As Ive said previously I dont really mind the glory hunters as each club has them be that Wigan RL, Tics or any other club.
But these extra Wigan RL fans you point out in your posting, have the vast majority of them supported Stains, Wire or Leeds in the past?
You have clearly been outed as a bulsh!tter who likes his own version of facts.
Latics had 8-9000 attending in the early 80s. As the novelty wore off in the 90s, it dwindled down to 1500-2000. So maybe the extra fans you claim supported "other clubs" were actually those who had turned their back on Latics (and football in general). And maybe they take their kids too now.
Same for the rugby. They used to get crap crowds and then people fell in love with the game again.
