We can all come up with examples of idiots..
I was stood in Hindley Labour Club and overheard 2 rugby lads ( both in their 60’s and good lads BTW ) saying they wished Whelan would drop dead. When challenged about this they said they were joking.
Now this didn’t stop me watching MY home town rugby team it was the continuous sniping at the Latics team and fans that did it for me.
I never missed a Wigan Cup Final between 1970 ( Cas ) and upto and including Murreyfield and it hurts not going but I ain’t anymore.
