I always thought that when people stated that most of the thugby fans are from out of town a bit of a myth .
No longer the case what I witnessed today dropping a relative off at the train station at 5:10 toneet all platforms were swamped with the sods heading for Prston and the North and heading Warrington and the South also a shed full on the scouse express as well are their any from Wigan 8-)
I had to go to Lancaster today about 2-ish and headed up to the M6 through Shevy and it was backed up all the way back to the motorway. When I’ve had a pint after work in Liverpool on a Friday there’s always 2 mile queues coming off the M58 and it was the same a few years ago when I worked in Warrington coming through Marus Bridge.
Very few rugby fans come from Wigan, they come from everywhere but and they reach out ( with cheapo tickets ) to middle class Lancashire & cheshire families who want to see some working class idiots rough each other up in tight costumes
It’s the only way they’ve been able to save face as thousands more go watching football in the town by dragging in 40% of their support from elsewhere. Clever I’ll give them that ;)
Or maybe it was because Wigan was hosting a Community Rugby Festival where teams from all over North-West England were attending.

But lets not let the truth get in the way.
What was the score by the way?
Some festival, attended by 14,047, so how many wigan fans turned up mutty and how many out of towners turned up for the festival? :shock:
Puzzle’s me how they can maintain a first team squad of 34 players,
under the present “salary cap”. :oThere not cheating again are they :oops:
:lol: :lol: :lol:What was the score by the way?38-22 to Wigan, meaning they are still 4 points clear at the top of the league.
Thanks for your interest though fellas. :D

You just answered your own question, so how do you get “Thanks for your interest though fellas.”Deluded…

What was the score by the way?Thanks for the link but it doesn’t really explain, the community event took place before the game. So why where all these people coming in from out of town at past 2 o’clock, less than an hour before kick off??
And why are the roads into Wigan full of out of towners jammed before every Friday night game when there isn’t a community rugby event on?
What was the score by the way?In a franchised sport where there is no relegation and the champion can be a team who can finish as low as eighth in the table, does the score even matter?
Another myth, they say its a rugby town but looking at all the flags hanging out of windows, I would disagree, cant see the same happening for a rugby world cup, :o
