All I can remember about Wigan is going when they won the Second Div at a canter (we lost 2-0 I think).  The place was mostly empty and the fans that were there were awful.  Probably the worst home support I've ever seen.

Remember that too.  They could barely be bothered to celebrate their goals.  Wigan (and Fulham to a lesser degree) are a waste of a Premiership place.  Without Mr J D Sports or whatever he'd called, they would still be slugging it out with Rochdale to prove which was the North West's most poxy outfit.

I was at that game. Drove up from Wantage to Edinburgh stopping off at the match on the way. My brake pads wore through half way up the M1 and by the time I got to Edinburgh stopping was majorly difficult and noisy as the brakes scraped against the discs. We did lose 2-0 and there were about 100 Swindon fans there that day.

It's a rugby town though isn't it really? They sell out the DW for Wigan super league games.

Thats the big problem, i don't think most people in wigan could afford to watch both so they have to choose. Football still isn't that fashionable up there. They also suffer with the close proximity with Liverpool and Manchester, its all to easy to go there as opposed to struggle in the lower halfs of the prem

Yeah, but you could argue Leicester is a rugby town (best supported rugby club in the land), but I don't think you can say Leicester fans don't turn out and support their team.  Beyond that, even if the turn out is poor the ones who are there should still make some noise.  I think its because they eat too much pie.

the pies are good though

I like a good pie, of course.  A good mate, who just crashed his car into a lamppost outside our house is from St Helens, and always calls them the pie eaters.  He likes rugby league.

What do meat pies have a hole in the top? So Wiganers can carry 4 at once.

They where called the pie 8ters when they won the challenge cup final 8 years on the trot. (fa cup of rugby league)

   He'll like that.  I'll text it to him.

Dave Spikey is the king of Wigan jokes.

They had to shut the Pioneer shop in Wigan, people kept coming in asking "Can I get a pie in here?".

Where do Wiganers buy their pies? Pies-r-us, Piekea, MFPies, Thomas Cooks... Pies.

Did he do that whilst you were typing that post?

  It does read that way...but no.  Happened earlier.

I would be dissapointed with this attendance at a Swindon match in League One against Carlisle on a Tuesday night
