whats the point

erm because you support them, and you must relise we cant afford to keep hold of our best players with the crowds we get in, but if we have supporters like you thinking of jumping ship when we are in the top flight, well you have answered your question, We need to build our support to have any chance of keeping our players, for example if you was a player would you rather run out in front of 38000 home fans or 12000 :think: by the the way the rugby have always won things esp in the 90s and when we were in lower half of the leagues selling players as well, so nothing as really changed for latics supporters.

It depends what you want to watch really, if you like rugby u will watch rugby, if you like football you will go to the dw knowing you are going to see some world class internationals, and maybe your small club will ruffle some feathers along the way, We as wigan supporters have to be realistic, I dont expect us to win any silverware but i do expect us to compete, but you just never know what might happen, for example 20 years ago i didnt expect us to be in the top flight and be in a 25000 seater stadium. ;)

Va’aiga Tuigamala, Andrew Farrell, Jason Robinson, Chris Ashton are 4 that left for bigger and better things and if you care to search there are a whole host of others.

the other thing with the worriers and thugby league in general, it is only a minority sport that draws its players from a minute geographical area, many of wigans players are home grown and this limits the level of talent and therefore the big clubs in australia or in rugby union have already got better players so dont need to poach players off them.
