Strange that it should happen yesterday. How long has the statue been up? A couple of years? Whoever did it has probably not been to the DW in all that time, but are first in the queue to buy Wembley and Old Trafford tickets along with this fixture.
It’s not well in the minority and it’s growing by the year as kids in the town are growing up and being taught early to support one or the other. My mates young lad (Latics mad thanks to his dad) doesn’t know much about rugby but had asked about Wigan Warriors, going to see a game and getting into it. After Max’s mural got defaced he now hates them and wants to go and watch St Helens instead. Looks like it did some good after all.I'm at a loss to understand what rivalry there is between the two clubs. Two different sports for goodness sake. Morons on both side but happily well in the minority.

I agree with Craig - who'd have thought it ?As a kid going to High School in the 80s and supporting Latics the rugby fans used to be brutal in there dislike for Latics,(it was almost as if they was insecure). This in itself didnt bother me one bit, I supported a team not because they was best or had the most fans but for different reasons.
It was this reasoning that displayed that all us latics fans at Whitley High (i could probably name them all) was individual thinkers, and least i knew all the players names.
Even then the fans i was exposed to tended to be arrogant and aggressive in the manner they supported their team.
Thats why i have a generalised dislike for their fans, and then their is Maurice Lyndsey.
No the wasn't . Just light arted banterWasn't there threats to vandalise the Billy Boston statue by some Neanderthals masquerading as Latics fans?

............ Lets be be honest, do you think anyone outside Wigan and the M61 corridor has even heard of him. I wouldn't know him if I tripped over him in the street.
Is he a player for WW or their manager? I ain't got a clue.
Behave.
Maybe he isn't particularly well known outside the areas you mention........ but you know exactly who he is, otherwise, you wouldn't be so vociferous about it. ?
A legend in Wigan
A legend in rugby
Attends most Tics games (or he used to)
A gentlemen.
