Just found out why there was only 4,677 fans on the LSV tonight to watch the mighty warriors fall.
There are in the region of 3000 people with Norweb tops on, sat on battery dead mobility scooters half way along Atherleigh way. :woohoo:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!That’s not bad considering they’re one of the worlds top clubs and it was a massive journey to Leigh on a Friday night.
The turnout was small because it is a 2-bus journey to Leigh from Wigan apparently, so too difficult to get to.
You really couldn’t make it up.
Said before the game we would be lucky if there is 5k on. I’ve literally just got back now. That second bus was late
Looks like they’ve found their natural home. Perhaps we might allow them to use the DW when they play St Helens. :cheer:

What a journey!It could be worse. We could’ve trudged off a sports field having been deemed not good enough to stay in that division twice in the space of 24 months, facing a mass exodus of playing staff without having a youth system in place to replace them. We could have had as many first team coaches as home wins in an entire season. We could be looking at having row upon row of seats closed off because there is nobody to sit on them any more. We could have a chairman who’s only other business venture was a failed chip shop. We could have an owner who hired a head coach that no other club would touch with the shittiest stick going.
On the face of it, elimination from the Challenge Cup is disappointing, but its not half as bad as being a Latics fan.

Think somebody’s had a nerve touched, haven’t they?
Don’t be knob! The Warrior are not even a big fish in the world’s smallest sporting pond anymore.
You can come on here as much as you want to claim that the rugby is bigger than Latics but the reality is that, even in the 3rd tier of English football, week in week out, home and away, Latics will still be a better supported club.
I know it, everyone one here knows it, neutrals know it and so do you if you could only stop yourself spouting the bullshit for five minutes and admit it.
Oh, and this is coming from someone who supports both Wigan teams.
Of course it could have been worse.
We might not have had eight seasons watching many of undeniably the most famous sporting stars in the world play our little team in our stadium. And on occasion seen our little team beat them.
We might not have won probably the most famous sporting trophy in the world – in a game which was watched by an estimated half-a-billion people around the world
(source: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/398586/More-than-half-a-billion-people-will-watch-FA-Cup-final)We might never have played away games in Belgium, Russia and Slovenia.
We might not have the realisation that we can actually work our way back to seeing those world superstars again in just a few seasons – rather than be at the top of our sport now and drawing less than 5,000 to a game played 5 miles away from our normal home stadium.
We could play a sport that is not plastered over every newspaper and TV channel.

Yeah, but Wigan is a rugby town.
Biggest myth in sporting history there is more people in the town of wigan who watch and support football than rugby league and that is a fact
