jealous of what :lol:
17,000 home fans on your beloved DW for a start. When do you next reckon that will happen? My guess is about April 2011.
Its amazing – the night after a thumping win for our nation in a Euro Champs qualifier, there is not a single thread on this site that mentions it, yet you are prepared to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about a sport that you hate, whilst ignoring a sport that you claim to love.
Obsessed, putting it mildly. :roll:
why do the powers that be on here give maggots like parakeet, lord of the kebabs and other assorted insects a voice on here. get your act together? sort it out FFS :?Because bile-filled nomarks like you keep starting threads about rugby and the mods dont take action to remove them.
If the T&C of posting were altered to “You can say anything you like about rugby as long as it involves slagging them down, insulting their fans and making libellous allegations against former players – any pro rugby stances will not be tolerated”, then you would have the board and debate you desire.
However, if thats the way you like living, where debate and opinion is controlled, then I believe North Korea is the place for you.
In case you havent noticed, any latics-related thread is quickly removed on C&W – even the ones gloating about your 14-0 defeat to Chelsea.
So 15823 is a good average….. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Wigan tiny athletic have beat that for the past 5 years and we have won nowt, a bit like our lodgers…. :lol: :lol: :lol:I dont dispute that – its a fact.
Its also a fact that WAFC’s current average is 15314, which has been boosted by an average of approx 4,000 travelling fans. This will again be propped up by the next two visitors, who are reknown for large travelling supports.
What is also a fact is that currently less seats are left empty in the South, Springfield and Boston stands for a rugby fixture than they are for a football fixture. Or will there be more than 22K at the DW on Saturday? Frankly, I’d be surprised if the attendance topped 18K, and thats with 5000 visitors and cheap tickets being sold already.
BOTM – I can almost visualise you self-imploding, due to the amount of bile and jealousy oozing out of every pore of your body – it must be awful seeing the thing you hate the most doing so well, whilst the thing you love the most is taking some serious hammerings in front of lower and lower crowds.
15823 is a bloody good average for a supposedly crap backwater sport played by neanderthals along an M62 corridor in a town which is smack bang in the middle of a very densely-populated football-loving area of North-West England.
Particularly so when there’s so much bad news in the economy, which has seen other sporting clubs suffer up to 20% drops in the level of their home support.
Having said that though, I seriously expect the larger of the two crowds to be at the DW on Saturday rather than Sunday next weekend – apparently Sunderland have already sold 5,000 tickets.
the guy in red looks like a fat toothless simpleton? I bet you a steak bake that he is a rag follower :lol:Impossible!
Pemberton is a footballing hotbed within the “city limits” and all the Warriors’ fans are out-of-towners from Leyland, Preston etc.
One of the pictures is a red circle with a cross and the other is the mighty Wigan Athletic beating Aresenal 3-2… Please explain this.No I am not saying all Wigan athletic fans are slim, sweet smelling and handsome, but I am saying that nearly ALL Warriors fans are most certainly NOT! Except the younger girls that go ;) … Me on the other hand, I am slim, sweet smelling and handsome :)
Its amazing the lengths the mods will go to in order to protect the myth that fat people and football in Wigan do not mix! ;)
A quick look on the facebook page suggests otherwise though!
This is why thugby men cant see the bigger picture dumbo their are other countries in the world besides Britain ,do you honestly think that he wont make any money when the book gets sold in America :roll: :roll: :roll:1. Why do you feel the need to bring rugby into everything? I imagine you as the male equivalent of the puking blue-rince Tory woman on Little Britain.
2. Its on sale in the USA right now.

To save you reading the whole article, I’ll quote a bit:
A spokesman for the former prime minister, who is understood to have already received a £4.6m advance for A Journey, said he would hand over all the money he makes – including the advance – “as a way of marking the enormous sacrifice [the armed forces] make for the security of our people and the world”.
The book is expected to generate huge interest when it goes on sale on 1 September. Translation rights have been sold in 14 territories.
:roll: :roll: :roll:
This fiend should be on trial at The Hague, not swanning around raking money in at our expense, it makes my blood boil it does ! :evil:He’s giving the entire proceeds from book sales to the Royal British Legion and wont make a penny out of it.
Least Im not fat, sweaty and ugly ;)
Jimmy, your line in wit and repartee is seriously lacking, my friend[/quote]
You need to teach me Griff ;) .. Rugby fans are all jelous of my good looks :D [/quote]
Its certainly not your spelling that they would be jealous of!
Now are you claiming that all latics fans are slim, sweet-smelling and handsome? This would suggest otherwise on at least one aspect:
and I thought I was Lord of the Pies!!!
30k the wage limit at wiggin :oHe hasnt gone and its at least 17 weeks before he can be flogged, so thats approx £500,000 in wages for a bloke who doesnt want to be there, is a disruptive influence, and may not play for the club again.
I know that he couldnt be forced out, but just because Brum were prepared to pay £8 million doesnt mean that Wigan can hold out for that fee from every club – clearly only Brum think he was worth £8m.
If he does leave in January, I would expect him to leave for significantly less than £8m, unless both the player and the management have a change of heart and he has a storming 4 months between now and January.
Now here’s a good example of deluded:
Spot on. Couldnt agree more. Look where Villa & Bolton are in the league.
In fact, only averaging around 15,500 doesnt seem to have done Wigan Warriors any harm either.
statistics again that are shown in someones favour-press never do it with us29.37% of all statistics are made up!
Seriously though, what positives can you gain from less than 11,000 home fans turning up for a game against the current champions? You cannot keep harping on about “the meteoric rise from 1500 in the 90’s” for ever. It has less and less credibility as each premiership season passes by.
and considering Birmingham were housed behind one goal, with over 60% of the bottom tier and the entire top tier being empty, I’d say that 17,000 home fans for a live TV game against an unfashionable side was a pretty good turnout.
If it had been Bolton v Chelsea and Chelsea had brought 4,000, there would have been over 20K on.
34725 is a pretty good crowd for a live TV game. They were at home (on TV) on the same weekend last season and got 32917.
Villa Park holds approx 42,000, with 3,000 for visitors. Even if we assume every visiting seat was filled today, they still have filled almost 82% of their 39000 home seats.
Compare that with the 11000 that filled 55% of the 20000 home seats at the DW for last week’s televised game….
