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

Easy next season if the marketing team carry on as they have done!
2 sell-outs (or close to) against Wire and Saints
Quins game will be a target and I'm sure they will try and pass the 20k mark
Leeds game will hopefully pull more than this year, hopefully over 18k
We will no doubt sell around 2k more season tickets than this year
I am certain that the marketing team will pull something else out of the hat
If the team can emulate this season or improve then we will see a natural increase. I think we will win more home games next season as well which should help. The losses at home to Quins, Wire and Saints really put a downer on things at home. |

Leicester Tigers are the top dogs. Just nipped onto their site (which is in exactly the same layout/format as ours) & looked at their attendances for last season & I can safely say we're a fair amount behind them.  |

Well we won't reach those figures for quite some time yet unless we have a huge price drop.
I will never understand why they get such high crowds. No doubt they will be filling Welford road when it is increased to 30,000 as well.

Have we announced a new CEO? What about sponsors? Where is the statement about Gareth Hock? What about Stuart Fielden's contract?
The club is a shambles. |

I can't for a moment comprehend why Union is seen as the better sport. It is ridiculously boring. I would love a die-hard Union fan to tell me what it is they see that is so attractive about the game. |

I would never claim to be a "die-hard" RU fan, I enjoy watching the odd game on tv, but I haven't been to a live game since the early 90's.
The main thing ( though not the only thing) I enjoy about RU is the forward play. The contest at the scrum, ruck and maul, and to a lesser extent lineout. Watching a prop slowly dismantle his opponent over the course of a match; the body position of a wing forward such as McCaw entering the ruck/maul; the timing of the lift/jump/throw at a lineout; the footwork of a No8 at the scrum etc etc I find the technical aspects of the forward play fascinating. |

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 |

And who will have the lowest body fat content next season when John Walker has gone?
