from the beeb :D
QUOTE ‘….a local in my west London alehouse suggested to me that no-one would care whether Wigan won or not as people are too caught up in the Six Nations. I think that’s rubbish…’
Really ? This is a very naive and blinkered view.
That someone doesn’t care two hoots about Rugby League?
Or two hoots about a weird one off game between a small town in the north and a team they have never heard of?How on earth can that be described as ‘rubbish’.
It’s the norm, no-one does really care, unless they live in the m62 corridor.And it’s not a two way street at all between League and Union. Just because league happens to like Union and enjoy Chris Ashton’s exploits does not mean at all that the reverse is true or has to be true.
Fair play to the Wigan chairman for his comments, but he doesn’t speak for Union watchers. And just because he likes watching the 15 man game and his old player (whom he failed to hang onto of course) doesn’t mean the reverse is true at all.That student of physicality that is Martin Johnson will of course be interested, but as much as he is in the conditioning of the San Francisco 49’ers and other impact sports. I didn’t see him beating a path to Rugby League even when he was an impoverished ‘amateur’ player. Does he attend League games now ? Maybe in disguise.
But let me suggest, if the man in the pub is talking ‘rubbish’, why not straw poll some of the 80,000 at Twickenham tomorrow as they leave the stadium and ascertain as to whether they will be watching the league game, or care, or could name the teams. I imagine you will get very few.
When Rugby league can build a world class 80,000 seater stadium on it’s own out of amateur profits, and fill it with regularity, then perhaps the codes MAY be judged as equal in popularity or with some parity. Until then, best not to term ‘rubbish’ the views that most of people (outside the northwest) agree with wholeheartedly.
Bottom line – in comparison to England France, hardly anyone cares.
Well said that mon :clap: :clap: :clap:
You cared enough to comment, you obsessed moron :angry-banghead:
Liverpool, United and Arsenal are the only team to sell out their entire away allocation every game. The North will be full no doubt. I’d hate to give up the East but it’d make commercial sense to have it allocated to away support again. Would guarantee a few sell outs
Yes we will my friend with our amazing looks…. Didnt need to use any chat up lines this weekend… Went 2 newcastle with the lads.. 2nd bar we went in there was a hen party.. I was last 2 walk into the top bar and straight away 2 girls straight over 2 me saying i was fit and i smelt good.. next minute the whole lot was over, (was like something off the lynx advert) Give the bride a little kiss and arranged to meet them later…
It is easy when you look like us isn’t it Zoggy!..
And of course you didn’t meet up with them later as you have a girlfriend of course zoggy :roll: ;) ha x[/quote]
I hope for your sake you look like Brad fukin Pitt, coz you’ve got fuk all between the lugs lad.
Go to the final with the lads every year, good day on the ale. 12k sold at the club and 20k sold from the RFL, you specify your team when you order so they can advise the best area to sit with the same fans I guess. 32k in total, good following.
Why was they in the grand arcade? Didn’t know they had a pie shop in there.Bet it smelt and bet it was an awful site seeing all them fat sh1ts walking round breaking the floor and sweating on it. Feel sorry for whoever has to clean the grand arcade after that, must get paid more for the awful smell and amount of sweat!
There’s taking the p1ss and there’s sounding like a 7 year old g0bsh1te. You embarrassing cnut.
Strange that tonight at the DW the the empty seats were in the North Stand that the Blackpool and Chelsea fans filled in recent weeks for your Wigan Athletic games.
Yet somehow WIGAN R.L. fans managed to fill over 17,000 of the other seats.
Please explain.
Can you explain why wigan warriors have never had a sell out crowd at the jjb/dw?
Wigan warriors record crowd 25004 v saints 2005
Wigan ath v Liverpool 25023 2005
Wigan Ath v Man Utd 25133 2007[/quote]25004 was capacity in 2005 mon. We had that v Arsenal when Henry scored that gem.
thats like being being the 2nd biggest dwarf in the village….no one cares anymoreYou didn’t care enough to open thread and post a reply? :o
DW loves cash and the truth is neither club will ever make him any serious amount. For all the riches of the Premier League, the facts show making a profit is extremely difficult for even the biggest clubs with European add ons.
Are you going to ask for a refund for every defeat this season? I hope you’re saying that in jest. Defeats are part of the game, if you can’t take it don’t go.
One mon at work today said he watched the Wigan v Hudds game on sky and it showed fans straeming over the bridge with 5 mins on the clock with the game in the balance.WTF is all that about. At least our fans did have something to do the early walk for. It’s not that they had to beat the saturday afternoon shopping traffic or out. That is a total joke and confirms that this town is and always will be blue !! :o
Yeah I saw that. There were 3 fans walking over the bridge, your mate is lying.
