That would be mental age; I must admit the lack of understanding by some of the people at Warrington games of late is staggering. Although Wigan also have their own fair share.

If kids in Wigan don't bother with Rugby, why is it still the biggest producer of English players within the professional game?






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

That's a bit generous.

If Wigan have got old fans it shows that they are sticking with their team, even though they've seen some of the greatest teams in history they are still coming to watch Wigan even though they are now comparitively mediocre.


Good point. Perhaps Wigan needn't panic as they still have comfortably more supporters than we do, despite this relatively mediocre side.

We've got plenty kids and plenty oldies who've seen it all too. It's no big deal at the moment, but I've raised the point on the Wigan forum that the club need to make every effort to continue to attract and retain our future support.

As long as we keep banging out 15,000 averages I'm not overly concerned :)






23 - 20 - 4

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

Dont think people should knock Wigan about crowds, think only Huddersfield have cheaper season tickets, plus £10 to get in against Leeds, helps to get people in and push the crowds up.

now if i was a betting man i'd conclude that these older fans are the last remnants of the "glory years" and if wigan continue to miss out on future trophys they may just fizzle out and disapear! :PRAY:

ancient and loyal :lol: must be a description of the fanbase rather than the club! :lol:


I bet I got more bites with my thread than you get with this. Fiver on it? ;-)

Sadly they dont need as good as memory as us lest we forget, they have won honours in the SL era.
