be too happy if people as clueless as you don't bother to visit Wakefield.

Keep talking about the past, cos as I said in a previous message, in the SL era your not even top 3.'"


Isn't that the past also, Tricky? Please try not to contradict yourself with your own posts!

How far back are we allowed to talk about when we talk about the past?

Just a note - the 315k population is for the actual Wakefield district - including Wakefield,Cas & Featherstone.
Wakefield city population is circa 75k

This is also the team that's forever near the bottom of the table but has had for a season and a half an average of 8,100, not a bad average!

Just would like to mention that while your team was giving us a pasting at our ground last year one of our fans decided to pick on one of your fans and was ready to assault him. I stepped in and got the fan kicked out and stuck up for little Wigan fan so please don't stereotype all Wakefield fans. Some of us are genuine fans of the game and like the harmless banter but even if some of our own fans step over the mark I believe there are plenty that would do the same.

We all know not all fans are the same. I've been to Wakey quite a few times, and found the fans to be very knowledgeable, and passionate. Now, we all have our idiots, it wasn't a month ago that we had 3 guys banned from the ground for fighting within themselves. So we, as a club, are far from whiter than white.

I saw the sending off for the first time yesterday, I have to say as a boxing fan it's the best punch I've seen on RL pitch since Mason's on Fielden icon_smile.gif Farrell went down like a sack of 5hit.

I doubt you would know what difficult times was in Wigan, unless of course the government has reduced unemployment and disability benefits' try giving the wife a few more bob or get a job, your attendances' would not be increasing then icon_lol.gif
