Quote: Stu M "Exactly. Not sure why he is trying to point score here, really poor comparison. We also went to Wembley that year so lots of expense from Saints fans going there too.
As you say Covid was still prevalent in 2021 and lots were still wary of attending sporting events.'"
This is nothing to do with points scoring it is a fact you can choose to like or not. For some reason it irks you, and I am surprised that you are so tetchy Stu given the facts speak for themselves. An increase of 13,000 is is a big difference irrespective of whether Saints fans were worried about the effects of catching a cold in 2021, anyway let’s treat 2021 as an outer and ignore it. Given that you want, for some reason, to argue against the facts and accuse me of ‘points scoring’, when that was not my intention, the crowd in 2022 does not look great when compared to Saturday’s attendance. You cannot use the excuse of the CC Final last season as (remember it was Wigan v Huddersfield in the final), and COVID was a relevantly distant memory, so what was it?
Like it or not, Wigan are the biggest name in the game. Although I do agree that Wigan v Saints is the biggest tie in the game.
