The rugby play at home Friday night is what he was on about and the weather forecast is pi$$ing down so them fork men have there work cut out
Mutty reckons its Friday neet. He said something about when the teams come out on Friday!Yes. Get yourself down on Friday. Kick-offs 8pm.
The rugby play at home Friday night is what he was on about and the weather forecast is pi$$ing down so them fork men have there work cut outNot really. Its almost a week until Wigan play Leeds.
Oh the eggs play on Friday. Who do they beat this week? What uncompetitive Yorks/Lancs comp is this one in? Think I might go. Where do you get the free tickets? What songs do we do? Rugger,Rugger, Rah,Rah,Rah.

Are the bars open?When do we vote for this year’s Dullest Poster? This fella must be in the running
I’d say your neck and neck Griff ;)That took about 55 minutes longer than I expected for someone to bite. ;)
Everybody knows my views on the klumps so I have no need to vent my spleen further other than to say I turned my back on the pitch when they came out, I didn’t applaud, and only turned back to face the pitch when I was informed they had left the pitch.I am not arsed whether people think it was petty as I don’t care a shoite about WRL or their fans or indeed our own fans who like or watch them as well.
It was just my way of showing my views without making an arse of my self. It wasn’t high profile granted and perhaps no-one else noticed, but I did it and I personally made my point quietly.Their all conquering achievements over the years are commendable and fair play to them but this cannot be compared to Latics achievements in the FA Cup.
The stature of the FA Cup is somewhat greater than the RL Challenge Cup, and winning the RL Cup is a kin to Man Utd winning the FA Challenge Trophy.One last thing, and this is not having a go at anyone as I generally don’t know, but did the Latics parade the FA Cup around the DW Stadium at half time at their game after our FA Cup victory.
If so was the reception as good for the Latics as it was for them?They didn’t parade the cup no as Mutty said there wasn’t much point. If Owen Coyle allows there to be a representative there on Friday then I imagine they will do so then because the ambition from Whelan was to hold both and not just the one. (he may just bring it out himself alongside Ian Lenagan) Scott Carson is a Wigan fan and Owen Coyle has mentioned his desire to watch a few RL games so they may appear.
You’re quite right in that you can’t compare the two in terms of Worldwide prestige and I don’t think anyone ever would, but the Challenge Cup is the major knockout cup competition in the sport and so is nothing like Man Utd winning the FA Challenge Trophy. That would be akin to Wigan winning the National Conference Cup.
I wonder if it was ever suggested that the two trophies won at Wembley by the town’s football and rugby clubs back in 1985 should be paraded at each ground?

And I think we both know which of the two would have been most against it.
We know exactly who would have been most against it. Strange because the Freight Rover Trophy is of an high calibre trophy to win. Latics achievment against Brentfordsnd the effort shown to reach the final alone should have been shown that respect that we are now being asked to show to the Cuckoos in their achievment in winning such an un-competitive cup.
