hope you stuff the nomads quite easy , a team that has its own ground and larger support than our rent payers deserves the prize
come on you wiresMaybe next year eh? ;)
talking bllx again mutty
wurriors are no bruce springesteen nor a club well known around the globe like we are
leigh stadium would be quite sufficient for such a small event, or even one of the other big named rugby clubs
infact why dont you stick to some sport from down south where you belong and stick to shandy drinking you southern tart ;)You would be hard-pushed to find another club competition in the UK this weekend that attracts a higher attendance than the one that will be at Old Trafford tonight.
It may not be full, but one things for sure – It will certainly be more than 4 times, and possibly more than 5 times the piss-poor crowd that bothered to show up at the DW on Thursday. Now that was an embarrassment – almost as bad as the 12181 that showed up for your first ever league cup semi final.
God help your crowds if you get through the group and folk actually have to pay to go! ;)
Being played on a football ground.
What does that tell the World !Bruce Springsteen played at several sports stadium this summer – what does that tell the world?
It tells them that the events were so popular that they needed an arena large enough to meet demand.
Just wondering if it is important or not. 7000 tickets sold by the lodgers doesnt make it look that important.
If it is I would just like to wish Warrington all the best.Where did you get that figure from? Was it just a made-up number that was less than 12500, just to make you sound superior?
There doesn’t seem to be much space available in the East Stand which is the designated Wigan end. Then of course you have those who have bought tickets down the sides:

Someone who appreciates a good performance on the field. I may be corrected by someone who can be arsed trawling through my posting history (35 whatever….!), but I cant recall ever criticising the team. I found it an entertaining game, and that 60 seconds or so between Carson’s amazing save and Powell’s stunning solo goal summed up the highs and lows of a sporting fixture, and the difference between success and failure.
My only beef is with a handful of the people on here who seek to knock everything that Wigan Warriors and their fans do, both on and off the field.
What Myth?.
Wigan RLFC, Every one of the townsfolk who follow the stupid sport supports the Worriers.
Wigan Ath FC.Surrounded and playing in the backyard of 4 of the biggest clubs in Britain who the good people of Wigan traditionally support. Yet despite this on entering the football league in 1978 the average crowds for this year were in the region of
Wigan Athletic 9000
Wigan RLFC 3500
So, what you are saying is that in the last 35 years, Wigan Warriors have more than trebled their average crowd, but Wigan Latics have only managed to increase theirs by 50%, despite moving up at 4 rungs of the football ladder.[/quote]
You know full what he’s saying.Wigan RL’s average attendance had dropped by 75% from previous seasons due to their relegation.
So let’s spin it on its head. Has Wigan Athletic’s average attendance dropped by that amount following relegation? Oops. No.
You’re a fickle lot, no?
Keep it coming Mutty. Fish in a barrel springs to mind.[/quote]
If that was the case then he should have done his research a bit better.
Firstly, Wigan were relegated in 1980, not 1978.
Post relegation, their crowds increased, and continued to rise for 9 successive seasons. Probably their success meant that the disgruntled Latics fans of the mid-80s just went back to watching rugby after the novelty value of soccer wore off.
As far as I can see, they’ve never averaged 3500. The lowest was in 1978, but it was 4505 – that’s a 33% error!

Mutty, Mutty, Mutty, old chapYou really aren’t understanding the principles of fan message boards, in particular this one. So I will explain.
(1) Latics fans posting positive messages about Latics.
Rare on here I know, but fine.(2) Non-Latics fans posting positive messages about Latics.
Fine, and actually welcome.(3) Latics fans posting negative messages about Latics.
Disappointing, but acceptable. This is after all a Latics’ fans board. We do not operate the same policy as for example Red & White Kop, which deletes and bans anyone not toeing the “party line”.(4) Non-Latics fans posting negative messages about Latics.
Not acceptable, in the same way that C&W moderate such things out (and there is sufficient evidence from people here that have tried to do it that it happens frequently). Why should we have to listen to outsiders’ views? See point (3).(5) Latics fans posting any comments about non-Latics issues (eg rugby league, rugby union, cricket, basketball, baseball or synchronised swimming) . Allowed as long as it’s in the right sub-forum. But don’t expect a flood of replies.
(6) Non-Latics fans posting as in the point above. Likely to get deleted as being not at all relevant to this board.
You are in danger of consistently breaching points (4) and (6).
Taken from the front Page:
“The rules are quite simple, treat other users how you expect them to treat you. Racist and homophobic comments will not be tolerated and niether will defamatory remarks to people on or not on these boards. Please take note that this is an open forum and so the younger element does get on here to read, so please keep the language and images clean. If you have any queries, please email us on editor@cockneylatic.co.uk or click the report buttons on any posts you feel may offend.”
So you have now added a whole heap of rules so that the conversation is controlled, and as long as anyone agrees with your view(ie the constant slagging of Wigan Warriors and their fans), then they are allowed to post.
Freedom of speech is clearly lost on you fella.
Speaking of attendances down 9,35% MuttsNot much on the box tonight so thought I’d just have a little number crunching session. Last season Wigan had a total home attendance of 208k giving an average of 16,043, which was 1% down on the previous season. 2013 figures are total home gates 189084 giving an average of 14,545, down roughly 9.35% :shock:
Wondered why we had not had urgings from the club to break attendance recordsNot much on the box, so I worked out what % difference is between 19,359 and 14,663 is. 24.26% less. Makes 9.35% look pretty impressive!
I wonder what would have happened had the chubbies lostgreat game only to be spoiled by wigan fans bricking leeds coaches,and smashing windows
Keep ya fans under control mutty
Were those the coaches that were bricked away from the ground, whilst the Wigan supporters were still in the ground saying farewell to Tomkins, Richards & Mossop?
My money is on them being the Latics Brigantes – throwing bricks because they’d run out of stocks of flares.
Would Wurriors wouldn’t take 2,500+ for a midweek night match in Belgium…no chance!Nor would they only take 134 for a midweek night match in London.
Belgium was a one-off novelty. Lets see if you can pack out the visitors end at Charlton in 4 weeks. At £6 a ticket, you cant blame the prohibitive cost.
That may be because of their moderation policy.Or it may be that they really dont care…
Are you suggesting that we should do the same?Because I’m very happy to.
Yes. Why dont you get rid of every anti-rugby thread? The added bonus is that you’d get rid of me, as I only come on here to reply to them!
