No. It was aimed at the several people on here who criticise Wigan RL for having fans from outside the town whilst they also come from outside the town.
The difference in most cases is that the rugby fans don’t drive past other rugby clubs to get to games.
If they need a lift to widnes its only 5 minutes over the bridge for me.
At least it’s less travelling for Anglesy Warrior; but what about those Whitehaven Warriors :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:[/quote]
We your local team then?

Disgusting? What a stupid word to use. We had 4 home games on the bounce where we scored 3. Today was an off day. Disappointing yes. Below par yes. But disgusting? What a pathetic over reaction.
Perhaps one of those who thought it necessary to boo at the final whistle.[/quote]
The booing at full time was an utter disgrace, as was the booing for McAleny on his home debut when he decided to pass back to the keeper rather than hitting it forwards in hope and giving the ball away.Moronic.[/quote]
Indeed. Not sure what he was expected to do in that position when he had a defender pushing him back.
Give Oldham some credit. They strangled us in midfield and for the most part managed Yanic well. Top away display from them.
Another fact to throw in the mix whilst there is an us and them malarkey going on, is that the rugby fudge crowds because of the salary cap.
I’m talking as much as 2-3,000 for some games. I believe they may count all season ticket holders as being in the ground, even though when they play the bottom teams or should I say half the super league teams, a significant percentage of the season ticket holders don’t bother to turn up.
I have heard they double up the actual attendance for the official attendance as each fan is so fucking fat they take two seats up.[/quote]
Luckily for me, I automatically get two seats with my ST but only need one. #comfort
We don’t splash the cash though Donny as 99.9% of our squad comes through the academy .
No they don’t.[/quote]
99.8 then ;)[/quote]
52% of last Friday’s team came through the academy….. :whistle:[/quote]
25/31 members of the squad so 80% if people want the exact figure ;)

We don’t splash the cash though Donny as 99.9% of our squad comes through the academy and we have a salary cap to adhere to. OK, so the amount we could spend on wages could be less but clubs like Leeds, Saints and Wire seem to manage just fine so I’m not sure we would just vanish as our academy would still churn out player after player.
Keep praying it happens though, you never know.
I say keep them in.
If they moved out who would everyone blame next time the pitch turned into a swamp?
Probably still the rugby TBF[/quote]
I don’t think there can be any doubt that in this instance the rugby game played last Friday did turn the pitch into a swamp. Had it not gone ahead we wouldn’t be having this debate and the pitch could well have lasted until the scheduled refurbishment this summer.[/quote]
It was a mess before kick off and shouldn’t have been played. Whether it would have lasted I’m not sure because it was pretty much dead after the floods.

would divert the money away from their perennial operation of buying success.
Any shred of credability you may have had, which wasn’t much granted, was gone in that line.
I know you guys hate the rugby but if you’re going to fly the ‘rugby is the devil’ flag at least do some research first.
I wish we did have seperate grounds or a pitch that looked like a bowling green because at least then it would stop the childish crap from both sides. Granted my Facebook might not be as funny though.[/quote]
Eggy the Rugby paid for their success through massive debts I recall or did they not sell Central Park to Tesco to pay off debts amassed whilst they won everything in sight.[/quote]But what does that have to do with now?
