I was driving to work this morning in Hyde and was sat at the lights, glanced to my left and there was another lad sat in his car. He had a Wigan shirt hanging up in the back and mini shirt in his rear window. I papped my horn and showed him the respect for displaying the colours.

When was the last time you saw a Wigan fan when you least expected it?

On a lesser point I also see a Saints sticker in a car in Ashton Under Lyne now and again, havent caught up with this individual as yet.






The new Saints statue looks like Andy Farrell!!

I suppose not the oddest but i seem to see a Wigan shirt everywhere i go on holiday. Walking down the las vegas strip i saw a cherry and white shirt walking towards me. Of course you have to stop them and say hello.

Although i did come a cropper on a train once....i saw a guy in a wigan jumper and hat, so i just said "how you think the seasons going pal" to the reply "i dont support them lad i just got them from a charity shop".

On my first full day on holiday in New York about 7 years ago, I saw a bloke in the queue for the Empire State Building wearing our 2002 Murrayfield shirt. 8)

I have seen them all over the place, in france (not at an Wigan game), Wales north ans south, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds. I also once saw a lorry on the ferry with a Wigan scarf accross the front, it was a french lorry so the driver was also french I think.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS
