TBH I don't think this will be the last Saints Wigan clash at KR I can see a play off or a cup game being played as well.

| Quote: Deano G "I'll continue this unlikely love-in by saying that I'll miss KR. I don't envy what you will have to go through at the end of this season. The last game at CP was a very sad day. I know many of you will claim it will be different for you because your new stadium will be "yours" and we were moving to a shared stadium, and perhaps it will to some extent, but it wasn't so much where we were going but what we were leaving behind that was really the sad part. Leaving a ground with so many memories and so much history to move to a modern, soulless stadium is difficult, particularly when the recent history was so glorious. Its going to be a very sad season for you, but at least your players seem up for giving the old ground a good send off.'"
I'll be gutted to see the end of KR. It's a piece of history, even with it's leaks, unsafe terracing and roofless toilets.
Obviously excited about the new stadium, it's essential for the club to progress. But when standing at KR visualising some of the truly magical moments you've witnessed there, is one of life's greatest joys. I'll blub like a baby when they finally close the doors on the old girl. |

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 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  |

I agree with that except for the blubbing bit. |
