No, just the fact they pipped us for promotion in 75/76, and the cunts surrounding our van when we lost 4-0 in 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan fans, who often remind us that our stadium is closer to their town than it is to ours risked ‘taking’ our town hall steps seven miles or so from the stadium. 40 minutes ago, Revelredne1961 said: 7 miles from the stadium utter cowards The pedant in me wants to say it's only 5 miles However, the sentiment remains the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Living down south these days I'm not even close to the detail of goings on off the pitch between us and them since 2005. Has that scruffy rag-tag really had the upper hand over us throughout this last 15 years? That's the impression I've formed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d not say these are there main mob, they’ve a small mob of older lads who’ve been around for a long time probably since before they left Springfield park, small in numbers but a right set of cunts and pick carefully where, when they are going to kick off to give themselves maximum chance of meeting numbers they can handle, not sure how active they are these days though.

They'll no doubt have a gigantic chip on their shoulders about BWFC if they recall the 80s. What about the main mob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 A few years ago some Bolton called Wigan out when they in the Sweet Green after the match. I was stood at the train station watching it all unfold. Bolton came from behind Cloghes Opticians, they must have come from The York, and asked wigan to dance. To be fair some of them did oblige but foxtrotted pretty quick back to the pub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Surely wigan with their lack of numbers wouldn’t have had the audacity to try it on there. as mentioned on here many times United’s numbers were tremendous especially that one Saturday at the Reebok when they were holed up in horwich (the bridge?) wigan would have shat it against them sort of numbers and couldn’t have even had the balls to even turn out. good job the police were there to stop us on that day could have got nasty 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of us walked round the corner looking up to the old college walked back round and just carried on walking and said fuck that and chuckled and then they came round the corner. As you say huge escort but they found it quite funny as they walked past us we had a well known Bolton based Leeds fan with us that day and he’s as game as they come and even he didn’t fancy that not one bit. as an aside worst outnumbering ive ever had was 8 of us at rangers Celtic at hampden (4 of city’s main lads with us) and we ended up 50 yards from where 300 Celtic were holed up and one of the city lot fancied it. Needless to say my interest was minimal as I fucked off sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy called Russ, along with Jumbo, were instrumental in their thuggery around the Springfield Rd era. They could be found in the Ball and Boot Pub, on quite a rough estate, Scholes if i remember rightly. I see these two at the twice yearly Northern Soul events here in Tenerife, and still chat about the old times. Although majority of that mob are now in the fifties, they still turn out for the big games, and also tasty away games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 24, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2020 Saw a few Wigan in Germany in 2001, most didn't look up to much but 1 was huge - must have been 6ft 6+ flat top helmet and built like a brick shithouse.
