Jesus wept, do you all live in goldfish bowls or something? Truth is, rugby is and always has been number one sport in this town and is in temporary recess during our sojourn in the big league, like it or not.
The size and attitude of the crowd the other night reinforced that opinion. I don’t have a great amount of time for Dave Whelan, his views, his business ethics or his bulls**t but at least he can see reality and outside of the goldfish bowl when he states facts like ‘Wigan is a rugby town’, unlike your average ‘hardcore’ Latics fan and God forbid, there ain’t many true ones left.
Wigan Athletic’s existence in the big league is fragile. Top level Rugby League, minority sport that it is, has been in the town a century.
Facts are facts. Sheep.
