Well said Kooch...we have had enough people sniggering at us over the years without doing it to each other...If you don't want to cheer the Latics that's fine but we do thank you very much.. :eusa15:KOOCH wrote:I left Wigan at the age of sixteen and am now 61.But I have always had Wigan in my heart.My true passion is WRLFC but I am proud as punch whenever anyone or anything is mentioned from Wigan. And I was as proud as punch that the Latics deservedly won the FA cup.Bloody well done Latics. From what I saw it seemed as though you where the favorite's and not the underdogs. The best team won and that was the Latics. And I wish that people would stop being so damned churlish and remember that for a small town in Lancashire we certainly let the world know who we are. And that through sport.Be it rugby league or football we will always give our best because we are Wigan. Well done Wigan Athletic. :eusa2: :eusa2:
Good Luck Latics!

Greeting signs saying Home of the FA Cup winners & CC Winners would be fantastic.

Unlikely though. They'll all have to be replaced next year. Unless they specify 2013 on the signs?cpwigan wrote:Greeting signs saying Home of the FA Cup winners & CC Winners would be fantastic.

What a smashing day!
Good coach driver, good seats, good atmosphere, good game, good supporters, good result, good home journey.
Downside.
£4.70p for half a pint of Budwiser in the stadium
£10.00 a programme.
'Latics did the town of Wigan proud though. I concur with the comments regards the signs as you drive back into town, it does make you feel chuffed.
Will be back down London next week for the London Bronco's game, got match tickets, overnight stay at the St. Giles, Witherspoons 200 yards away - bring it on!

Re: Good Luck Latics!
The signs should simply say, Home of Super League Rugby League and Premier League Football.
That way they only need to be changed if a club changes Division and not every time a club win's a trophy otherwise in the case of Wigan, the signs would have to altered on regular basis and incur too much cost.

Re: Good Luck Latics!
The one I saw on the East Lancs this morning said, Wigan Home of 2013 FA Cup Winners
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

"One off" signs being put up at a time that the Council are telling you that cut backs of up to £80 million have to be made, Council Employee's are losing their jobs, Libraries and Day Centre's being closed etc, etc.josie andrews wrote:The one I saw on the East Lancs this morning said, Wigan Home of 2013 FA Cup Winners
Will the Councillor's, especially Latic's supporters like Molyneux and Ready be paying for the sign's out of their lucrative expenses.
The answer is NO!
