        Quite a few in Berkley watching the Wales game when I went in. Showing every game in there apparently.

        Ps – Everybody knows there are more football fans in Wigan than rugby fans they just support the likes of Liverpool, Utd, City and Everton.

            Difficult to have a World Cup. 3 proper teams and the rest really do make up the numbers :unsure:

            Can’t be that big or it would be on Sky :woohoo:

            The pitch looked awful at Cardiff…the press would have had a field day if the DW pitch looked like that :angry:

            The Mrs got us tickets for the final at OT…we’ll be supporting New Zealand against the Convicts :lol:

            Been waiting for this post to crop up. Everyone posting to tell everyone else that they wont be watching. Cracker.

            Hate to burst your bubble Leyland but Spain, Germany, Argentina and Brazil in the football world cup. The rest really are there just to make up the numbers.

            It’s not big because its on Sky. Is that the bench mark, You have made it when you are on sky. Could the BBC not just have wanted it more and paid more to get it?

            Oh because he was from Wigan he automatically had to be a rugby fan. Your from Wigan and you dont like rugby (as you tell everyone every day) why should he be any different.

              a bit like most top football league teams in the world then.

              In some cases only two teams compete for top spot.

              Maybe it was something to do with every TV set in the land being able to receive BBC, and folk didnt have to venture to a pub to watch it on sky or some dodgy foreign stream.

              I’d have thought you should really be more concerned about your side’s alarming position in the 2nd tier and their inability to sell out of tickets when its a fiver.

                    Will be keeping an eye on Scotland, only because I know their manager and he and his family are big Latics fans

                      Certainly are. He used to change the training times at Whitehaven depending on who Latics played.

                      Top bloke as well.
