| Quote: The Reaper "Bit weird to be trying to use the 2021 final as a feather in your cap when travel restrictions meant Catalan couldn’t bring as much as they could have and many people were still very wary about leaving their homes and going to mass gatherings etc. you also had 58k more than the 2020 final, impressive!
58k is a decent enough crowd tbf. Could have been worse. I would however expect a fairly decent following when it’s your first final in 5 years and your fans are by and large confident of a win. I do think last year’s crowd was pretty poor too, tho I don’t think it held much intrigue as a contest and fair weather saints fans were probably a bit blase about it by then and I doubt many neutrals would have wanted go for what was always very likely to be yet another saints victory.
Would have been interested to see what the crowd would have been for a Wigan v Saints final this year though. Really think the rivalry, positivity around Wigan, nervousness about the result from both sides, neutral intrigue etc could have led to the biggest crowd for a long time. Ah well. Maybe next year!'"
Not trying to score points pal just quoting facts. How many do you think Catalans brought last Saturday? I am afraid that you have just put a bunch of excuses forward as to why Saints fans didn’t travel. Personally, I would have liked a full house and probably the only way that can happen is a Wigan v Saints final. |

| Quote: Stu M "I’ve never denied Wigan are the biggest name in the game.
I don’t know why last years attendance was poor, I can only suggest that some stayed away because they felt the result was a foregone conclusion.
However the attendance for the 2019 GF was 64,000 so 6,000 more than Saturday. Now unless you’re going to tell me Salford brought 30,000 that’s a hell of an attendance don’t you think?'"
It was a good attendance but I can tell you that Salford had considerably more fans at OT than Catalans. I’m not sure why you Saints fans are so touchy, my post was about a fact not a dig at Saints. You guys want to make an argument about anything it reminds me of Utd and City prior to the last 10 years or so, small team mentality syndrome but neither Saints or City fall into that category. I can only assume that the hatred of Saints fans is far deeper than I thought and most are not honest enough to acknowledge it. |

Clinging on for dear life the saints fans. They dominated the covid era of the sport and are all panicking now. |

| I think we should just be pleased with a decent attendance, All credit to the Wigan fans (and I was one of them), but we needed a good crowd, and we got it. And there were a lot more Cats fans than I expected. Some of them even spoke French!  |

Has there been any update on Havard ?
Did he take himself off because he felt his hamstring tightening or did it go altogether again ?
