If he doesnt and Coyle lets him play.
Sack em both!!!Let’s see when it happens. Stop trying to stir things.I wasnt. It was a genuine question as I dont know if it was just PL clubs who wore them. His refusal to wear one pretty much finished his career at Sunderland, such was the feeling amongst the vast majority of the support. He was pretty much booed for the rest of the season.
Anyway, it seems that his new national management team dont have an issue with it, just as they didnt when they managed Sunderland:
also they filled more than half of the away end something the Giants fail to do consistently being less than 50 miles away….Which makes the 19,000+ crowd on 9 Aug for the visit of Huddersfield to Wigan all the more impressive.
As it been cancelled this World Cup tis all gone quiet :S :S :SYou’ve certainly gone very quiet when it comes to answering simple questions:
35 – please tell me how that compares to the last time Huddersfield played at the DW?Runners up 48 weve just started playing rl 5 years ago (France) 0
That’s just not true I’m afraid – France has a very long history of playing rugby league down in the South West. Catalan XIII, Perpignan, Toulouse etc were playing long before Super League invented Catalan Dragons, and France were regular opponents of Great Britain.
Hardly surprising he got it wrong – the bloke cant even answer questions correctly on his chosen sport that he’s followed for 35 years. What chance has he of getting a rugby fact right? :lol:
And I note that even though there was a full house at Huddersfield, enough travelling fans made it across to the DW to make it a 16,000+ crowd.

Anywho the question still arises which you have failed to answer why is there little appatite for the RLWC in Wiggin town centerSee post 120808.
Why not issue a response to my post Mutty? (The one where I’ve explained why)Err….Because a response wasnt required. You explained why in your view nobody in Wigan was good enough to play top level football, and why no local lad has come through the youth set up for well over a decade.
Personally, I find it shocking that whoever is responsible for scouting and youth development in Wigan has failed to unearth a single gem. What with it being such a footballing hotbed.
Mutty all questions have been answeredNo it wasnt. I gave you the answer. None. Nill. Zero. Zip. F**k all. The best we can come up with is a journeyman lower league plodder from the 1990s and a goalkeeper who warmed the bench for the last 3 years of his career.
Its a pretty poor show that a football-mad town with so many football pitches and leagues, a purpose built soccerdome, and a football club (with an academy) who dined at the top table of English football for 8 years have failed to produce a single player. Whoever runs the football youth development in Wigan has failed more spectacularly than that Shoesmith woman did in Haringay.
Even now, in the CCC, there is not a single Wigan lad in the 18 man squad for tonight’s game.
When is a Wigan lad going to represent his home-town football club?
Like it or not, Wigan is a football town. More people watch & play football than rugby league. That’s a fact – it’s why a certain millionaire can make money out of opening a soccerdome in the town yet no-one thinks there’s money to be made from a rugbyleaguedome.Yet you, Standish, Bicky and 30+ cannot name a single Wigan-born player who has played for Wigan since 2004 – nine years ago. Gary Walsh was born in Wigan, but only played for his home-town club at the very end of his career. Hardly a resounding success story for a football town and their soccerdome to have produced zero players for the club.
The only Wigan-born player I can find that is making a success of playing premiership football is Leon Osman.
I’ll take a guess at Gary Walsh.Played the last of his 5 league games for Wigan on 3 April 2004 in a 0-1 home defeat to Wimbledon.
Surely there must be someone else since then? Its a football town tha’ knows….
What ya twittering on about ya buffoon You’ll be saying Billy Boston was born in Scholes nextFor someone who claims to have followed the latics for 35 years and lives in a football town, the answer to this question must be on the tip of your tongue.
Seems you have a speech impediment though – I cant quite hear what you are saying.
question for egg and slutty
can you name the irish rugby league and usa rugby league team ,if not then five players from each team
will do
also the teams they play for in their country and name of the leagues in the country
also could you tell me the current champions of both usa and irish rugby league
thank youEgg has given you your answer.
How about now you tell me how many Wigan-born players have played for Wigan Athletic’s first team in a league fixture over the past 8 seasons?
And name them….[/quote]
Why the past 8 seasons?
Talk about tailoring a question so you get the answer you want.[/quote]
I made it 8 years, seeing as most of you followed other clubs before 2005. However, I’m happy to re-phrase the question if it makes it easier:
Who was the last Wigan-born player to play a league game for Wigan Athletic, and when?
I’ll start you off. Colin Greenall in 2000.
Should be easy for you experts to come up with someone a bit closer to the present day, considering its a football town, tha’ knows…

Millenium Stadium Capacity 72500.30,000 empty seats for a double header including one of the the host nations versus the Champions elect.
It doesn’t look too good to me!!
Incidently, why are the semis at Wembley, but the Final at Old Trafford?
It wouldnt look good to a self-confessed rugby hater. Just as close to 30,000 empty seats at Wembley in April didnt “look too good” to a football hating Wiganer.
