You should be lucky that your allowed an alternative viewpoint something the suppoerters of the tics are not on chubbie.com.
And I cant understand why an exiled Wiganer who in the past admitted supporting the tics as now switched is allegience to a North Eastern club surely it is you that as the chip
To be fair mutty I find it all a bit tedious now, there is not going to be harmony between fans, especially when we can’t have our say on C&W to defend or put a point across about our team.
There was over 2000 links through from C&W last month alone, which means there are links on there to here – a lot of them.
But the basic facts are that we were the underclass citizens, not fit to burn 10 years ago and back. Now we are recognised the (real) world over, the rugby fans can’t handle it and their bloody mindedness, when we were having the success and moving up the leagues, by ignoring us as if we didn’t exist and still berating us ruined any chance of any good feeling between the two sets of fans.
Had there been a bit of tolerance when we having the good times, things could have been different, not with the old fans as that aint goinmg to change, but the new fans would have grown up as tolerating each other rather than at each other’s throats.
The moderation is definately over zealous on C&W and until that changes it shows that the Rugby are still stuck in their ‘We are better than you” frame of mind, until it changes the future between the fans will stay the same… small steps, not no steps.
I personally don’t give a flying as to hate something you have to have feelings for that something, and I for one have none. Don’t like the sport never have, especially when dragged there by family in the late 70’s, early 80’s. I hate what they did to us in the 80’s (Club, board, press and fans) but as for Warriors, I don’t care about them and hence why I allow any rugby related stuff on here.
We can more than compete against and have answers for anything the Rugby fans can bring up and that shows because of the amount of people coming over from C&W and are registered on here, but only three of you actually post anything. The others prefer to run back to safety and poost drivel on there where we can’t post our view or defend ourselves.
Enjoy your luxury of freedom of speech mutty, as the honour is not resiprocated…… and there lies the fundamental problems, the rugby still believe they are the only team in town…
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
“Above all, you dont like them because they are your rivals. Because the supporters of other football clubs see you as an insignificance”.
How can we be an insignificance if other teams get 3 points for beating us or lose 3 points for losing. Do you think City won’t want 3 points tonight? Did Burnley let us win on purpose?
I take your point but apart from the points every other club team is insignificant to me anyway. Only the England team matters a solitary jot I don’t care about Utd, Liverpool etc nor do I care about the CL. Whereas you do care about Man Utd don’t you?
Oh I also support Standish Juniors Athletic as well for family reasons.
What is/was your user name on RLFANS Jay?
I share the same feelings as most people on this board. Living in Wigan in the 80’s and 90’s as a kid was rubbish for a Latics fan. Now, I don’t mind the fact about them lot winning a lot of trophy’s.. credit where credit is due in my view, but it is the way that only one team could exist is testament to how arrogant and one track minded those lot are.
Everyone got on the bandwagon, I remember at school when someone from the rugby club came in and my teacher (Mrs WRLFC) introduced me to him, she kicked me out of class because I genuinely had no idea who is was (and she knew I was a Latics fan)! I got sacked from Tom Rathbone’s place for wearing a JJB Latics top……FFS! Them-lot were wearing JJB on their shirts!!
Now we deal with egg chasers who make it a point of putting Liverpool or Man U shirts or stickers in their car next to their WRLFC stickers – these are the same die hard “Rugby is the only sport for me” people – this is out of pure spite for their local premiership football team.
So, is it about a rugby team and a football team or is it about Wiganer’s mentality in general? Can’t help but think if Leeds or Hull won their rugby cup, the football supporters of the town would be all behind them and vice versa.
I would like to think that would happen here but it’s not likely as BOTH sets of fans will not back down and I include myself in that statement. (and this pains me to say it…) but if both fans got together, both clubs would benefit through extra gate receipts and profile….

They hated us when we were bottom of Division Four because we existed, how dare there be another professional sports club in their “back yard”. Our team has been successful in spite of them and gone on to play for five years in the biggest league in the world at the national and global sport. Us Wigan Athletic fans have lived through that journey, a story that is the envy of football fans across the globe and gained us recognition all over the world.
Wigan has only ever been famous for rugby league in countries which play Rugby League, of which there are hardly any. Football is followed in every country across the world. The only reason that RL fans hate Wigan Athletic is because we had the cheek to steal a bit of their limelight.
I can think of dozens of reasons why Wigan Athletic fans would hate Wigan RL going back decades and even Wigan Borough before that but I can’t think of any other than the above why Wigan Warriors fans would hate Wigan Athletic
As others have said, it just makes them look like the bitter individuals they are. More open minded folk from other towns and cities would gladly support both. I used to go to both as many Wigan lads did but I don’t like bullies and during the 80s the rugby club, council, media, police etc did all they could to wipe Wigan Athletic out of existence like Wigan Borough before them
Some of us in this town support underdogs rather than latching onto successful clubs elsewhere like the glory hunting rugby men
What is/was your user name on RLFANS Jay?If I told you that I would be banned faster than you could say ‘Che’.
It is quite obvious cos I never post rugby related themes and try to defend Latics in the most sublte ways possible, as even though I haven’t declared any allegance to anybody they think I support St. Helens and get the contempt that is vented at them…FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that

PM me then.Then I could back you up on there.I hate them because they were happy to watch us take the path of Chester City. Despite begging them on a Latics day to help save our club, none of their stinking fans could be bothered.
If we had gone under as the fatties wanted, things may have been more clear.
For me, I will never forget the selfish chubsters.I hate them because they were happy to watch us take the path of Chester City. Despite begging them on a Latics day to help save our club, none of their stinking fans could be bothered.

For me, I will never forget the selfish chubsters.Now this where I would be tempted to see it from Tetleys quote. It wasn’t the fans or the players that did this (especially not the modern day ones). It was the OLD board, OLD press and OLD council that did it, I think the new board and press would be more than willing for the two clubs to grow up together, I feel they don’t think it will ever happen though and so don’t try.
I hate them for their arrogance and way they spoke of us in the 80’s. Everytime they made it to the M62 cup final, interviews on the BBC always takign the opportunity to say we dont exist or just put us down.
Besides that they are fat and break seats at the JJB
the bitterness that gets spouted on this forum is just sad. half of you are still clearly fumin that mo took the mick 25 year back. get over it!
i used to go to the odd latics game, but decided to stop going after all the abuse that i heard aimed at rugby. i know it happens at rugby as well, but nowhere near as bad as it did when i went to latics games, and it’s gonna put people off from either team going to watch the other which does neither of us any favours. daft really
The truth is that I dont care for Egg Chasing and the warriors can exist or go bust, I wouldnt care really.
The sport is on its last legs and am sure it means the world to you, as long as it keeps you out of the dole queue.
Whilst I understand the frustrations from some views, from others it’s pathetic. The line ‘I don’t care about them’ really annoys me, as the people who state this are usually the ones who are first to comment when either side loses. Now when I say I don’t care about baseball it’s true. I don’t know the results, the players, the stadia or the rules. I couldn’t give a sh*te.
When I was a kid and Latics were lower league there would be numerous anti Wigan RL chants at games. Now there are few. At rugby there would be no anti Latics chants at all yet now there are a few. My personal opinion is that it is all down to jealousy. Should Latics go down a couple of divisions the rugby will forget them whilst the Latics will begin to sing about them again. This is of course just my opinion but it is based on my own experiences rather than what I read in the paper, was told by my friend etc etc.
I posted this on facebook a while back which pretty much explains my thoughts behind it:
Just dnt understand it mate. Ok im not expecting ppl to change alliegence and jump on the bandwagon but the hatred is pathetic. i have no interest in running but would certainly rather wigan won than say castleford. i dont support wigan or orrell at union but would rather they win than lose unless they play leicester. wanting your home town to fail is pants. we have a team top of sl who are the most famous club in the world at their sport and a team in the pl for a 5th season despite being a small club who have played league football for only 31 years. a sixth of our league history has been in the top league. all cos some egotistical puff years ago n an egotistical old fart have said and done some dumb things we have all this my clubs bigger than yours im a bigger fan than you my dads bigger than yours crap. all very school playground if you ask me.
As I say all my opinion and each to their own etc etc. Oh and BTW, the guy who runs the C & W site is a long time Latics fan who up until this season had a ST.
Ok, I’m going to post on a rugby thread for the first and last time. I really don’t care about rugby league so I don’t care about Wigan Warriors. I don’t want them to fail, I just have no interest in them. I don’t know the rules, I don’t know the players but I do know they use our stadium. I’ve never been to a rugby league match but strangly, I have been to a baseball match in Toronto, I quite enjoyed it.
I wish people would stop posting rugby related posts on here as they simply clutter the board up.
I really, really, do not care about wigan Warriors or rugby league.
