| Quote: Coventry Warrior! "Well done Billy Big B0ll0cks, thank you for your loyal support. Maybe some fans cannot make the other games? If you look at Hull FC game for example, if they have an away like Saints did today then its easily 20000+.
What es me off, is people calling 'Bandwagoners'! These are the fans we need to get 20000+ attendances each week. I was glad we won today because it will encourage most of the fans who came to return in the future. But dont underestimate the power of the bandwagoner, look at Warrington for example...'"
Warrington's bandwagon is a quite a bit smaller than Wigan's, though. It's more of a bandtaxi...  |

And what exactly would Halifax - within spitting distance of Huddersfield and Bradford, no youth policy, poor financial history, currently bottom of the league, offer Super League? |

For us, going to a live game is a family day/night out, meaning 2 adults and at least 2 kids, maybe 3 if my eldest comes too. It's not something we can afford to do most weeks so we're usually crowded round the telly or radio together on other weeks. The big games are the obvious choice for fans who can't go every week. Sorry if we aren't up to your standard oh superfan. Great way to turn a sellout into a negative eh?

So what? Who in their right mind would bring friends or family that are new to the sport to games against Catalans or Wakefield? They would never come back!
Wigan also have more fans nationwide than people realise who can't get to all the games and therefore have to pick and choose which they go to.
But thanks for being such a great fan.

you sir are a knob,the kind of fan I detest the most..You may see yourself as some kind of superfan but slagging off people who don't attend every game(for whatever reason)doesn't improve the image of the club or yourself

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Afternoon KO on a public holiday or evening KO at the end of the working week; which gets the greater attendance?
Answers on a postcard please.

People come out with all sorts of reasons why they cant attend more than 2 games a season (saints & wire) work etc etc etc all these are terrible excuses and nothiing more. a true fan of any sport is someone who puts their @rses on the seats in the stadium of their teams through the good and bad times against not so glamourous opposition not just jumping on a bandwagon for 2 glamour games a year because the weathers good or because its a bank holiday

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 |

Your one-eyed view is barely worthy of comment, but if that is your only gripe after yesterday your life must be rather good.....  |

A true fan doesn't insult other fans for not coming to a game, you clearly are a kid who doesn't understand how much it can cost to attend games especially for families. |

Do you realise that to be successful the club needs the people who just turn up at the big games? The extra revenue along with the better atmosphere is hugely important and if it was down to muppets like you we wouldn't have any of that.
I'm sure it must be great to be standing up there on your moral high ground. But in terms of what is best for the club you are way off target. |

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 |
