Wigan Athletic
Just over a week has passed since our great victory at Stoke but i've been thinking about how great our achievements actually are...
For a club and town our size to stay in one,if the not the most competitive league in the world for seven years stands aside achievements like Barca winning the champions league on Saturday.
Small town,relatively small resources but consistantly through guile,passion and determination punching above our weight.
Well done to Wigan Athletic for finally putting my small town on the world map.The people of Wigan salute you.

Not being a follower of football myself not really bothered but if we have a team in the premier league lets hope they shape better next season and not be propping the bottom of the league up all season

A club that has been in the premiership for Six seasons should be big enough to have its own discussion site. I spend a lot of time on Wigan Rugby fans forum so I try to spend time on here discussing things other than sport. Why not approach the club and ask Uncle Dave if he can spare a few shillings from the Forty Odd Million he gets from the Prem to open a site for the few Latics fans who come on here so that you can chat amongst yourselves without disturbing the majority of Wigan World

Wiganer.net
Vital Wigan
Cockney Latic
Mudhuts
Plenty of them but this is a site about Wigan and Wigan Athletic are our most famous export to the world.
You seem to be hurting Rita.
Nevermind son,you can still go on RL forums and moan about the Latics.Seeing as WiganRL don't care much about the Latics,there always seems plenty of threads on there trying to belittle them.
Thank god the Latics fans display some dignity and rise above the petty digs.

For the record i don't think you are either.

Jade I simply go on Cherry & White because it is about Wigan Rugby, minor irritants such as Latics are very rarely mentioned. In fact the only times the Latics get a mention is by young posters who think it's great having two top sporting teams in Wigan. One of the reasons I stopped going to Latics games was the constant moronic renditions of "WE ONLY HATE WIGAN RUGBY" I've never heard an anti Latics chant at the Rugby, simply because the fans have nothing to be jealous of

what a load of boll*** never liked rugby never followed rugby but untill I came on this site its so anti tics I got so narked I feel I Ihave to have my say
Replied: 30th May 2011 at 17:13
Mmmmmm Rita let me go and have a look and see if your argument stands up to scrutiny...
'i wouldnt waste my breath congratulating them! because they wouldnt do it for us! the abuse i got yesterday for pointing out that wigan is a rugby team! rugby was around long before football & will stay around long after its gone! but according to people i spoke to yesterday, rugby is only recognised in yorkshire, lancashire and australia! no one else has ever heard of wigan warriors, the only time youll see a warriors shirt abroad is if a wiganer is on holiday! and the best one of all! we rent their ground and wreck their pitch! so they wont be getting a pat on the back from me anytime soon '
This one below has the eyesight of superman!
'I made the mistake of driving through king street last night to pick the Mrs up from work in Springfield and they were all out side singing 'we are staying up' they wouldnt let any cars past for about 10 minutes and kept banging them all. No joke I saw about 3 lads with Man United tattoos on their arms singing as if they were die hard latics fans '
'Im willing to bet anybody any amount of money that in October, you could walk into any pub in Wigan town centre and it would contain a large amount of Latics fans all shouting for Saints, iv seen it myself and I personally know loads of Latics fans that absoulutely cannot stand the rugby, it stems from a deep hatred and jealousy built up over years of rugby dominance in the town and now they are Charlie big times in the premiership they think they are top dogs and we are "beneath them" thats just how it is. Iv got no time for them at all, I understand that they have a minority that HAVE supported them through thick and thin but the majority of there following is made up of people that cant get tickets for Liverpool/United/Everton so choose to go and watch them, as iv said before, a pathetic little club with an idiotic attitude towards the rugby. Iv actually stood in the North stand watching Liverpool at the DW and heard them singing "if you hate Wigan rugby clap your hands"
Congratulate them......................no thanks, I cant wait to see them rot in the lower divisions and slowly get plunged into administration'
When will Rita stop lying.
Replied: 30th May 2011 at 17:21

I´ve followed Wigan rugby since my dad was seeing me into the henpen at Central Park in the early 60s. I followed Latics from Northern Prem days of early 70´s.
I just can´t get my head around anyone who claims to be a Wiganer but doesn´t support WIGAN. I´m not a great football fan but I will support a Wigan side at football above any other...or at netball, or at tennis, or cards even.
There are better sides at most sports (except rugby) but get your priorities right..WIGAN IS FOR WIGANERS
