Disagree. Actions always speak louder than words. People can whine and moan all day and as long as they keep turning their cash over to the club IL etc will be happy. Making a statement is way more effective. Plus, why should fans be expected to pay their hard earned cash on dross? They shouldn't. Sport is a form of entertainment, escapism for some, if they want our money, then they should earn it.

I see this game is being promoted as 'bad blood' so does this mean Warrington are now numero uno rival for Wigan thesedays?

I see it as them blaming us for ruining "their year" a few times...it is one sided bad blood

It's warringtons PR, don't think its anything to do with us. I'm guessing its because we keep beating them in finals. I dont quite understand it myself but its selling tickets apparently and thats what its supposed to do.

I don't think Warrington ever have beaten Wigan in a final, except the Lancs cup when Wigan was in division 2 ..the worst win lose ratio by some margin....yet we have the best away win record against you than any other team in history.

I suspect Warrington fans will be buying tickets because they expect a big win against a side with very poor form. I wonder if the PR would have been any different had the form been reversed and we were going well and they we struggling?

This isn't true...Wire are buying tickets because of the expectation and investment in our club... Wigan being in poor for is just circumstance. Would you be saying if Wigan was in good form we'd all stay at home for this game?

Have a word with yourself.

It’s not unreasonable to assume that our garbage form would lead to increased ticket sales is it? Some Wolves will be smelling blood for sure.

I refer you to to post above.

That's just mental.

Nope, we would have done it just the same, and if lenaghan and radlinski were a bit more receptive we would have done a few more things.

After this, we'll move onto saints.




just to say, a mate of mine attended a get together with a group that meets regularly with karl fitzpatrick, the reason behind this is that he concerned with the tv deal coming up in a few years, at the moment, he doesn't think we'd get the same money if any at all from Sky, so our board this year decided we were going to try and help pull superleague up by its bootstraps, starting with ourselves, hopefully others will follow.

Don't forget, us and wigan are elstone's blue eyed boys

Give over! If your form was poor and ours was good you’d attract less fans to the game for sure. My point was about the marketing. I’m not sure the ludicrous ‘bad blood’ branding would have been used by Warrington if you expected a good hiding. The only bad blood is in Warrington’s imagination. There’s no bad blood from the most successful club in the world against a team who haven’t been champions since TV was in black and white.

Tricky one. I wake up at 4am every day to go to work. I sometimes work about 20 days on the spin doing that and am absolutely flogged every day. Sometimes i make sacrifices to go and watch rugby. Do without a bit less food etc. I consider that a huge commitment from myself so i can have a pint when i am there etc and help pay the wages of the players and staff. If they aren't giving me value for money i don't see why i should make those sacrifices. We have (as said) been on the decline for a few years and seen hardly and re-investment for the top players leaving. 1 or 2 maybe. If i was being entertained yet still being beat it wouldn't be as bad but when we are clearly not trying then what is the point? I might as well just give my money to a homeless person or something. If they want bums on seats they need to earn it, just like each and every one of has to do every day at work. Maybe they can entice more fans from London and Australia in the (home) fixtures we squandered to fill the void.

And no i am not going either Because it's pretty obvious what is going to happen. Shoot me down and burn me to the ground if i am wrong. I would love to be wrong. But i won't be will i? And to be honest, i am sick of dodging missiles when i go to Warrington. Their fans seem to have an obsession with trying to maim the opposition fans.

Where in my post did I say that?
Stupid boy.

Say what keyboard warrior? I made a point about the bad blood marketing and you responded to it.

This is the level you’ve brought to our board. Congratulations on being the single most pointless cretin on here.
