What does it do for us? It's absolutely pointless.

We don't use it in our marketing, the tag isn't useful for anything and it's just there because of the introduction of Super League. To me, it's obvious that it's just a matter of time before it's dropped so why not just do it ASAP.

Riverting back to Wigan Rugby League Club is only a matter of time in my opinion.

Leneghan has stated that he likes it and that it will not be dropped as it is a brand that our more recent fans can relate to, i say get rid me sen like

I think it's more negative than anything.

If you check on teletext or newspaper articles, which looks better from a Wigan point of View:

''WARRIORS BEAT ______''

''WIGAN BEAT ______''

If your flicking through Rugby League news on your an not a huge RL supporter then Warriors could be anybody.

Warriors simply isn't Wigan, so why have it kept tagged onto the end of our name? It isn't our identity, it isn't used and in my opinion it makes us sound slightly American-super-dooper-hyperfyed....

We're a traditional Rugby League club and even our young supporters recognize that.

neither i, my family nor any of my mates call the club 'the warriors'.
i often find it's latics fans who use the name 'warriors'.
for me it's wigan rugby, always has been always will be.

Agree - get rid of the 'Warriors' tag. Wigan is the name that has historically struck fear into the hearts of opponents, and will do so again.

its always wigan in cup games on the bbc and games on the radio.
its only bert and ernie on sky that insist on using the warriors moniker.

I say drop the warriors tag for sure, its pointless.

Only way it will effect anything is about 2 of the songs.

Remember a few years ago when we had that questionnaire handed out before the game to be used to gather a general consensus amongst all fans about certain issues?

Well I am pretty sure that one of the findings of that was that the Warriors brand was the one to move forward with, I think the majority of fans responded positively too it. The following season of the questionnaire saw the introduction of the 'Wigan Warriors' badge to the official jersey. Where it has remained since.

I'm not totally against the Warriors brand but I do always refer to use as Wigan Rugby, even though I've now known them as the 'Warriors' for the longer amount of time!

I do however think it is a more marketable name for the club and as stated many times in this thread (and the hundreds of others there have been) those who knew the club as Wigan R.L can continue to refer to it as such, I don't see the big deal!

Totally agree 100%.

We are WIGAN RL

I think this feeling is shared amongst many fans, if you ask the mass majority of Salford fans, we would more than happily go back to Salford RLFC, I think it's time we all left these daft nicknames behind and go back to the more traditional names.

I agree with getting rid of the Warriors tag as well, add on the bonus of getting rid of the dreadful Max and it all sounds good to me.

I remember that questionaire too.

But although 'Warriors' is on our badge, apart from Max we have no association, history, merchendise, relation, identity, links, website, programme, books etc etc, to do with a WARRIOR. We simply do not relate to WARRIORS at all. People generally don't say to their mates they're ''going watching the Warriors'', they say ''I'm going watching the Rugby''.

It's about time it went. In fact, I'm going to take this further! Who'll join me?

Alex I 100% concur.

However, IL has gone on record as stating that he likes the "Warriors" tag.

Not going to happen sadly.
