I would mean the world and more to me if Wigan beat saints tomorrow evening , it's been 12 years since that trophy sat in it's rightful place , let's hope wigan can put them 12 years behind them and return to their throne as the Kings of RL .

Come on the Warriors , lets bring the trophy home .

LeagueFreak 25/03/2011 For reference, Wigan is like the Roman Empire. Warrington is like the pillow fort I built in my bedroom when I was 9. Ok, 26... Formally Yorkshiretillidie....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_37250.gif

Would mean everything. Im not as old as some on here icon_wink.gif so not seen the glory days. I've had a season ticket since 2000 when i was 10 so only seen us win the Challenge Cup in 2002. I've seen us get to finals at OT and lose every time and i've stood at headingley while we got battered 70-0 and then Knowsley road the next week 75-0. I'll be in tears if we win tomorrow.

23 - 20 - 4 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



A win for me would totally erase all of the disappointments of the last decade or so, and there's been plenty of them. In a sense, it would make all the heartbreak worth it just to truly appreciate our return to trophy-winning success.

Whatever happens, it'll be an emotional night.

[color=#000000:3fno8grb]Rugby Union: When entertainment just isn't your thing. [/color:3fno8grb]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30366.jpg



Quote: You're not famous anymore "It is just Saints you would beat. I dont know anybody who has said Wigan are not a force, nor anyone who has said they are finished. Wigan will never again dominate British RL. I certainly know of nobody who has said Wigan are no longer famous. You have cheated. Siege mentality is all well and good but in this case it is very, very false.
'"


You have no idea what it is like to be a Wigan fan in the noughties. Plenty of chants/taunts have been aimed at Wigan saying that we're not a force anymore. Particularly at your ground. "You're not famous anymore", "you're not Wigan anymore" etc.

Wigan never cheated either. They broke the spirit of the cap - the spirit of the cap doesn't exist. We deferred payments to stay under the cap. Nothing in the laws of the game against that. Not ethical, but perfectly legal. And anyway, does a Saints fan really want to discuss cheating?

Quote: You're not famous anymore "Plain stupidity.'"


You'd never understand. You've never seen your side play like the Wigan in the 90's. And you've never had a coach who would be brought to tears just making his pre-match/half-time speech.

Quote: You're not famous anymore "Well, erm, you aint. Not exactly rocket science'"


You are exactly the kind of person I'm referring to.

Quote: You're not famous anymore "Emulating the greats ? Are you not embarassed by this post ? You're in your first final for 8 years and now you're 'emulating the greats'. Funny stuff.'"


Not at all. Wigan have every chance of emulating them.

Quote: You're not famous anymore "Yawn. '"


Hurts, doesn't it?

Quote: You're not famous anymore "There will be a large crowd support for both sides. Lets not get carried away.'"


Have you sold out your end now?

I guarantee the Wigan support will be more vociferous than the Saints lot.

Quote: You're not famous anymore "Nonsense, utter nonsense. It would mark a return from being distinctly average to being a competitor. Welcome to the big boys table, its been a while.'"


Quote: You're not famous anymore "Yawn. '"


Quote: You're not famous anymore "Try and convince yourselves all you like that the rugby world hates you, they dont. '"

I think some people are a little rattled. To be expected.

We lifted the trophy and he gave up and passed away 5 days later. His photo will be with me tomorrow so we can see the game together again. There will be lots of happiness and also sadness that he will not be with me in person to see it.'"



Cracking post there mate. Your Dad would have been proud, and I genuinely hope it is a good day for you.

I went to the final against Leeds, but I can't remember it. Sure I was at the cup final in 2002, but I didn't quite appreciate as much then as I would now.

A very touching post - particularly at this point in my life. My mum's been recently diagnosed with breast cancer and a win on saturday would just put a little shine on what has otherwise been a very turbulent year personally for me & my family.

In a nutshell: you wont be the only one in tears if we win on Saturday!
