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

As 21-12 says, we've got a full gantry but no harm in swapping and changing week after week or just having some for away games.

Could we not put some over the away stand? Especially the one about 8 in a row. That sure would annoy them! |

| Quote: twosevenzero "Here's a few to consider before Dallas,............. Joe Egan, captained Wigan to C.Cup win in 1948, 2 Championship wins, 362 apps, later returned as coach from 1956 to 1961, playing a key part in the clubs renaissance. Ernie Ashcroft, 530 apps, 241 tries from 1942-1958 (loyalty ?), considered by many as one of the finest centres to play for Wigan. Brian Nordgren 294 apps, 312 tries (more than 1 every game), 4 Championships, C.Cup 1951. George Fairbairn, 207 apps, 594 goals, won the Man of Steel award in a team that got relegated as player/coach in 1980 !!. Dean Bell, 7 C. Cups, 3 as captain, 253 apps, 105 tries, Man of Steel 1992, he even appeared on 'This Is Your Life' in 1993. Lets look at a couple of 'lesser' known (by most on here) wing men, Gordon Ratcliffe, 212 apps, 185 tries, 2 Wembley apps, Championship winner in 1946, GB tourist in 1950 and once scored 7 tries in a match. Trevor Lake, 140 apps, 132 tries including a memorable one at Wembley in 1965. This is not including the likes of Bill Ashurst, Dave Bolton, Ken Gee, Martin Ryan, Tommy Bradshaw, Graeme West, Shaun Edwards, Andy Gregory, none of which have a flag in their honour, now, I'm not doubting the ability and courage of Brett Dallas, or his record, (177 apps, 107 tries, C.Cup winner), but IMO, he is quite a way down the 'pecking order' when choosing who to put on a flag.'"
most if not all deserve a flag before Kenny and some above Farrell. However.... |

Rugby league must be a great game to survive the people who run it.
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4916.gif |

| Quote: 21-12 "Not for me, nowhere near a big enough legend to deserve a flag before the likes of Edwards, Gregory, Offiah etc etc etc
And, we have a full gantry as it is.'"
Fair enough and also same to Pemps and twosevenzero, we all have our favourites - I thought about either one for Brett or one for Frano Botica in kicking pose with 'suited and booted' underneath as he did both.
I haven't looked at the flag posts really so didn't know what the score was. At least you have all saved me a couple of hundred quid as I would have paid for it as well so thanks for that guys  |

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Some centres Gill had...............Denis Ramsdale, Martin Foy, Jeff Clare, Steve Nicholson, David Wood, Colin Whitfield, Malcolm Aspey and Steve Donlan, he had some work to do !!!!!!  |
