I doubt very much the Warriors fans thought of it. More likely been watching the out of town glory hunting teams they support on telly Liverpool, Man U and copied them. The Stretford End and Kop have been masters of flags for years. Wigan Warriors fans copy every single idea they have from football, its like they want to be football fans theyre even copying 80’s style football hooliganism at many games now

I hope that when they come here on the opening day they play as well in orange as we did last season away from home

If we’re on the subject of youtube clips, then this one is of interest. It’s all about Latics:

I have struggled ( although admittedly have more important things to do than search ) to find any footage on youtube of Wigan Athletic fans uploading especially photoshopped video edited propoganda of Wigan Athletic fans saying offensive things ( repeatedly ) about Wiggin Rugby.

But just remember WE are the bitter ones and We are irrelevant to them :roll:

They even sings songs about Latics at games….

To think these people have the gall to call us “Bitter Blues” and “obsessed” 8-)

To be honest, The Egg, a bit of give and take is all that is required. However, the arrogance of some ( but not all ) of the rugby lot on RLfans.com is beyond belief.

Latics have already given ground by not requesting a home fixture on the opening day, to expect us to play more or less every game away from home until the end of September because Wigan Warriors might have a play off fixture ( might being a key word ) is not on at all, you only have to look at our away form last season to see what a disadvantage Latics would be at.

There are years and years of precedent where Latics and the rugby are concerned, mostly Latics giving way e.g. we only played one home fixture on Boxing Day throughout the 90s to accommodate the Rugby v Saints.

I know the RL lot will say that their play off games are more important but then there were, what 8000 at the Castleford play off game last season compared to 20000 possibly at a Wigan v Sunderland game.

And of course football is not as fluid as rugby: Sunderland fans will have to travel further, may have booked hotel and it’s less likely that both set of fans can walk up and pay on the day.

The revenue through the gate and for TV rights dwarves probably ten times over what an RL play off game would bring in.

Contrary to what some people on RL have been saying about me [big wave to you all] I am not so anti-RL. I merely like pointing out the small minded ness of many RL fans, after all the drivel they write about WAFC fans, a team and sport they care not to care for

There’s not too much I have said in the above that is even worthy of debate, it is mostly fact. Unfortunately, what is called passion by a lot of RL fans in Wigan, looks suspiciously like hypocrisy to the outside world for all the reasons i have stated above.

I only wish there were more people like you with a foot in both camps to try and add a sense of realism to the debate.

Anyone with a rational mind would not expect a game in the biggest league in the world to be moved for a regional play off which will not even be confirmed as a fixture until the week before but this lot aren’t rational.

It’s all part of the deal of sharing grounds and a town I’m afraid and both clubs have had to give ground over the years

Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t endorse shooting anyone for getting it wrong and although I might buy one I rarely wear one. However, fans like to wear a new shirt on their summer holiday and football fans like to go on holiday before the season starts.

They have brought new kit out before the end of the previous season in the past so I’m sure it’s just been down to the Vandanel problems etc. Would have preferred Nike meself generally classier but will reserve judgement till I see what it’s like

If you don’t want think you get enough value from a Latics season ticket, maybe you’d be better off dropping down and watching Championship football

A season ticket at Leeds is £540, got get ’em kidda ;)

Not really. I only joined in this thread because you seemed to be seeking help by repeatedly asking a question. I answered it, as you requested. I didn’t need any help, I was just giving you some ;)

That wasn’t the way I read it, I read it like this (3rd thread down)

No mention of griff, he hadn’t even contributed to this thread at this point

I had no issue with the opinion that you expressed, I just served to answer the question which followed and you repeatedly asked.

Your arms must be sore with all the goal post moving you are doing :lol:
