My lad wants me to take him to a rugby league game to see whats its like. I know for a fact he isn’t going to like it, but better to take him rather him trying to rebel. He is a Latics season ticket hiolder and I know he would never give up this great great club….
anyhow, as I know bugger all about Rugby League, where should I take him?
St. Helens or Warrington?
[getting prepared to get a load of stick for this :( ]

Jimmy, he will like it. It’s a good sport – just because a load of football fans from Wigan think it’s not doesn’t mean it is so.
And seriously, you have to take him to watch Wigan, assuming you are both Wiganers. :?
I will possibly take a load of stick for this too, but who gives a flyer?
Griff, I have a lot of time for you for the stuff you post on here but suggesting I take him to watch that cherry and shite is obserd.
I wouldn’t give those bastards the steam of my shit, nevermind giving them money to sit next to a load of hagged old fat women and chubby soap dodgers shouting “wigin wigin” – I will never forget supporting the latics in the 80’s and listening to the rugby shat that used to come out of their fat mouths!
There are two teams in Wigan, Wigan Athletic and Wigan Athletic reserves.
and you try telling that to some of the chubby folk, especially a guy near me who has a fatties sticker and a Man U sticker in his car…..makes my blood boil but maybe thats the way it is.
….and anyway, I like to watch a match until its end so wouldn’t enjoy their “wigin walk”
…rant over.

:DI’m afraid you’d get the soap dodgers and fatties at Saints and Warrington too.
Don’t get me wrong, I detest the attitude of the majority of their fans (including some of my own family members :shock: ) and board over the years, but – and I won’t ever apologise for this – Wigan is my town, they are therefore my rugby team, and I will support them before I would support Leigh, St Helens, Warrington or anyone else.
Yeah, I second what Griff says. If you are from Wigan, it has to be Wigan.
I actually went to 3 or 4 games at Central Park. The first was back in 1987, when they played Manly in the World Club Final. Mainly due to the media build up of it, and me nagging my dad. (Rugby ‘JCL’ eh?) :lol:
Make no mistake, the place was absolutely packed to the rafters that night. 37,000 I think. I was with my dad, and we were right at the top on the corner. I remember that we had to park near the Cherry Gardens, and that I never saw a thing, not a point scored, due to six-footers being stood on crates in front of us!
A few years later, mid 90’s, and I went to a few games with a college mate, a few of us lot from Skem went, really to see what the attraction was. Perhaps it was because we were from Skem, but we couldn’t get into it. The best thing was you could have a pint where you stood. And with it being in centre of town, you could go out straight afterwards, which was handy, as there was a few lads and a few girls amongst us. I can recall we left well before the end, more than once. I just didn’t get it. Compared to Football, it just did not have the ‘fluid’ excitement, like the ball can be from one end to the other in a few seconds.I suppose growing up in Wigan, it’s different, with being brought up with it in the background, and heavily played in schools. Never saw a rugby pitch in Skem, as a kid. Still don’t think there is.
Incidentally, Jimmy, my mate who I sit with, watches BOTH. has done for years.
I think we’d get more to our games if we had a joint season ticket deal. Let the kids decide when given the choice. If the lad is living in Wigan then don’t send him to Saints or Leigh. If not Wigan then Warrington are supposed to be good – they won their cup final last year.
After speaking with a guy I work with who I didn’t even know was a rugby fan, I will be going with him to support the Warrington Wolves this Saturday…and it’s against out very own chubbies – quite fitting I think!
You can actually drink in the stands watching the game….quite appealing :D
I will let you know my findings..
Warrington on Saturday and The mighty latics on the Sunday….a good sporting weekend..
Come on you Warrington people thingy’s and the mighty Latics!
You can actually drink in the stands watching the game….quite appealing :DYou can do that at the DW, for the rugby. They are far more civilised than us, don’t you know
Should off took him watching St judes or somthing would of been cheaper :mrgreen:
If i was you, id actually sit in the East on the half way line watching the rugby from the south basically its turd!…. its turd anyway but you may aswell make the most of it haha. I went a couple of weeks ago and the songs, if possible are actually worse than the latics songs…… but if i was you, id be a bastard and make it the worse match of your sons life so you wont have to take him again.
