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 - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Love it! Was right near them! All leigh fans, I turner round shouting bus stop in wigan.

Very sad from those fans who were singing it yet unsurprising.

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

Don't let your love turn to hate Now we've got to keep the faith Wigan Rugby League:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_35345.jpg



Absolutely pathetic today. How anyone would feel the need to slag off another club during an international is beyond me. People wonder why some of our top talent go to RU, well, it's because small minded idiots like you won't let our game flourish internationally. You are more than happy in your little local bubble and to hell with anything else. Well F**k you lot singing the anti Wigan songs today. Don't ever turn up to another England international again. Also those who retaliated and sang anti Saints/Wire songs, the same goes for you. There was no need, it ruined the day. If you cannot get behind the team - regardless of what club they place for, stay the hell away from future games.

Another very good reason for NEVER taking another International game there.

It's pathetic. People just have their club loyalties and then that's it. They seem to forget that England is a separate team, and rather than all get behind the team, they'd rather just snipe at each other.

Leigh, the town of six fingered inbreds. Anyone with a child playing amateur RL in Wigan will know what a fantastic experience it is to travel into the land that time forgot to see their kid playing in front of the worst specimens the human race could ever wish to develop.
The sort of place in which you will hear mums with more facial hair than Jamie Jones Buchannan encouraging their sons to 'kill the pie eating b*st*rds' (this is at under 7s and 8s by the way).
Little wonder that by the time they reach the age of 13-14 most Leigh team fall by the wayside. Once they develop, their cavemanlike postures slow them down, probably due to the friction from their knuckles dragging along the ground.
Super League would be wasted on them. Thankfully the powers that be have more sense (Please God, let me be right).

I recon if rugby league got more violent it’d be more popular.

Just look at what publicity football hooligans got for their sport. Any publicity is good publicity.

Hope they never get another test match
Hope they never get a super league franchise
Small time team with small time mentality stuck in the dark ages.

Quote: Jimmy Birts Lives On "And as for singing 'I'd rather be a paki than a pie'.

Cringeworthy. That line was cringeworthy in the 1980's let alone the 21st century.
Imagine what people tuning in to RL for the first team might think when they hear something like that.

Not doing their Super League hopes any favours at all'"

Sorry mate, as you know I've been watching Leigh for nearly 20 years and I've never heard that song being sung - I've only ever heard "I'd rather be a pasty than a pie" as was sung tonight. I was stood with a group of crust munchers (a couple of whom post on here) and they took it in the manner that it was intended.

I've only missed one England game in this hemisphere in the past 5 years and, despite the club-centric chants from any number of clubs, tonight's crowd was actually more supportive of the England side than I've heard in a long, long time.
