given the time of year, a lot of people will be on holiday or otherwise engaged (personally, id be there but i get married the day before and dont fancy spending my first day of married life in widnes!).

im hoping for a good game and ill be cheering the team on from the comfort of the local pub

as long as wigan play well and dont play like we did in our last cc semi, i dont care who wins

Your mad then, our season is pretty much over if we don't win this game. If we could win the challenge cup it would mean so much to the fans and the club, shirts sales would go up and so would the crowds and it could give us some momentum going into the play-offs to try and get to the later stages of the competition.

Absolutely priceless.

If that's the case then it's a good job the fickle ones don't turn up, as we couldn't fit them in the stadium..

Now then, please explain your declining gates this year.

Muppet.

What about the 100 people they took to Hull and now there is a cup semi on they are selling out. Like I said before, talk about fickle.

just realistic

The understanding rugby bit was not specifically aimed at you, more at Warringtons general support, I'm not for a minute suggesting that you can't find a Wire fan who doesn't understand rugby.

The majority of Wire fans on this board are people who are all quiet while Wire are under-achieving and loosing games, however string a few wins together and your coached by God, the players are unbeatable and your the best team in the world once agian. That is what I hate about you lot.

Your right, Wigan have not been very good in the recent past, and your right, on paper Warrington are the better side.
Morley King, Monoghan, Mathers.

All very very good players. Wigan have nobod of that calibre IMO, maybe Tommy and Lockers

now i know your having a laugh!

Nothing gets past you eh

on the ball me!

It's a massive game for Wire - last Challenge Cup win 74, last Wembley appearance 89, no trophies since 91. Nowhere near a final since SL began. It's been a long wait for Wire against us as well - the last time they beat us in the Challenge Cup was 74, the last win in any knock out game 86.

I thought they were a bigger club than us?

they're massive, didnt you know!
