Welsh Wigan - Why

Can someone enlighten me as to why scumsea are called "Welsh Wigan"?

Is it because people have heard of the place but don't know where it is?

because all their fans are munters and have about 4 teeth between them

6 fingers.
Bad teeth
Peg sellers
Small cocks (on the women)
Big holes in there arses (on the men)
Don't travel week days
Small cocks on the men
Shit town with shit fans
I'm sure theres a ton more

team full of pedro kickabouts

Surely something to do with Away attendances, what I thought anyway.

Generally a small club. Wigan have always seemed out of place in the Prem and their crowds show that

A shit town out of there depth

we play in the premier league?

Because their support is pathetic for a premiership club, just like Wigan.

The real reason? Or the reason we are urged to say?

The real reason is, after years of fans from this club genuinely believing Cardiff are bigger than Swansea - it's now not as clear and they are beginning to doubt their own stance with Swansea about to win a major trophy, which will bring European football and have already cemented themselves at a top half/ mid table premiership side. This has forced some people to lash out and try to belittle them to cling on to any superiority they feel they have left, although its a pretty poor effort. This is manifested with the notion that "They have poor support" - again we all know they don't really which is why some decide to lie about it. A prime example being taking 287 or something to Liverpool when in fact the stadium was a sell out.

They are doing a cracking job and instead of trying and failing to belittle them maybe we should all concentrate on getting our own house in order as currently we are wearing red to our home games and insulting anyone who wishes to wear blue.

Hope my answer wasn't too honest, although I suspect it was. Sue me.

What sue you for being swansea lover? Nah just feel sorry for you!

Not a Swansea lover at all. Just answering the question honestly. Fed up of all the bullshit to be honest.

because it makes you feel better about supporting a joke of a club if you can try and devalue what is happening at ours , and when i read all the answers on this thread it really brings home how small-time and bitter you have become

UP THE REDS

And we are about to take away your only hold over us by winning a cup,and with us being in the top flight twice in the last 33 years and u?well f**k nows we are on the verge of taking over as walws biggest and success full club.
Ps and we still have our tradition.
Fire and passion lads??

Because they cant believe their luck, everyone knows the bubble will shortly pop and they keep looking to see what the bigger clubs down the road are doing.

For proof look at all the threads above and below from gypos trying to convince us and themselves. (some in disguise, some written by six year olds.)

There are a number of serious reasons why fans of other Premier League clubs call them the Welsh Wigan.
1) They both try to play a similar style of football.
2) They both have over performed for their size and budgets.
3) They are both in areas more traditionally associated with rugby.
4) They both have limited appeal and so small potential fan bases.
5) They are both neighboured by much bigger cities.
6) They both attract rugby and football fabs in good times and sing football and rugby sings.

I think you'd all agree that is quite a lot of similarities.

You keep on telling yourself that.

No they don't.

2) They both have over performed for their size and budgets.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Do you know their budget then? Their income last year was £64 million.

3) They are both in areas more traditionally associated with rugby.

like us with Newport and e blues on our doorsteps you mean?

4) They both have limited appeal and so small potential fan bases.

According to whom? They have sold out every home league game since the latter part of the 09/10 season. You seem to be basing these assumptions on nothing.

5) They are both neighboured by much bigger cities.

[url]As are every club outside London[/url]

what rubbish you are spouting. If my above post needed anything to back it up then this post exudes the proof

You could also make a case for calling us the welshbarca play the same style, fans from both clubs have a big say in the running of both clubs, you can make a case to compare any club to any other club, who could we caopare cardiff too.

Did I really read some deluded tw*t compare Swansea City with Barcelona?!

does that make barcelona the spanish wigan?

This whole thread is deluded Barry. Swansea are nothing like Wigan and they are nothing like Barcelona.

As soon as this forum gets rid of half is crap and people start talking in reality the better for me.

Can someone enlighten me as to why scumsea are called "Welsh Wigan"?

Is it because people have heard of the place but don't know where it is?

I think I prefered my explanation

By the way - good luck to Bradford

i just thought, if we go by El Tels explanation are bradford the yorkshire version of wigan?

so tomorrow effectively is wigan vs wigan?

You're deluded if you are comparing little old Swansea Town as of a comparable size to Bradford City which as a city is nearly as big as Cardiff and so much bigger than Swansea.

A small club with shit support, but in the Prem.
