Who is the most? out of interest

Rangers FC I believe.

Some fantastic responses on the thread by the way

This sums it up for me really. Today I stayed back after College to attend a late session and the tutor somehow got onto talking about clothing. He looked at my t-shirt and said "...a rugby top, red and white, Wigan Warriors" and without even thinking about it I had a massive pride filled smile on my face.

I am incredibly proud of the club and to be a fan fills me with pride.

Get out?

It would be like Wigan and St Helens playing in NWC division 6 for 100 years.

Unfortunately thats the case.

Scottish Championship.
Scottish Cup
Scottish League Cup

Plenty chances of silverwear when there has only been 2 teams in it for decades.

No chance. Always wondered how Celtic & Rangers would do week in week out in the Prem.

Probably about midway, i'd suggest.

Depends on what sort of money they could bring in I suppose, I'd say bottom half starting off as they wouldn't be used to the pace week in week out. Don't think it's ever going to happen though which is a great shame IMO regardless of what people think of the sectarianism between the 2 clubs.


Anyway, getting back on topic. I love how wherever I go if I have my Wigan shirt on it is always noticed, whether it be in England or abroad there is always someone who will know our famous club. I love the build up to match days, seeing the same faces you know who are going to be there every week regardless of how we are doing. I've also met some pretty good people and had some very enjoyable trips that I never would of imagined happening when I first started watching Wigan. I count myself extremely lucky and proud when anyone asks me who I support, not just because of our history and success but because we are what our badge says. Well, Loyal anyway

Its impossible to pick any one thing, they are just Wigan RL, a massive part of my everyday life, all week is spent looking forward to the game, then it arrives and come hell or highwater no matter how we play, that starts all over again as soon as the game is done.

I also love the passion of our fans - Which is displayed nowhere better than on here with the amount of arguing we do with each other.

Anyway.. I love how everyone outside of Wigan hates us which makes us love the club even more.

this great club is like family

some days you love it
others you wish you had never met it

but mostly its always there when you have bad times and good.

through wigan and rugby in general i have met some fantastic people and have introduced friends ( who like me thought football was a great game) to the beautiful truely family game of RUGBY LEAGUE.
