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

| It was less than 600.
Night games are always miles better at our place.

| Fwiw thought wigan completely outclassed us today and played really entertaining rugby. Unfortunately, it was over as a contest after 20 mins and although we were far from our best we got beat by a very classy side. Good luck for the rest of your season, and hope Amos makes a speedy recovery.

| I'm so puzzled by teams complaining about three man tackles ruining the game. If you teach your players to offload there's a huge gap to be exploited.

| With regards to Kear's comments about the quiet atmosphere I think there were a few reasons:
1. In my opinion you now get much better atmospheres at night matches in comparison to the traditional 3pm kick-off.
2. It was a case of after the Lord Mayors show after Friday, how on Earth was today ever going to match up to our win at KR.
3. The obvious bad injury to Amos must have been a downer for a majority of the crowd.
4. Most importantly, Wakefield never even made a game of it to get the crowd energised. So I'd suggest getting their own house in order before pointing the finger elsewhere.

| Quote: We were poor. You just have to look at the scoreboard and you don't have to be a technical genius to realise they walloped us. They choked the life out of us and completely controlled the first half so good on them. They were superb, they strangled us out of the game, but if I want to watch four or five men in a ruck or a maul, I'd rather go to Twickenham. The game is cyclical and we're seeing what the Australian game went through two or three years ago. They went to two referees to sort out the rucks and as a game we need to look at our philosophy. :2af86szv]We might have to change the way things are refereed.:2af86szv] What we saw today certainly wouldn't excite me – it's like watching paint dry. (The atmosphere) was like a cathedral. It got exciting in the second half when we made it a bit of a contest and the Wigan crowd enjoyed that.

| I've lost all respect for John Kear after reading his post-match comments and what was apparently said to two substitutes.
Talk about bitter

| For there to be a good atmosphere there needs to be a contest, arm wrestle or whatever you want to call it on the pitch. Unfortunatley Mr Kear your team were so it was like an exhibition game. How he can have a dig at us is unbelievable!

| I fancy Sheffield giving us a similar contest in a fortnight Mister Kear. You were THAT bad.

| I thought the atmosphere was ok today to be honest..i certainly enjoyed the game more than the Crusaders or Catalan games, which were more one sided and less of a fight than this game ( IMO )

| What did he say to the subs?
Again he needs to learn some class.
Tbf he did say he likes a bit of WWE and maybe that's why his players were trying to take our players heads off.
Although Madge won't say anything I'd love him to do a Fergie and speak his mind as at the end of the day fattie Kear is showing Madge zero respect with his comments.

| The atmosphere was bad because of how poor his team was in the first half, it was like watching a training session at times and although it was good on the eye at times. A close fierce game always gets the crowd going, maybe he should look at his teams contribution to the atmosphere more than MM's.
