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

Bradford fans actually all jumped up when he hit him round the neck. terrible.
As for Sykes, he is the biggest coward in super league. He only touched the ball once for the rest of the match.

It's strange seeing such poor players playing for Bradford, the likes of Sykes and Jeffries are just awful awful players. Oh how the mighty have fallen. |

Aye, I used to poo myself when we were playing the Bulls.
That North stand was full to the brim in 2001 as well. 5k away fans to just 50. |

God you lot love romanticizing, most Bulls fans like me didn't think it was a full on high tackle (as replays have proven) they where cheering becous it was the first time in the match a Bulls player showed any enthusiasm in the tackle!
But you lot carry on thinking only Wigan players put in textbook tackles, its quite funny watching you lot try strugle to take the moral high ground  |

How the mighty do fall, but don't worry we will be back, probably won't take as long as you lot did getting back though  |

Don't get me wrong, I hope you do get to the level you used to be at (well not quite that good  ), it took us a good few years though. Bradford are a club I've always quite liked, not sure why, they broke my heart at Old Trafford!

[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 |

Tackle started at chest height but did go high, you see much worse every game but a penalty was a fair call.'"
Sam definately wanted to play on. If Sykes hadn't kept hold he would have been away after the hit, it was as though he didn't feel it. Couldn't believe what Thaler said when I watched it back. He is one tough hombre as Stevo would say, but I fear one day he will get hurt bad. |

You know i can recall on many occasions during our glory years and wondered while playing your lot at odsal, why the rooley lane end was so sparce of the so called best supported team in the country, even when you where richest club in the world in the 80's and early 90's, you've just hit the nail on the head!

| Why on earth has this tackle got it's own topic? Sykes went in for the tackle, hit the chest, went high. Penalty end of. Sam Tomkins is allowed to get tackled. After seeing a few tries where has has just run round the entire team this season, Sykes obviously decided to try nail him fairly but ended up going high. End of. Penalty sufficient.
O'loughlin went high about 3 or 4 times in that match and went unpunsihed, there isn't an article on it.
Quote: "The second year they beat us at OT, my wife and I were on a tram afterwards with a shed-load of them and - to my surprise actually - they were far and away the most loutish, ignorant and intimidating bunch of RL fans I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. The bad old days at Leigh and Warrington had nothing on that bunch. Thanks to that experience, I feel no regret whatsoever that they've slipped to oblivion.'"
Sorry you had that experience but please don't tar us all with the same brush. Every team has idiots. I remember when you came to Wigan and a group of 20 came in twhere all the Bradford fans were to cause trouble. Doesn't mean your all like that. |

I said the same last night. I remember when Wigan Vs Bradford was a massive game, and they used to fill that away end! Same with Leeds, but the past couple of seasons both teams have barely brought any fans. |
