The moment they are in a final 30,000 turn up but when they lose they moan and say they won't turn up for the biggest game of the year.'"
Reminds me of a side in the early 90s... |

I have missed the last 2 games through illness and unless I win the lottery in the next week I won't be going to Quins but I can't wait to get to the Wigan game and get back into it - win lose or draw I would much rather be there to see it than be stuck home watching it on sky/listening on the radio and I am sure most on here (regardless of who they support) feel the same.

I don't get it. That wasn't boring to watch tonight, maybe frustrating but not boring. The weather leveled the game up and Saints got made to pay for not having a goalkicker.
Kneejerk reaction for people to be saying they're packing it up.'"
Nah, they said they would be going to watch Wigan but if we didn't perk up then they wouldn't be bothering again for the season. Sorry if it came out wrong.
I couldn't call it knee-jerk because I stand with those guys at every home game - I only see them at matches - and they started off as enthusiastic as everyone else. I've watched them slowly become a bit disillusioned with the way Saints are playing this season compared to previous years.
However, I don't reckon that's the reason for only 8,500 turning up tonight. More likely that it was raining and cold and on Sky. |

Not seen Saints play much this year as I no longer have Sky Sports. When you say its boring, what has changed? |

Not having a go at your attendances in the slightest. They've been pretty good this year and i'm a believer that if you move to your new stadium you won't be averaging far off what we get.
The bigger the crowds at all rugbyleague matches the better for everyone involved in the game.
I still can't believe some of the moans and groans on here at losing a game against Wakefield with a few players missing, on a horrible night with no goalkicker..........it's not the end of the world and has little bearing on what will happen in the big games at the end of the season.
Boring or not and as much as it pains me to say i'd put my last quid on you having a treble in the cabinet at the end of the year. |

It was a shocking attendance for the top of the league no matter what excuse you mite come up with weather etc.. if people are bored with you winning i cant see your crowds growing cos your losing unlike at wigan. The number of WAFC shirts in your town is very alarming.

Less flair, more errors, a sense of malaise/apathy about the team (with exceptions: at Wire, at Leeds for the CC round, Leeds at KR, Wakey away). |

Jesus, what is the world coming to when the most reasonable posts on a thread on the Saints board are from Wigan and Warrington fans...

I'm in St. Helens fairly often as I work there and have family there and I agree. St Heleners wouldn't go round with Wigan jerseys on so why the hell do they go around with latics jerseys on? |

But we were averaging 15,000 attendances in the league in 1995. |

Well, you wouldn't expect Wigan and Warrington fans to be upset/bothered/somewhat irate at Saints losing, now, would you? So likewise you would hardly expect them to be less reasonable than Saints fans following a loss of the great team that is St Helens.  |

I would actually expect Saints fans, who are following a team that is top of the league and in the CC semi final be more reasonable yes. I'd expect fans of other teams to be trolling, yet it appears that they don't have to.
We lost a game by 2 points. A game played in atrocious weather, with no recognised goal kicker, with a second rower playing scrum half, with two senior players playing their first game after injury (one having had surgery), a very inexperienced pack with only 3 recognised props. A game in which we actually scored more tries than the opposition and they only scored 2 of theirs due to our mistakes.
Would I expect Saints fans to be more reasonable, rather than crying things like 'Potter Out!'. Yes, I would.
Added to that, comments along the line of 'We shouldn't be losing to a team like Wakefield' scream arrogance of the highest order.'"
