Rivalry between us and Wigan

Where has it come from?i tried to figure it out but no can do. Where would you start ?huh well i thought i`ll look at games between the 2 clubs.well we have played each other 11 times only and 1 of them was an ldv game so its won 4 drawn 1 lost 6,all in the last 5 years.so cant see that rivalry building from there can you ?.so perhaps its some other kind of footballing item so i looked at our stats against some of the top teams in the land.

Oldham v Arsenal Oldham v Chelsea Oldham v Newcastle Oldham v Leeds Oldham v E verton

5 wins 12 draws 6 losses 16 wins 13 draws 20 losses 10 wins 12 draws 18 losses 13 wins 12 draws 15 losses 13 wins 12 draws 13 losses

wigan v man utd wigan v Tottenham wigan v Liverpool

none none 0 wins 0 draws 2 losses

nah nothing there just shows we played in the upper reaches and lost a lot :)

Well i looked on the internet for some clues and did`nt` find much as you can see below

looked at maps we still in Greater manchester(which only became Greater when they put Oldham in it)

Im convinced that all males born in Wigan are mainly made up of female DNA.Lets look at the facts someone built a pier in pieland but there aint no sea they think Oldham is in yorkshire,and we all know women cannot read maps .also there is no escaping the fact that they are a rugby town.even before they entered league football in 1978 they lived in the shadow of thier rugby rivals.if you go on the net just look at the www.footballgroundguide.co.uk/ web site and view the south stand yep you guessed it rugby post.also a writer on the site describes it as

The JJB comprises four individual stands of equal height and identical appearance. Whilst not a fan of the new identikit stadia, I like the design of the JJB. The views are spectacular and everything is there for a cracking experience. However, the one vital ingredient is missing, and perhaps the most vital one at that. A stadium without faces is soul-destroying for players and supporters alike. Crowds are what make stadiums, they shape it's character. With the JJB rarely filled to half it's capacity it seems a waste to have built such a fine arena. The lack of supporters, and the passion and atmosphere they generate, make for a depressing 90 minutes where the songs echo eerily across the stands.

Famous Wigan food products include Heinz baked beans, Pataks Indian foods, Potters herbal remedies, Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls, and De Roma ice cream.

So now you know why the town is full of wind.

The Verve, whose split was announced recently became Wigan’s most famous musical export since ... George Formby!

Richard Ashcroft`s music is so depressing,singing about suicide n drugs.But then again he is a scum fan.

Wigan is twinned with the French city of Angers, in the Loire Valley. The two councils exchange ‘dresses’ every year.

could`nt find no links with Scotland and wigan,only that the jocks fail at football on a regular basis as well.so im at a loss as to why they refer to each other as mon all the time.

Wigan is the most westerly borough in the county of Greater Manchester

Wigan was once know by romans as Coccium sounds a bit like coccyx which explains why arsehole comes to mind when you think of wiganers.

Little lads no longer make their clog irons spark because they do not wear them any more. Walter Hurst is the last of the Wigan Clog makers

The reason Wiganers are called PIE EATERS is not because off the inordinate amount of dead flesh that they eat wrapped up in soft pastry. It is because in the general strike of the 1920's the town of wigan was the first town to break the strike, and therfore had to eat HUMBLE PIE.

Here we see some pie eds dancin round the pie pole before contruction off the JJB tedium.Notice how they all carry their bags instead of dancing round them.

and a hanky in each hand for when they fail again.

Now im only guessing here but if you have seen the Kevin Costner film Field of Dreams,a corn field spoke to him it said "if you build it they will come".

so perhaps Dave Whelan was sat in the directors box at central park when his his pie spoke to him,and we all know what evil little bastards pies can be!.

But is there any rivalry between us?well we both want to get out of this division and wigan have spent a lot of Dave Whelans money trying.if we are losing £50 k a week

what must they be shelling out.makes you wonder what whould happen if it was`nt for the Dave Whelans and Chris Moores of this world.

Any way i blame 1 person for starting all this shit up.bout 4 years ago a pie ed called Pez who works for wigan council used to come on Oldhams message board givin us all kinds ov insights as to how wigan was gonna be in the prem soon coz they had loads ov money better players and a better tedium than us so now you know.

Pez dont post on the Oldham board like he used to probabley got fed up ov that feeling of failure at the end of every season.but chin up Pie eds perhaps its time for a double Latic this season good luck to both teams.Enjoy yer Football :)
