When the ball hits the net, it's not Torres or Shrek, it's Aguero:7347.jpg |

Pfft.
I was expecting a discussion on our former full back, Andre.

| Quote: jackdog "First visit to the Stoop for us, and decent performance and millions of Wigan fans made it a great atmosphere and enjoyable all-round experience...
But...and I don't usually moan (honest)...our gang had plenty of complaints about Quins RL 'experience'.
1. Ladies toilets were 'disgusting', back to the Central Park days and worse, they said.
2. Ale (bitter) was horrible, flat and nasty tasting.
3. 'One of the longest bars in Europe'...they are kidding, right? Maybe they meant longest wait to get served.
4. Post-match 'party' with no seats in said longest bar? A long stand then.
5. "One of the best days out in rugby league, and perhaps in all of sport..." "Slightly" over the top, we would say.
OK, some of those ridiculous claims come from a 2006 Wigan fans guide to Quins RL. So maybe it was ok in 2006. And they have since made things worse?'"
Mrs Rochdale Warrior agrees about the ladies toilets but apart from that we had a good day ,took the 8yr grandson as he lives in London and he enjoyed the day, had a go on the games in the kids zone, ( grandson not me ) |

You'll get a bit of "Who the fookin hell are Wigan" etc. but go and have a beer and a chat with them in the Kings bar after the game and you'll be o.k.'"
I shall let you know how it goes. I've been quite a few games involving Wire over the last couple of years and had no problems, just friendly banter, including a packed pub of Wire fans chanting 'Anti-Wigan' songs at me  though that said I've never had the bottle to wear my Wigan shirt yet! |

Unfortunately I couldn't go to Quins this time round, but I always enjoy visiting there. The weather always seems to be great, and for some reason, Wiganers turn up in massive numbers every time.

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 |

You missed Telfords finest hour, he was superb. |

Also the way people linger on afterwards in that promenade area in front of the big stand. Lots of chatting over an open air pint, players hanging around. A great relaxed post match atmosphere, fans mingling, kids messing about with rugby balls. There's nowhere quite like it.

| Quote: Bilko "There are plenty of places about 10-15 minutes walk away near Twickenham Train Station but the problem is, if you don't know the area you wouldn't have a clue.
Don't go a chippy near there though. I asked for chips and gravy and the guy put the kettle on for the gravy! Not only that it came back lumpy! Obviously not much call for Gravy down theer haha!'"
Cheers for the info, atleast I'll know to head for the train station next time, someone would make a killing if they opened a bar/restaurant outside Twickenham, as long as they stay clear of serving gravy haha! |

| Quote: Mr Sheen "I'm sure it's £15 everywhere, and they seem to have given up on stewards, no that this information is any good to you now.'"
Quins' ticketing policies change like the weather. At the moment I think it's £20 for a designated seat in the middle three blocks of the East Stand (mostly occupied by Quins premium season ticket holders) and £15 to sit anywhere else in the East Stand, or in the West or North Stands.
Quote: Mr Sheen "By the way, totally ignorant question, why do you hate Warrington so much (compared to Saints)?'"
Presumably a newcomer who doesn't remember Saints being a stronger threat than Warrington.  |

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.
