I don't know why Wigan Athletic supporters expect us to cheer on their team and vice-versa... why suddenly cheer a wigan premiership team when for the last decade hardly no-one bothered to turn up to their own matches? To me, just because it is 'Wigan' doesnt mean we have to support it, jump on a bandwagon now we're Athletic are in the Premiership, I have other interests in sport.
For one, I support Wigan Warriors - Rugby League, totally different. I travel home and away and always will do so (probably). I was brought up watching Rugby League in Wigan so why bother with a wigan football team?
Second, I am a huge Arsenal fan, since probably 1989 when I remember my first match on telly, involving Arsenal. I will only be interested going to the JJB to watch football when Arsenal are playing, like last season i went twice (league + carling cup) to cheer on the gooners in the East stand (cant get arsenal tickets)... I went to Highbury in the second leg and sat in the Arsenal side for the first (and last) time and was the unhappiest Wiganer at Highbury that night! I only have room for Arsenal (and maybe Bolton as they are 1 mile away).
People have different allegiances in football compared to rugby. Most wiganers support Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea (bandwagon) etc... like myself, an Arsenal fan - not arsed about Athletic and NEVER will be.
So i dont see the point when people moan and compare fans at the JJB, two different sports.
Brilliant Post It Backs Up your Name and Wigans Motto ANCIENT AND LOYAL! Isn`t that us Loyal? If it is Shall are Fans Stick to warriors or Just Switch because We dont look To be showing Loyalty im with You A and L I hate The L****s and i wouldnt dream of Doing anything to help the club unless it involves the JJB
It's not a case of people abandoning the rugby to watch the Latics, people are allowed to watch both if they want. Me, you couldn't pay me to go a game of football, but that doesn't mean that just because someone supports one thing that they can't also like something else. It doesn't make you disloyal to either team.
The offer was for Warriors season ticket holders, people who have already demonstrated their loyalty by paying for their tickets upfront. I can't see any of them being so influenced by one game of rugby that they'll abandon that to watch soccer fulltime instead.
I will happily join you in not liking the Latics, but I think these "we hate the Latics, people who go and watch them are traitors" or whatever type messages are pretty ridiculous, and just the kind of thing everyone complains about when the Latics fans start coming on here saying the same things in reverse. I just ignore the wendyballers and their sport, the same way that I ignore boxing, golf, horse racing and many other sports that I have no interest in.
Am i allowed an Opinion??????????

Nice to show you have the ability to form an intelligent argument.
What you are saying is that by suporting your local football team, you are being disloyal to the Warriors.
I've read some twaddle on this board before now (ref WNAC), but this is priceless
