Does anyone know why we changed from blue & white to cherry & white at the end of the 1800s? According to the history books the Leythers were first to use cherry & white hoops (from the Leigh coat of arms apparently - although the timeline is a bit fuzzy), just wondering why we effectively nicked them off them.

I mentioned here some long time ago last year about thinking about moving to Wigan. Well yesterday I had an offer on a house in Wigan accepted!

So does this mean I will be the only one making the epic journey from the South West up to the DW stadium on a Friday night now?

That six-hour drive is something I sure won't miss, Wiganosopher!

Anyway, I'm further South than you (as I recall)!

Is the Fantasy Rugby and the predictions that used to be run on here dead and buried for good now, thought I read somewhere last year that it may return this year, but since we are close to the start of the season I doubt it will be happening this year either. Will it ever return? I know it must have been a very time consuming job, but I preferred it to all the other Fantasy games available.

Watched a bit of Latics v Sheffield Wednesday last night. Wasn't overly impressed by the state of our pitch.
What's the odds the soccer men will blame us in a couple of weeks time?

I would say quite high given its a yearly occurrence. Maybe it wouldn't matter to them as much if they weren't so s**t

Just did a quick interview with Martin Offiah and Pat Richards at https://wiganrugby.blog/2017/03/08/big-interview-pat-richards-and-martin-offiah/ Interestingly Pat Richards hopes to come back to Wigan as soon as he can for the send off he missed when he retired before the Wigan v Catalan game last season

What's happened to Bilko's site? It just redirects to the forum now? Shame if all that work has just gone but I'm guessing it's archived somewhere.
