What does it mean to you to beat Wigan ?

Does it make your year ? Does it makes you dance for joy, reach for a kebab, make love to the ... ?

And what's it like losing to the old enemy ?

Do you kick the cat, reach for a stack of kebabs ?

We want to hear from you in 10 to a maximum of 50 words on just what it means to you beating and losing to your fiercest rivals.

The best responses will appear in a feature on derbies planned for the match programme for Millennium Magic which, of course, features the Saints-Wigan derby on Saturday February 12.

So let rip, but no swear words, please.

Look forward to reading them.

Good luck!

Losing to Wigan is the second worse thing that can happen in a season.
Losing in the grand final is the worst.

Losing to Wigan in the grand final would be too much to take... Oh wait icon_confused.gif

If im completely honest. Im glad Wigan are back up with the top teams. They are great games when both teams are on form.
It was Leeds I hated losing to the most for the last couple of years.

To me, losing to Wigan means we had lots of players injured. icon_wink.gif

But you should have the strength in your squad, so that when injuries occur the guys can step in and do a job, blaming injuries for defeats is condoning your teams woeful performance.

After so many losses to Wigan when they were a full time time team in the late 80's and early 90's,any defeat of Wigan is brilliant,even after all the trouncings we gave them a few years ago.Now they are Champions,it will be even better to beat them. icon_lol.gif

When faced with a superior rival in terms of support, history and form I'd be inclined to seek out the easy option too!

Given your logo is a skull I take it you'll be stabbing tourists on the bridge leading to the DW that we see you filtering down when you are on Sky with 20 minutes to go?

Or are you more of a flare and mass fighting in the stands organisation?

How many of you are there?

It will always mean a lot to turn the Pies over but over the last 5 years or so the rivalry with Leeds grew greater with a lot of St Helens supporters as we were fighting it out for honours every season while Wigan were average.

However......

With Wigan returning from the wilderness and Leeds probably in transition the Pies will be the team to beat for us Saints fans.

Probably the best feeling i've ever had leaving a game was after our legendary 41-6 tonking of Wigan at christmas 1992. The first time we'd give them such a hiding in my lifetime.

Now Wigan are back on top, beating them is even sweeter, not since the start of superleague have we both been the top two teams at the same time, the real derby is back, bring it on !
