be careful you know how touchy some of em are,you will end up being banned

I am as made up as anyone that wigan have lost, but can we tone down the celebrations a little? Widnes, no matter how cack they have been recently, are our true rivals and you should never celebrate one of their victories with such gusto. Even against that shower.

I'd rather laugh at our nearest rivals than worry about the unwriteen law we have to hate Widnes. I pity Widnes and want to beat them stupid but it isn't a grudge match or anything.

Delicious!

balls to that

Oh, it's a grudge match alright. I know you're a young student, but if you ask one of the older fans about games in the 80s they will tell you all you need to know. Games against widnes back then (when they were actually good!) were more intense than any wire/wigan game i've ever been to.

just took a peep on that lots board..they are threatening to ban people again..ive noticed a few from warrington that have already had a ban...what a pathetic bunch they are

I remember 2009 being intense.



I struggle to remember the last time I though of Widnes as anything other than not a threat. Maybe it's passed Wire by.



I'd love to have a rivalry on the level as Sts/ Wigan or, to a lesser extent, Leeds/ Bradford but that is many moons away.



We're the ebst team in super league and Widnes are the worst.

As somone of a certain vintage (early 40's), here's my take



The Wids

A big (huge to some) rivalry, that's not existed (properly) since the announcement of the Super League mergers. The Wids have been embarrasing, ever sine (apart from over-acheiving in 2002)



Stains

Come on, as someone of my era, this was never REALLY a rivalry, until the heroic defeats/70-2 thrashing era started, and it became a 'millstone round our neck" since the advent of SL. Let's be fair, the Stains rivalry was the equivalent of our relationship with Leigh, throughout the eighties and most of the nineties. Don't forget, we played Leigh on "glamour" days....Boxing Day, Easter Monday etc, in years gone by.



To me, Wigan is the be all and end all for rivalry, even though, when I started watching Wire, Wigan were poo, and were just about to be relegated. But, it was all about the "mystique"...walking down Bridge St and over Wilderspool Bridge, and seeing THAT graffiti "KILL WIGAN"....and I just thought WOW, there's local rivalry for you.

It always made me nod my head, when Cull was our coach, and we'd be playing Wigan on a live Sky game, and he'd say, in the video interviews (pre-match)..."it's Wigan week"....as a Wire fan, it's always sent a shiver down my spine.



I know the Pies see Stains as their main rivals, and they regard us as an inconvenience, BUT, #### em. Those times when Wigan were in their POMP, and lorded it over everyone (mid 80's to mid 90's), and we'd go to Central Park, and beat them regularly, are my favourite moments as a Wire fan.....long my that continue.
