Quote Wigan/Leeds Andy="Wigan/Leeds Andy"Some people have some very short memories when it comes to crowds. We went from getting 3 or 4 thousand a game at the start of the 80s in the second division to getting 14 or 15 thousand 10 years later, yet some are criticising the Latics support for pretty much the same thing that happened to us.
Yet another thread where some people's enormous insecurity about the Latics is there for all to see. I really don't know why some are threatened by them?

'pretty much the same thing' doesn't come close. Surely 4,000 in RL's Division 2 cannot be compared to 9,000 in Football's 2nd tier, especially when a third of the teams would bring 5,000 plus away fans. Comparing RL to football coverage is like comparing Liechtenstein population to USA's.
Anyway, like you say, lets close this thread as we are just re-assuring ourselves. Whelan regularly comes out ranting re: Wiganers not being bothered about Latics. He know's inside.
