| The Wigan Saints rivalry is testament to the 2 clubs history. Long may this last because the day Wigan or Saints don't have a reason to be the fiercest of rivals then Rugby League will be the worse for it. Both clubs have led the world of rugby league and like it or not, their is so much common ground between the two towns. Both have always taken pride in not just playing rugby league but playing with class and so many of the games between the two teams have been decided by something special. These games don't need hype, pre match entertainment or rousing anthems, it all happens in the 80 minutes. Essentially, what would we do without Saint Helens??

| its a shame, that some supposed wigan fans who didnt go to the game, who got taxis in at half time and caused a lot of trouble in the town centre, spoilt a great day, for both sets of fans. The atmosphere was brill, I think the standing at both ends added to this it was like the old days. the taxi firm should have sussed this out and refused to take them.

i hated saints for years but you can't argue with their history, not 2 challenge cups in 97 years and they are the champions elect every year?? they have lost the grand final 5 years on the trott not just won 2 cups on 117 years like the wire 'people' who according to stevo et al have already won this year
how does it go
wire wherever you may be....

Think you're kind of proving my point. It's because of their history that I hate them. They are our closest rivals in every sense of the word so how people have been cheering for them over wire in recent years baffles me.
If they'd won nothing I'd have some sort of pity for them like I used to do for Wire

Used to?
2 challenge cups can't have changed much surely?

| oh but it has i was there every time we got knocked out of the challenge cup and watch wigan home and away, after the match we were in weatherspoons stains and there was some singing but nothing major, but the saints fans(rightly) who we were with said would they do that in the lord nelson after just beating wire, we all agreed that if they did ambulances would have to be called
