Slightly o/t but have the plans to move the away game to anfield/goodison fallen through? The Wigan site says the game is at Widnes.

AFAIK the game is to be played at Widnes though there are rumours going around St.Helens that they might play at Goodison. |

the feeling when we beat them at KR for the last derby was just pure pride (and a bit of relief)
the feeling when we beat them in the GF was pure relief and overwhelming pride.
It makes it worthwhile being a Wigan fan for moments like those!

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

Nothing else matters. The atmosphere after the game in Edinburgh and after the last dery at KR explains it all.

More than just two points. It's a permanent 'loss' to Wigan etched in the history books for eternity. Bragging rights till the next encounter. Defeat is not an option.

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

It means more than twice as much as any other game - Not only do you take the usual pride and joy from the victory, you take just as much pride and joy in their loss and suffering, and also sense relief that their loss and suffering is not yours.

Beating Saints as a Wigan fan means everything.
Pride. Passion. Blood. Sweat. Tears.
The best derby in Rugby League. Leeds v Bradford? Hull v Hull KR? No comparison.
Defeat isnt an option.

Beating Saints means waking up the next day and then smiling instead of waking up and then getting that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as you remember the result.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

Just get that warm glow inside.
Let's be honest, they've bossed it over the last decade, and barring the odd result they have well and truly had the upper hand. It has been a barometer of how far behind them we have been. Just get the feeling that it is hopefully our turn to sit in the driving seat for a while, and see how far ahead of them we are? Or am I getting carried away?
We are favourites for all competitions at the start of this season for the first time in a long time. Really hope we kick on and play to our potential so we can have the bragging rights back for a few years. We will see.
