Some Latics fans don’t like the rugby because of an incident with Maurice Lindsay nearly 40 years ago and comments made by him. He’s not been involved with the club for nearly 15 years now and you hear nothing but praise for Latics from the rugby owner and staff.


I'm not sure they even need a reason. Plenty of football fans have completely bought into the ridiculously OTT promotion that it gets on TV, and simply can't conceive that any other sport holds a candle to it … so much so that an RL-led bid to save their club is being treated as an insult in certain quarters.

However, not all Latics fans are adopting this approach. I've been pleasantly surprised surfing Twitter today by how many seem to have welcomed IL's pitch. Just goes to show that a noisy minority can create a false impression.

One clown even used the reason that 'a lot of Latics fans are also Saints fans, that's why we will never accept it'. Yes, that argument is really going to prove persuasive in a town like Wigan.

Latics might not want to hear it, but they aren't a PL level club as they don't have the support to sustain it. I'd argue the same about them being a championship level side too. They'll always need a big financial backer and, just like under DW, that isn't going to last forever.

They could however be a bit of a force in L1 as they've got great facilities, a good stadium and a decent youth setup too.

IL is a savvy operator and they'll make sure they are competitive, but not overly stretched.


I'd say from a Warriors fan point of view the Championship is the best place for them, far fewer games on the pitch than Lg 1/2 and we don't get bored to death by the Linekers of this world about us ruining the pitch if they were ever to get back in the Premier league.

No, but neither would we have to take a home game to Widnes.

You only have to look at the clowns on Facebook’s “I’m From Wigan Me” to see the level of intelligence fans from both sides are displaying. It’s borderline embarrassing.

I might not be a Latics lover but I can see that this move would hugely benefit both sides. It’s a huge shame that some ‘fans’ are letting their ego and pride cloud their judgement. If anything is going to bring this proposal crashing to the ground (other than financial reasons) it’s this.

It would be interesting to see how these people react if their bluff is called.

Personally, I think there is far too much 'it's my way or the highway' going on in the world at present, often from people who don't actually have one ounce of leverage. This idea that 'if you don't think as I do, I'll take my ball home' … quite often when they don't even have a ball, is bizarre and pathetic, but also pretty poisonous.

The twin arts of compromise and negotiation are being slowly lost in the age of Twitter.

But … let's see if these online loudmouths really are ready to walk away from Latics when/if IL takes over. I'd like to bet that quite a few of them will discover that they're not quite so eager to give up their lifetime's interest for the sake of making a silly little point that no one else will even notice.

Perhaps they could get together in Moston with United FC & have a collective "oh woe is us" wingeathon.

Since that incident with Maurice he has been employed by Wigan Athletic. Might not have a choice the fans. Whelan has already sold the club to a pup once. The administrators wont do the same as he did.
