Latics

Now that they've gone back to league 1, I can't decide if that's good, bad or of little consequence to us. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated but please remember that the people who are fans of both teams will be suffering.

Hopefully it is the beginning of a journey back to Springfield Park.

I'm not a soccer fan at all However I find your enquiry interesting. I can't help with whether it's good,bad or indifferent in relation to Wigan RLFC but like yourself I'd be interested in what others have to sayCheers

I see it as a sad day for sport in wigan. Being a born and bred wigganer I want everything to do with my home town to do well. Not many towns can brag of having challenge cup and fa cup winners. I do go watch latics occasionally . And feel for the true latics fans.

At one time I'd have celebrated Latics going down, but now it doesn't mean much to me.

The only measure I'd have for deciding one way or the other is "What is our chance of getting our own ground?" and does this affect it in any way.

In general terms, my interest in soccer has never been strong. It peaked around the time of Colin Bell and Mike Summerbee at City and Best, Charlton and Law at United, even then a very distant second to rugby.
Nowadays, until refs start to penalise players for diving and rolling round on the floor, I won't even watch it for 2 minutes. The obscene money they earn, even at Latics' level, is also a turn off.

The one person I can think of who I have any respect for is Marcus Rashford for his humility and caring about kids from a background like his in "Wivvenshaw".

I’m with you mate.

Feel sorry for the players if they are relegated due to them having 3 points deducted for the owners not paying the wages on time. Talk about a double whammy!

Sorry to say as a Manchester United fan and someone who is fairly well connected inside the club, the whole 'humility and caring' thing with Rashford is just fantastic marketing and pr by people behind the scenes
