I think Mr Rowlings (with his post of 1) has managed to do well today.

There's no insecurity about it, I just hate there whole attitude since they got promoted towards us. Wigan is, and always will be a rugby league town.

I'd say anyone who's majority of their posts on a rugby forum was about a team in a completely different sport obviously is thinking about them too much.

Just had a quick check there Andy and out of the last 24 threads ive posted on only 7 of them relate to Latics. When I went to school that little sum would have come to a minority.....Im guessing youve still not read through my postings re.the tics debates as you would clearly see my dislike is directed to a certain profile of tic 'fan'.
Fact is Andy youre not privy to the atmosphere created in the pubs/workplaces by some of these morons, so I fail to see how you can comment on the subject....

Exactly, same with a lot who post on here, in my workplace I deal with loads of them on a daily basis and have seen how they behave in pubs when the rugby is on in the past, if people could hear what they say about the rugby and what they call rugby fans im sure this thread would look a lot different.

If I looked at your last 6 posts I could prove they were all about Latics, which when I went to school is all of them, so being selective isn't a great tactic to use. I know exactly what your main beef is, it's the fact you post about it so much on here.

I know all about the morons on both sides, they're just as bad as each other.

This is a thread to congratulate Latics stopping in English soccer's top division. If you don't like them or don't care about them then why on Earth bother posting?

Indeed.

Considering the resources they have compared to others, 7 seasons in the Premiership is an excellent achievement.

This is also a thread mischeviously created by someone just to congratulate the Latics on a Rugby forum, despite never having posted any Wigan RL related subject before. If this poster racks up numerous posts relating to Wigan RL over the coming weeks then I will admit on here I was wrong......

...but I doubt it.

This will be my 1726 post, so youve just looked from 1720-1725, what about the other 1719? Now whos being selective?

Would you agree with my 'main beef'? Or would it not bother you that the bloke sat at the side of you cheering the next Sam Tomkins try was just 6 years ago parading around in a McKwans replica with Long emblazened on the back?

I thought this was bound to be obviously the case before IL ever mentioned it. The thing is though while they have survived this time will they continue to do so? I think it's inevitable they will get relegated sooner or later so Wigan RL and IL will have to deal with the consequences at some point.

people didn't want to go watch latics when they were playing the likes of mansfield town. now they are in the top flight, playing some of the greatest teams in the world, and people attend matches? shocking! that is a completely reasonable attitude to have and i have no idea why anyone would care.



pretty hilarious stuff given the 'f the latics' line which gets sang week in week out.
