then that must mean all wiganers are mancs (being in the geographical area of greater manchester

No, our postal addresses finish, correctly, in "Lancashire".
Cheer up and get that chip off your shoulder you humourless scouse get.

i think we all know the story behind the 'pie eaters' an the lancashire telegraph headline 'wiganers made to eat humble pie'

But wiganers cannot complain about anybody calling them pie eaters. you must remember the wembley cup finals in 1984 and 85 where every wigan banner had a picture of a pie on it, and banners like 'never mind the pies, how about some tries' and all the jokes about wigan wedding cakes aswell. wiganers have embraced that nickname and turned it around. i think the offensive part of that name dies a very long time ago. after all we are talking about the strike in 1929

No-one is complaining about it. Read my post. So you're telling me the other fans call us that as a term of endearment then? It is meant as a wind-up (just like Goons). Look at any of PNB's posts where he always refers to the JJB as the Pie-Dome because he thinks it winds us up. I'm just saying that we can take it as well as dish it out. PNB comes on here bleating, yet has never posted a positive statemrent about Wigan (unlike yourself) and is quite happy to have a go. I think I am entitled to give him some back if I so choose.

Exactly what im saying in the last post. Seems some are hypocritse and when they get some back they sulk.

BTW I think you'll find few people outside of Wigan (or indeed inside it) know of the origins of Pie-eaters. Most people think it is because we have a lot of pie shops or eat a lot of pies!?! I sort of suspect that PNB falls into this latter group!

Cmon stop giving people from Warrington history lessons. They have no history there. :sly:
