both warriors and latics suffer from the people of this town(no the ones who actually attend)being,tight,lazy,unloyal and generally tight moaning buggers,while the decent supporters amongst wiganers indulge in a game of mines bigger than yours between the latics and the rugby'"
Wiganers for you , ham fisted and tight grow up man, I could not go last night due to work commitments. Yes a job something if you have one you have to be thankfull for in the present climate. Although I am a passionate Warriors fan my priority is to put a roof above my Wife and kids heads and food on the table.So sometimes it ain`t as clear cut as you in your wisdom make out.

Ned I hold my hands up I did jump the gun a bit, understand where you are coming from and yes i`ve I know certain people who rekon they are big fans but don`t even know the names of the stands even thought they are loyal supporters but there is people who post on here who are only to quick to give a quick dig, only night off and I have had a few pints

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 |

So before you start saying we brought a poor following on a cold wet Friday night for a game that was on Sky you might want to get your own house in order first. As pointed out you had about 40 away fans the previous week and still got a bigger attendance.
I only wish Craven Park could fit 12.5k in it and do it regularly so to be disapointed about that amount is remarkable. But then to say we brought poor numbers is a very weak statement and unless you can sell more than 1500 tickets to come over to East Yorkshire on what will probably be a Sunday afternoon then I'd suggest you dont complain about our travelling support.'"
I think the point people are making is that Rovers' support was 'poor' in comparison to previous years when it has been fantastic in numbers and noise. It was quite good compared to the numbers other clubs bring.
As for the comment about us not selling out your away stand, there is usually sections reserved for home fans, as per both games last season.

we always seem to take more than 1800 upto your end, as we do to any ground

| Threads like this exist purley to massage the egos of the people who went to the game. There are zillions of reasons why people did not attend and each one of them is a personal reason.
It is always better when the stadium is full but ulimately who care if the attendance was down on last year?
For the record i was there, but i do not feel that that makes me "superior" to any of the lads i know who watched it on the telly or indeed missed it totaly because of other comitments.
all this crap about wiganers being tight fisted is a load of old tosh also. This is a working class town and a lot of people i know are struggling at the momment, this includes people who were on a high wage over the last few years.
it will pick up when the weather gets warmer, it always does.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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 an away fan deciding to go to a game, I would much rather go to the DW than to craven park. Its a naff ground, I know so many people who don't go just because of the ground.
12.5k is very disapointing when a few seasons ago we averaged 16,000.
Love it how robins fans get so defencive about their away support

| To be honest we should be more forgiving of Hull KR (and Hull) who would need to book half a day of work on Friday to ensure getting here in good time.
Yes their 800-900 was not up to the standard they set a couple of seasons ago when they brought a good 3500+ but it was still decent, however there are other Yorkshire teams like Huddersfield that travelling fans don't warrant opening the North Stand, I mean come on...Huddersfield is only on the other side of Oldham - less than an hour to Wigan easy.
