Quote: Grandtour "Over recent time there has been more and more posts on both RL Fans Warrington and Saints RedVee from members showing their dislike for both teams, clubs even the towns and people.
Nothing wrong with banter and everyone is entitled to opinion but sometimes posts go OTT in my view.
This has got me thinking why such dislike.
Yesterday I was talking to a mate of my mine who is a decent Saints fan (and before somedody shouts - yes there are many decent saints fans) and I asked him why is their such dislike of the wire.
He told me that Saints fans now dislike Wire as a club more than their bitterest rivals Wigan. Why I asked. Answer "Wire don't focus and give youth a chance. At least Wigan do". I pushed him on this and he went on to say Wire sooner buy players from other clubs at the expense of giving youth a chance. To be fair he has a point. Latest posts past days "Buy Eddy Battye" comes to mind. Similar points in other posts re getting other players (props - Fifita, Watts etc).
I asked him if the fact wire have money men running the club having the funds to buy players is the issue and is it jealousy? Answer was a sound "no".
Thoughts on this welcomed but also what are wire reasons for dislike of Saints and other clubs?'"
Ask him how many juniors saints had in their team when they won their first superleague title, im sure paul newlove(record transfer fee), scott gibbs, karle hammond, bobbie goulding, vila matatutia, adam fogerty, alan hunte, phil veivers, apollo perelini and derek mcvey all say bockle,and wurr.
