No trees were harmed during the creation of this post. However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced. . Saint94 wrote "Every team is in your feckin shadow....we all know." - Amen to that, brother . Saddened! wrote "We've got the worst backline in the competition, bar possibly London and Wakey. I'd swap our 1-7 with Salford in a heartbeat.":123.jpg



TBH, we had intended to stay for all 3 games.

Got in to the stadium about 1:30 and really enjoyed the Cas match, then (of course) fully enjoyed ours.

However, at half-time in the Stains walkover, we decided to get a head-start, so that we could just take our time.

Funnily though, on our way back to the Park&Ride, we passed both Hull KR (can't blame 'em) AND Stains fans.

It's time to either bin this idea (which IMO would be a shame), or bite the bullet and admit that we need to use a smaller stadium, closer to the heartlands.

How about the City of Manchester, but switch the event to the LAST Bank Holiday weekend in May, so that the football season is over and done with?

I'm sure we could get 35-40k PER DAY, which would look awesome on the TV, rather than it showing a mostly empty stadium, getting even more empty with each passing match.

"I read somewhere that Leeds-Bradford is an airport, Wigan-St Helens is a rivalry. I can't wait to play my first game against them.":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41627.jpg



We just went for the sunday got there around 1330 watched the cas game and ofcourse the WIGAN game and decided when saints went 20-0 up that was enough, there wasnt many from saints 2 small sets of fans at opposite ends of the ground, the ground/weather was very cold and like another poster i heard SKY dimissing the CC like they have the showpiece event which they know is the CC.

[quote="siagg"]Dave is very good at what he does.[/quote]:3688.jpg



My best moment was managing to keep the Wigan haters behind me quite with my constant praise for Locky which really wound them up considering they wanted him hanged after his little push on Robinson.

But the one thing that does stand out is not really Magic at all. When we were on the coach waiting to leave a small group of Saints fans walked past singing St Helens and pointing to their badges, fair enough really, until my nine-year old son pulled his tongue out at them for being Saints fans. One lad the proceeded to aim a w*nker hand signal at my son calling him a f-ing w*nker, very brave to do that to a child, the worst thing is my lad thought it was his fault for pulling his tongue at them.

Most of the fans we spoke to were brilliant, but once again the minority always show themselves up.

another magic moment ... being in the murrayfield hotel and a cas fan walking in during the first half of the cas game. he was either very lost, very drunk, had been kicked out or a combination of the 3!

Got to say for me it was the Wigan players mingling around with the fans as they went back to the coach. Managed to get photos of my little brother with most of the players as well as Maguire and Wane, and his hero Pat Richards signed his shirt, and one of the substitution cards that a member of the club staff gave him. Really made my brothers day, full credit to the players and coaches! Was nice to hear maguire say the win was us "getting back on the horse". icon_thumb.gif And when a quite merry ( icon_biggrin.gifRUNK: ) fan offered to buy Sams boots he replied "ah I can't mate, I need these for next week!". Also stu fielden saying he had to be careful cos they would leave without him and he'd get a fine, but "Where's that lockers? As long as he doesn't go I'm ok, they wouldn't leave without him!".

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach. Sat 27th April 2002 St Helens 12 Wigan 21 Edinburgh - Sat 4th May 2002 Celtic 2 Rangers 3 Glasgow (Carlsberg dont do weeks, but if they did.....) //www.internationalrugbyleague.net/:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36409.jpg

That surely brings a smile to any Wigan fans face icon_biggrin.gif

My highlights were when the players coming off the field (wearing my Wigan top of course) i shook hands with Kev Brown and Luke Robinson and they were both very pleasant and meaningful, Credit to both guys! I could see Ian lenaghan lookin at this drunken Jock in a wigan shirt shaking hands with players of both teams whilst thinkin wtf?!?!
I even Bought a Wire fan a beer on Rose St and had 3 pints of Guinness in a Celtic pub when i got back to Glasgow (long story Liam) hey i musta been in a good mood!
Fantastic weekend again, much better feel to it than Cardiff (imo) and it'll be such a shame if this concept is shelved.

Oh, and every single Wigan fan i saw/spoke to seemed to be enjoying themselves icon_biggrin.gif

Like Barrett he is a myth. He is solid enough, he can catch, he can kick goals.[/quote:15kig0eg]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7958.jpg



If fans dont even stay for each others games, then really what is the point of this weekend???
