I wish you would shut up about being raggish for God sake,I'm 46 and supported City and Wigan RL all my life,if I was let down, (usually),on a Saturday,I was always cheered up on Sunday,just believe me when I say,Wigan are the team to aspire to,always have been and will be,the "loiners" are big enough in their own county,that's it.
You mention Phil Clarke,another fine rugby league player,who like Paul Lake at City,we will never know how far he could have gone,there is a City-Wigan similarity after all,but he does sing Wigan's praises,but we had years of that Stevo slating us at every opportunity.
Back to you,I don't have a problem with you being Manchester born and bred and supporting Leeds,although personally I find it a bit weird,in fact very strange,but you have your reasons,I'd like to see the reaction you would have if your car had stickers in the window,City and Leeds........
