This is a key point.

It's evidently much better for us overall if they stay up.

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.

a pathetic little club with an idiotic attitude towards the rugby. Iv actually stood in the North stand watching Liverpool at the DW and heard them singing "if you hate Wigan rugby clap your hands"

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

Of course it is. Look when he/she joined and it was their first post. It's quite obviously a Latics fan but does it really matter?

ps What is cockney liar?

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

That was kind of my point, hence why I said being selective wasn't a great tactic.

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?

It wouldn't bother me at all. I'm not going to get upset because someone I have no control over decides to change which team they "support". If they're like that they'll probably be "supporting" someone else next season.

So they're there to watch United, Liverpool, Everton etc. rather than support Latics? Are you sure?

Reet were getting somewhere here, now next year we are absolute pants, bottom of the table, the very same bloke YOU KNOW has now changed back to a Stains mon and is giving you pelters every time he see's you...what would you think of such a cretin? X that by a few thousand and you have the makeup/profile of the majority of tics fan base.
