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.
And yet you still feel the need to come on here and harangue us.
You're clearly very insecure about Latics, and you've good reason to be. What you got last season was only a taste of what's ahead. You're a tiny club punching way above it's financial weight.
Nominally you're still in the Premiership, but by their standards, your support is abysmal. You even had to lie about your crowds for as crucial a match as the one you played against West Ham.
It doesn't take a clairvoyant to predict that in a few years time, we'll still be here and you'll be long gone (you personally will probably be gone the moment your team drops to the Championship - sorry, but you're that kind of guy).

In the thread on attendances you will see that the maximum that any team can bring is 5,100, tet Latics regularly average 20,000. So your sums simply don't add up. Against Chelsea, there were 23,500 on, with the 3,500 being Chelsea fans.
Anyway, where would Warriors be without the 5,000 Saints fans that swell your one decent crowd of the seaosn?

As for me being some kind of one season wonder, I've been going since 1980 (Division 4). Around that time, Wigan RL, as was, were relegated to Division 2 and averaged 4,700 to fourth-division Latics' 6,701. Acient and Loyal, eh?

Oh, one more thing before you ban me: how come none of you have what's known in the trade as a sense of humour?
"In the trade"? Are you trying to claim you're a comedian now as well as an expert on football?
Sorry bud, it doesn't show (in either case).

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?
