Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| We were in the North Stand that had been opened for Wigan fans and it was almost full and then there was also Wigan fans in the other stand too. So my guesstimate would be somewhere between 1500-2000 today.
Good turn out again from us and a good win.

| There was loads of space in the North Stand to be honest. But there were plenty of Wigan fans in the East Stand - I would say 1500-1800, very impressive indeed.

You can put them down as a 'foe', thereby having their posts automatically hidden.
Works a treat

| Just got back and was pretty happy with the preformence tbh. I feared the worst when I saw the team and Coley was missing on top of guys like Lockers, Hansen and Roberts but I thought a few players really stepped up for us today. I thought Prescott and the returning Mossop really drove us forward along with Fielden who was very good again. I also thought Tuson and Farrell really worked their socks off and both look excellent prospects.
As for the backs you can't look beyond Sam Tomkins at fullback! He was exceptional and caused no end of problems in a position I believe he'd really excel in. I think people see it as a backwards step if he were to move fulltime but in the modern game an attacking fullback is so important and teams would really struggle to mark Sam out of games from that position like they've been trying to do from 6. He has to play 6 for the rest of this season because Deacon doesn't look capable of stringing enough games together to be a serious option but if we got another halfback in for next year I believe Sam being a regular fullback is a serious option.

| Who said 500???
There was a lot... We filled that stand behind the sticks, and at least a third of the side stand.

To be honest, I don't agree with the full-back sentiment. And I'm guessing that neither did Maguire, as he put Richards at FB to defend in the second half, and when attacking put Pat back on the wing with Sam attacking up the middle.

From what I saw today, from a defensive POV, Sam was shocking. He was caught out of position a couple of times and his overall reading of the game defensively was poor. Don't get me wrong though, his go-forward was his usual best, but for him to excel at FB, he's gonna need some coaching on how to defend effectively first.
On a side note, did anyone see why Joel got binned? I can only assume it was for back-chatting? If so, it was a daft thing to do seen as Ganson had already gave the penalty in our favour.

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

| I was at the Stoop today and i confirm there was 2000 + Wigan fans who generated a good atmosphere. Team were not on top form with quite a few errors but Quins were very poor. Sam did ok at full back but showed his inexeperience in the position at times. Good to see Ganson back, he loves the Wigan fans, even finished his warm up in front of us when there was no real reason to.

On the basis of "you're only as strong as your weakest member", Warrington fans have some serious problems to deal with. For every one or two decent ones we meet on here, there seem to be three of four like this latest f*****g idiot, who never tire of showing their a***s in public.
It's how desperate they appear that is the most embarrassing thing. Take today for example. A Quins fan reports that about 2K Wigan fans attended the match. This Wire prat, who is probably one of those who, since he watched his first game at Wembley last year, has immediately convinced himself that Wire are going to win everything, Wire are the best team, have the best coach, the best fans, that it's always sunny in Warrington, that Warrington people are better than everyone else etc, simply doesn't want to hear this kind of thing, because yet again it shows that there are certain aspects of the game where his club can't compete with ours.
So we get: "No you didn't take so many fans. You didn't. Please tell me you didn't. You simply didn't. It's just not fair. You brutes."
Pathetic.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Fantastic day out! Good performance... and way more than 500 Wigan fans...
Sam played well at FB despite one mistake, his running was superb and had the quins players standing off him.
