| Quote: fez1 "As a contest it was a none starter.
London gave away stupid penalties and that was disappointing. It heaped pressure on themselves time and time again. They didn't do the basics right - from losing the ball many times in the tackle (a little was due to Wigan pressure, but the majority not) to not marking up at the ptb (how basic was the error that led to the first try?).
Tony Rae is a good coach imo and he must be very frustrated by what he's seeing.
The squad isn't performance anywhere near their potential - and that's a little reminiscent of the end of the Cullen / Lowes era.
It can be turned around - Smith did - but so much in our sport relies on confidence and at London it's near enough rock bottom.
I really feel for David Hughes who's pumped lots of money in and had no return. He doesn't deserve to be goin gthrough this. I only hope he realizes we do want his support in our game.'"
Disagree with both the points underlined
Tony Rea is a dreadful coach who was sacked under The now Wigan Chairman Ian Leneghan, bringing him back was only marginally better than Powell, see Craig Gowers assessment of him.
David Hughes is for want of a better word a fool, as they say a fool and his money are easily parted. He hired Gus Mackay who has been dreadful for the club, he's also tried to play hardball with a governing body that don't give a monkeys about them so there's only ever going to be one winner there. He's minted but do you know what, they might actually be better off without him. They'd actually be better off moving to The Hive and selling to Anthony Kleanthous.

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 |

| I have looked at the boards of Leeds, Saints and Wire this morning to read comments posted... This is the board with the most negative comments about Wigan, BY FAR, when in truth its London that are the problem. Lets see how many turn up today from two "well supported" teams.....

Having just read the entire thread and noted that most of the comments are about London's display (or lack of it), I fail to see how you can come to that conclusion. The few posts that mention the attendance are correct though. The fact that the game was at Leigh, which is part of the Wigan Borough and only a few miles from Wigan Town Centre should have ensured a full house. Take note of similar circs in 2010 when we played Catalans at Widnes. We filled the place.

| Personally I don't get all this slating Wigan's fans over the attendance v London.How many Wire supporters would gone to say Widnes if we'd have got London?I'd have guessed that quite a few woukd have guven it a miss especially in this financial climate not to mention a day out to Wembley not being cheap.No disrespect to London but whoever played them in the semi was guaranteed a place in the final.

From a Warrington point of view were travelling 70 miles. How far did your lot not travel yesterday? Isn't Leigh within the Wigan postsl area? Bye bye

| It's a good job Warrington have never been heavily stuffed to nil in a semi-final before.

| Yesterday was a dark day for our sport ..Cup Semi Final in front of a ground roughly a third full.
But worst of all was the shame London brought to our game.
No wonder we can't get any sponsors I mean who would want to be associated with this kind of occasion.
Their total lack of passion or even interest was blatently apparent.
I bet Jamie Soward is on line at this moment booking the next flight back home.
Lets hope Wire and Hull can do something to repair the damage this afternoon.

| TBH it doesn't look like a great crowd today - but why, in the name of bleeding Jesus, would you put the semi at 7pm on a Sunday?! I know we've ranted about it, but come on, do the RFL not think people have to work on a Monday morning?
Anyone else want to launch an Egyptian style coup and overthrow the RFL "leadership"?!

No, but you was putting shame to the English language.

Is your attempt at the English language any better?
