Doesn't seem to be any trace of it online, although someone on here might have a copy. As for the 'who you know' thing, I know a lot of Saints fans and barely any Widnes or Wigan fans but the latter two will always be bigger for me.

| Our traditional rivals are Widnes. Howver I like to beat Saints then Wigan. However the team that I would most hate to lose to is Widnes.....if you see what I mean.

I'm shocked by that to be honest mate, you spend alot of time on their board hugging and kissing them and they pretty much do what they want on here, apart from the odd time when the sheriffs badge is used properly.
I don't actually dislike Wigan as a club. They were a pleasure to watch growing up and that 1994 WCC team was the best team I ever seen. It's their young, idiotic, walking through town centre, ripping off United songs, Rambo wannabe bellends who come on here I can't stand, oh and Rogues.

I expect you hate a lot of Wire fans then because we have plenty of the same kind. That's usually the argument from the Wigan fans why they hate us the most, because of that same demographic of supporter. You tend to turn more of a blind eye to them when they support your own club but they irritate you when they come from other clubs.

| I don't hate any other team beacuse I'm a grown up but, to paraphrase Sean Long, I like to see Wigan's nose rubbed in the s*** at every opportunity. Mainly because when I was little, they were awesome. So destructive were they on my psyche, that I created a Rugby League board game based on dice, just so that I could engineer victories against them. However, as Wigan were the only full time team in those days, I had to use loaded dice for their go so they still beat us. The rotters.
To a lesser extent, widnes, for similar reasons to Wigan. If it wasn't 100% clear how far they have fallen in that "rivalry" then the sight of a young lad in his 20's screaming "WORLD CHAMPS 89" at me near Central Station the other month made sure. Sad. They used to sing "you'll never win f all". When we eventually do win the WCC (and it will happen, obviously) then god only knows what they'll throw at us then.

So basically Wigan were so bent that they even managed to get a child to rig his board game in their favour

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Wigan were never "the only full time team", but whatever gets you through the day.

| For a time their first team was wholly full time. Unlike ours where the likes of Fozzie, Thornley, Thomas, Lyon etc had other jobs.

Soz, you and Leeds. You can stop staring at the lightbulb fitting now (and no, it wouldn't hold your weight).
