On BBC text it said Tics took a large following, 78 went to London hardly a large following more like a trickle 1 and 1/2 coaches at the most

If Wigan RL travelled to London and beyond 6 times a year (chelsea, fulham, arsenal, spurs, portsmouth and West Ham)* with each ticket over £20 - i'd love to see theb numbers that went

*add to that the fact that the local games all cost around £40 a ticket.

So childish, but dammit you just can't resist after all the $h!t we got from them in 2006 when they were doing quite well.

They have removed the 'L' from ROFL as unacceptable

Damn right! You can roll on the floor all you like, just don't start laughing

To be fair quite a few Wiganers fly to Perpignan. More than 78 anyroad

Good point, don't know why people mock them for their support. Yeah its the biggest sport in the world, the biggest league, has 10 million times more exposure than RL but they are only Wiganers at the end of the day, the fans aren't any richer. We only have Celtic and Quins that are that distance. Actually Perpignan itself prob cost the equivalent of 4 prem games, so perhaps the comparison is even!

To change the subject just thought I'd share a top bit of abuse I've only just noticed from ages ago.

In response to one of my match reports....

A little baby sperm aged 14 he was. Signed up left four abusive posts in 4 minutes and has never returned since.

I take issue with this on two fronts.

Firstly - that they are Wiganers at all.

Secondly - that even if they are Wiganers, this is some kind of excuse not to attend matches. In general, I doubt that Wiganers are poorer than the fans of most other Premiership clubs, given that the majority of them are located in inner city areas.
