SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Mini and I were just discussing it. He said that Saints had been pretty fortunate over the past three years with the draws. |

I agree, If you go back to 2004 we had the top 5 form SL all away from KR so it's swings and roundabouts really.
Had a few nice home ties over last few though. |

If the Grade A Stadium at Headingly isn't available due to concerns of crowd size and safety the game could always be played at Elland Road. |

I can't remember the ruling but I think for a cup game they have to give Saints 25% of the tickets.

Something I suggested. But the combined ST holders are more than the capacity, plus the certificate only allows for so many away fans, again, less than we can take.

Well how many season ticket holders hae you got? If it's 8k you'll be OK as the ground holds 20,500 and we have 12k season ticket holders... give or take a few.

And the reality of it is all those season ticket holders will not go to the game for whatever reason, particularly the ones from Saints.
Travel costs, working, on t.v etc.
The difficult bit maybe that Leeds have to give 25% of their seating capacity up.
Is that feasible, i.e. how many seating season ticket holders are there at the two clubs?

FWIK saints have around 6.5k season ticket holders, and we have around 12k season ticket holders, if you bring all your 6.5k season ticket holders (can you see it), and im sure that most of ours will take it up, we should get a capacity crowd at headingley.
NOTE :- our away stand holds around 4k FWIR, so im sure that will be given some seating tickets.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I'm glad you said that.
It's not in my nature.

If it were at home I'd be delighted, I bet Leeds are cock-a-hoop about the draw. They get the only team with a realistic chance of beating them at home, it's the cup final in the 4th round.
For us it means either a massive step towards winning another cup, or a defeat that means we'll have 4 or so more weeks off more than Leeds, plus no big draining days out in the London heat.
Losing to Leeds in the cup, which is very likely given our slow start, could present our best chance of winning the GF.

Remember we havent really started great too. In reality though the game is a month away and anything could happen in the time being. |
