How can you possibly call yourselves the number one team in Wigan. Your average crowd last season was 14,464, that's 6,000 less than the Latics!
Latics sold more season tickets, more replica shirts, took up more column inches in the local and national newspapers. You are, I'm afraid, living in the past.
Yesterday's news about Paul Jewell made the front pages in Britain's national newspapers. Sunday's brave performance against Sheffield United was reported everywhere from Adelaide to Zanzibar and screened live in 12 countries.
Your club is of relevance only to people living in the M62 corridor, a town in southern France, New South Wales and Queensland. Medium-sided fish in a small pond.
How can you compare attendences when we are 2 completely different sports Latics are supposed to be in an elite league how many times last year was the JJB not filled.Yes you get media coverage because the media pays alot for it Sky Sports is run by Richard Murdoch who owns newspapers .
Yes we are a minority sport but Wigan Rl is known all over the world for the success that we have had who have heard of Wigan Athletic before you got into the Premier League .
Paul Jewell was a stressed out man you only had to watch him on Sunday compare him with cool Brian Noble.

Someone called into question my loyalty.
So I call into question the loyalty of those who deserted Wigan in droves the second they got relegated. 4,700, eh? What would the Aussies ake of that?
Same goes to you when you were in 4th division or what ever you were in where were all your fans then?
