--------WIGAN RL is a club to be proud of--------
but have forgot one thing.............wigan only have one song
WIGAN WIGAN WIGAN WIGAN WIGAN WIGAN WIGAN
I don't know what is worse. The chant above or the obsessive nature of fans of both Hull clubs to sing about their fathers gun.

Our fans can be awesome when the team plays well, every time you guys have been in town you have beaten us or played well and stopped us from running away with it. If its a close game it will be a great atmosphere.

| I've been a Rovers supporter since 1973 when age 7, barely missing a home game since, so have seen a few highs and lows.
I must admit I haven't travelled to many away matches for about 20 years but the chance of Rovers being top of the league on Friday night means that it's a match I can't miss- has anyone looked in the history books to note the last time we topped the league - probably not since we were champs in 1985 I'm guessing but perhaps I'm mistaken? I'm looking forward to my first visit to the JJB (or is the the Dave Whelan stadium now?)- where's the place to park?
I too have always had a soft-spot for Wigan fans ..... how many remember that Charity Shield weekend in the Isle of Man (was that 1985?)? It was a good weekend- I guess that Rovers were at their peak then (before a rapid decline) and Wigan were an emerging force.
My gut instinct says that as a team we have some great individuals but there are still enough technical deficiencies in certain players (positional sense and tackling technique in particular) that means we won't maintain 2nd spot (or higher!) but the effort and commitment are excellent and that counts for a heck of a lot in the big matches.
It's a great achievement to be where we currently are - onwards and upwards!

Erm....Yeah after 5 games of our first Superleague season actually the night we beat Leeds.
Admittedly this was only for 1 night as it probably will be this weekend should we beat Wigan
