| Quote Fames="Fames"8 Challenge Cup wins on the trot 88 -95, winning the league most of those years as well, in addition several Premierships and John Player trophies.
Saw them all and they were "The happiest days of our lives!"
No wonder, though, we were/are hated.
Why Gary Schofield is like he is - and maybe why certain refs ( Ganson and Bentham) who grew up in this era may - under pressure - yield to their deep-seated antipathy towards Wigan!'"
I'm not sure thats it though. I wasn't around but I have a feeling our fans would have been unbelievably arrogant about those times.

| I do think it is a throwback to the fact that we were so successful in the past, in being so we embody everything that was "bad" about the game. Hence why certain parts of the media and dare I say the RFL seem at times to do their utmost to belittle us. Even in our current clean state without any association to the cheating of the past, we are still the Dwayne Chambers of SL and I do think that if we do go on to more successes it'll only increase!
We are still the biggest name in British RL but I'd say Saints aren't too far off.

| I'll probably start disliking Wigan again when they win something. That's when the green eyed monster comes out but he's been too busy with Saints and Leeds for the last decade.

| Even though I'm sure he's intending to get a few bites, it's true what hes said. The Wigan hating has reached all new levels this week. Some people need to take more of an interest in their own clubs instead of sulking about Wigan.

| These threads are very annoying.
This is a forum for fans of all RL clubs. I can almost guarantee some of our fans will be on the Saints, Wire and Leeds boards as much as their fans are on this board; that's kind of the point of RLFans.
Of course fans of other clubs will be jealous of Wigan's past success, I'm sure as hell envious of the success Bradford, Saints and Leeds have enjoyed in recent times!
Part of the reason we may get 'special attention' is that Wigan fans manage to over react spectacularly to certain incidents (see McGuire's illegal tackle on Carmont), are easy to wind up, and reactions like the ones given to the news McGuire is out for the season won't get us many friends either.

| Out of interest, who do most Wigan fans hate more, Warrington or Saints? Warrington or Leeds?
A sign of where the new dominant force in RL is emerging perhaps....?

Did you write that question intending to get a specific answer?
