I hope so but I just can't see it. I'm not sure I could take another knock-out game at your place as well. I will really miss KR, it has unique atmosphere for us Wigan fans. As well as it having a nice low roof with a proper terrace for away fans, we have had some of the biggest highs and some of the lowest of lows behind those shabby old posts. We have had some great moments, like coming from behind with Luke Robison and many more.... going from that to losing 75-0, it really does hit home how bad times were! Besides Wigan and Saints being two of the best and biggest clubs in the game, I don't think that it what makes this the best derby, but something special happens when the two teams take to the field, you can always be sure something entertaining will happen when boths teams take to the field.
I love the banter but also the respect between our two clubs. I hate saints but would be gutted if they were to ever go down.
I will miss KR alot when it's gone but lets hope the last derby there gives it the send off it well and truely deserves. The best game of the super league season with the biggest atmosphere!
The move to the new stadium will be great for your club and it will increase your support and income which is great for RL, it's great to see so many fans happy with the move as this was not the case with us and CP. I have mixed emotions though, as while I will miss KR, I also can't wait to see the 2 teams take to the field in the new stadium for a new era of epic encounters!
No other derby in any sport will ever be the same as this derby clash, it is unique in so many ways and lets hope thats the way it stays!
Can't wait for good friday! May the best team win, and lets hope for a great game. Tomkins to score the last try
