Re: Would you follow Wigan Rugby Union?
<r><QUOTE author="slimshady"><s>[quote="slimshady"]</s><QUOTE author="cpwigan"><s>[quote="cpwigan"]</s>I would watch other sports that I find more entertaining before Union, such as football, boxing. Wigan Rugby Union already exists there is minimal interest in it. Orrell has plans to return to Orre...

Re: Mick Hogan still at it.
<t>I was there also today at the Reebok. Paid £11 for a decent ticket behind the sticks. I think the crowd would have been bigger if they hadn't picked a day whereby all the ru clubs in the area would have played that afternoon. However, that said, there was not 16,500 there- that must have just bee...

Re: Petition to stop Leeds council robbing Hunslet
<t>If it was anyone other than Hunslet I would have sympathy, but after my experiences of Hunslet fans when watching Blackpool Panthers, I couldn't give a flying!<br/> <br/> The majority of Hunslet fans are uneducated chavs who intimidate opposing teams fans and then threaten violence. I have witnes...
Re: Heinz
<t>IF Heinz workers are considering going on strike over the previously stated 4% and 3% annual pay rises, they should think themselves lucky.<br/> <br/> I got 0% rise this year, and will get 0% next year. When you factor in inflation at 3.2% using the govt's official stats, then effectively my wage...

Re: Wonderful Wigan Town
<t>As touched on by others- the biggest problem for Wigan is the road infrastructure. Going West out of Wigan town centre at 5pm is a nightmare whether that's going down past Wigan pier and through the Saddle or via Poolstock Lane towards the M6 is mostly 10 mph gridlock. Takes me circa 15 mins in m...

Re: Anybody else losing faith with RFL match officials?
<t>Wow! I actually agree with a cpwigan post! <br/> <br/> The poor level of officiating is now getting to the point whereby it is undermining the credibility of the game. The RFL really need to focus on cleaning up the rule book and making the rules clearer and more prescriptive, rather than leaving...

Re: RFL want names/ Newton tells his story...
<t>You could possibly see there being some truth in the notion the use of HGH being rife if the rl playing community (and other sports) believe that it cannot be detected. If the drug could significantly boost your performance on the pitch with a percieved 'no risk' of being caught, then it must be ...

Re: General Election
<t>I voted for an independent in the Makerfield constituency who posted a leaflet through my door that I found interesting. Was toying with voting Tory (can't do any worse than Labour imo), but all 3 major party candidates live (and i presume originate from) nowhere near the Wigan area- Lib Dem = Li...

Re: Wigan Warriors v Harlquins
<t>Cheers cpwigan- I avoided criticising any post particularly as there was plenty I disgreed with over a number of posts, not just yours. However, if you care to forward me your r.l. cv I will pass it on to the club as you are obviously better than MM who must have thought Walker and Ainscough shou...

Re: booing fans
<t>Maybe, just maybe, they didn't hear the announcement and thought the reflective/rememberance period was over after the bugle and made an innocent mistake. After all, silence was resumed after about 20 seconds, and generally minutes silences are well respected at home games.<br/> <br/> I guess the...
