I mean, apart from the points that are either gained or dropped, who really cares whether they beat Wigan or not?

It's because they've got some history, isn't it? Glory days in the past. You come to expect that glory to continue out of the 80s, and it never does/will. Meanwhile theres teams like Scunthorpe United who have never done anything worth acknowledgement.
