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 - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Quote: nick hkr "Wait a second...if you brought to Craven Park the amount of fans we brought to yours last night you would fill the temporary seated stand at the North end of our ground. However you are lucky to fill two sections of it when you and most other teams come.

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.'"


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 icon_lol.gif

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.

Regardless of the away support, we should be averaging at least 13-14k of our own fans every week. Only 11k turned up on Friday and that's just not good enough really. Just because it was on the TV. KR did well to bring so many on a Friday night. It's such a long way to come in one evening.

tuggles,wiganers are tight its a fact,i know a lot of people are struggling but 11500 is a poor effort,if the football team had 11500 home fans turn out ,certain posters on here would be slaughtering them,as are posters on certain latics sites slaughtering warriors crowd on friday,the point im trying to make is that all the name calling between both sets of fans is pointless,dead ended,and probbably does both clubs harm in the long run by alienating people who might chose to watch both teams from time to time.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?:

I honestly could not give a tuppeney about what some ex Liverpool/everton/utd fan thinks about the club. They have there own problems to worry about.

I also think that there is ne point even trying to stop the bickering between the two sets of fans, i will stop short of calling some of them idiots but being moronic, petty, bigoted, cliquey, ignorant, is a lifestyle choice for some football fans. Lets be honest they thrive whilst wallowing in the conflict they can create. Dont ask me why but they do.

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Athough you have to admit the bluenoses only had a short hop up the M57/58 rather than the trek along the M62 to contend with.
