| Before any Wigan supporter of today starts crowing about having a great fan base and the club will never descend to the level of Bradford Bulls, they should remember what happen to the club in the mid seventies when crowds slumped to as low as two/three thousand and the club was relegated.
Especially when today, there are far more alternative attractions at weekends and the sporting scene is dominated by Football, Rugby Union and Sky Sports on television.
Today, it is all about success and winning trophies and if you do not do that Wigan is no different than clubs like Bradford Bulls, Huddersfield Giants, Halifax, Widnes Vikings etc.
A few seasons ago, even Leeds slumped to all time low for crowds which was far worse than what they have experienced over the last two/three seasons.
No Wigan supported should take the arrogant or blazy attitude that the fan base would remain if club suffered the same fate as Bradford Bulls.
We have been fortunate since the bad days of the seventies in having owners with money who have maintained success at the club and hopefully it will remain so in the future.

none but we've still produced some talent through it, do they only count if theyve won a title?

Nope but it’s usually a good guideline to the quality being produced

Agreed on the first bit but don't blacken all the Wigan posters on here. Most are very polite to posters from other clubs and don't gloat about their success unless provoked.

I agree it's cocky and arrogant but are you seriously saying that a Saints or Leeds fan couldn't have written similar. I don't mean all Saints or Leeds fans, of course, but are you saying neither of those clubs have a single fan capable of writing this kind of post? Really?
I suggest you take a wander over to RedVee and see some of the filth written there (and I'm using the word 'filth' after due consideration). There are some decent posters who will occasionally attempt to police it but nowhere near enough from what are obviously intelligent and rational people. They need to be far more intolerant of some of the disgraceful and disgusting things written there. Anyone with any morals should be ashamed of swimming in the same cesspit to be honest. The post you are commenting on is tame by comparison.
