Ian Lucas who started in both the 1991 final and 1992 semi final (he actually scored in that) was an Antiques dealer. David Myers only signed pro papers in 1992 and there were a few young lads who were also not pro.
When Wigan signed any player after 88/89 they used to sign them as a full time pro. If you didn’t want to be then you didn’t sign. Those players that were already on the books were signed as full time when their contract expired. If you didn’t want to be you were moved on. Lucas left in around 1993/94 as he didn’t want to be full time and Shaun Wane was sold to Leeds for the same reason.
It was only at the start of either 1992 or 1993 that the FULL squad was full time pro. Yes, most of our starting 13 were full time but our squad wasn’t. If the rest of RL decided not to follow us until a few years later then that isn’t our fault.
Regards clubs like Leeds and Widnes, Leeds actually had more money than Wigan at that time and signed Ellery Hanley for £250k in 1994
Hanley actually signed for Leeds in 1991. His last game for Wigan was in the Challenge Cup victory against Saints that year.

I see over on the Cuckoos board Latics fans are getting blamed by some for a steward being attacked and having his jaw broken inside Knowsley Road on good Friday.

Only by a select few. There are posts on there stating that blaming Latics is pointless and ludicrous.
Well i did see someone claim that blaming it on Latics fans was “lower than low” so fair play to them for that, whoever they are. Lo and behold after that the thread was locked ;)
I think they should concentrate on trying to eradicate the very real, and growing, problem they seem to have with a certain section of rugby fans, rather than just trying to brush it under the carpet and blame football fans as usual.
Is he the one who said Latics wouldn’t ever get another penny off him after Whelan kicked them out for that cup game ?
I found this post quite funny, seeing as it was in response to the news the rugby have given away, sorry sold, 5k-6k tickets for the Harlequins game.
‘Brilliant!
We fill our ground on Englands National Day and our team gets support from all four sides!
T’other team has to offer free coach rides to London to get support!’
