    I don’t know about you but this Warriors/Latics bashing is getting a little bit hackneyed now!

    If you’d been around Wigan in the 80s you’d know why it exists Phil.

    Latics fans were openly laughed at.

      Johnny I am thoroughly aware of what went on, don’t forget our Jeff has been going on since 82 but it’s just going round in circles! Neither set of fans are going to back down!

        Not just the 80s Jonny. I know from personal experience this ridicule was going on for at least two decades previously.

          It isn’t a case of backing down.
          Whenever this issue arises, and I doubt it will ever go away in my lifetime, I will continue to correct those who distort the facts and refuse to accept that WRLFC had no input in the planning and building of the stadium and that they were thrown a lifeline by Whelan when they sold their own ground and ended up homeless.

          I know Jeff has been a fan since the 80s, but I meant in the schools, with mates, even members of your family!

          Latics fans were there to be laughed at.

          I don’t mind the sport of Rugby League (it’s some of the supporters I can’t abide) and played it for the school team on the back of playing Union at weekends. But I remember some of my Latics supporting mates being banished onto the school yard with a tennis ball during games lessons and told to go and play football with the rest of the puffs.

          And I also remember the absolute torrent of abuse I only got from a packed Gray’s chippy for being overheard saying something about a Latics match to one of mates!
