I was driving to work this morning in Hyde and was sat at the lights, glanced to my left and there was another lad sat in his car. He had a Wigan shirt hanging up in the back and mini shirt in his rear window. I papped my horn and showed him the respect for displaying the colours.
When was the last time you saw a Wigan fan when you least expected it?
On a lesser point I also see a Saints sticker in a car in Ashton Under Lyne now and again, havent caught up with this individual as yet.

I suppose not the oddest but i seem to see a Wigan shirt everywhere i go on holiday. Walking down the las vegas strip i saw a cherry and white shirt walking towards me. Of course you have to stop them and say hello.
Although i did come a cropper on a train once....i saw a guy in a wigan jumper and hat, so i just said "how you think the seasons going pal" to the reply "i dont support them lad i just got them from a charity shop".

| On my first full day on holiday in New York about 7 years ago, I saw a bloke in the queue for the Empire State Building wearing our 2002 Murrayfield shirt.  |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I have seen them all over the place, in france (not at an Wigan game), Wales north ans south, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds. I also once saw a lorry on the ferry with a Wigan scarf accross the front, it was a french lorry so the driver was also french I think.

I'm sure I saw a charity video once on the telly showing you all the clothes donations people had made to third world countries, with someone wearing that god awful warriors top from a few years back. No jokes about how that was actually in Wigan please...  |

| I've just seen some lanky youth in Sainsbury's on Deansgate in Manchester wearing our current shirt. I then got into a panic as to whether the Bradford game was actually tonight instead of tomorrow...
'Strangest' place is probably in Puerto de Pollenca, Majorca a few years ago. A chap wearing a Wigan shirt was being dragged around the markets by his missus one afternoon. |

Chris Jericho replying to an idiot on his own webpage.
Source:- Chrisjericho.com
''Oct 28 - Dear Mr Hitman 8976200, I knowledge my glaring error in mis-identifying the Dynamite Kid's accent as cockney instead of Wigan. I am just a confused Canadian and my lack of distinction between the two accents was indeed a glaring error. Thank you for pointing out this glaring error. Now shut the hell up and move on with your life.
Signed, Chris "I promise to let everyone who I come in contact with from this point on know that Dynamite Kid is from Wigan and will write it on the chalkboard 1004 times" Jericho''
