Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Think Rogues has already copyrighted that on the Saints board.

Shocker.

I am not biased; I'm not bothered who beats St. Helens.:9356.jpg |

More of a stampede than a stroll.

If one were to alliterate, one would expect the first phoneme of each word to be the same. In 'Wigan Walk' this condition is met by the 'W' phoneme. However, Sc and St do not fulfill this condition. The initial sound of each word is not the same. This occurs due to 'blending' where the sound is not formed by idividual letters.
In conclusion; Wigan walk, other fans are not so fickle.

I much prefer the 'stains stroll'. |

What was the difference from Knowlsey Road. Not a huge difference, I imagine.
Having said that, I expected a sell out. |

Answered my own question. 17,500 last year and 15,563 the year before for the regular season fixture. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

As I posted on the now locked thread on the Saints site.
"We left the Widnes Tech College Car Park at 10 p.m (The news was had just come on the radio) and we were back in Billinge at 10:25 p.m.
Not much traffic coming through St. Helens.
The St. Helens stroll had been and gone."
It is true, "mini rogue" was with me and Mrs Rogue will verify our time of arrival. What made me laugh on that thread a post from Allez which went like this.
"Hi Brain (sic).
First time you got near a College at 75 eh? You evidently never attended before - 'The news was had just come on the radio'. Pardon?
Pathetic even by your pathetic standards. Keep at the puzzle books and (inaccurate) stats compilation in retirement - sad state of affairs when this is what old people resort to in their senior years. Government cutbacks biting and all that...."
What he or she doesn't realise is that I spent eight years at Widnes College back in the late 1960's early 1970's so I know my way in and out of the town.
If the Saints fans are so stupid to go up Kingsway to go back to St. Helens then that's their fault.
We were on the tech car park at 10 p.m. and in Billinge for 10:25 end of story. |

To be honest though I prefer a better game from Saints. It makes the 'derby' more thrilling and entertaining. I hope they improve a bit.
