Quote: SaintsFan "I'm not defending anything. I said I'm not going to criticise our fans for not going just to experience humiliation. And I'm not going to criticise them.

Maybe you're lot will turn up to KR next time we meet? It's only down the road but during the 2009 season your support was shocking. And that was just a derby match. Heaven knows what would happen to the Pie support if you lost three grand finals on the bounce.

But to find that out you'd have to actually get to a grand final, which you haven't done in a while now, have you?

PS I think the team that finishes top should be called Champions.'"

most of your fans were on here calling the attendance for wembley which was 13000 more than old trafford and is alot further i think your comments were if it was the bigger teams they would have filled wembley! well it was the bigger teams and it was only half hour down the road and still couldnt get the amount of fans we had a wembley!

Obsessed to the point of talking about it more than the actual game.

Selective memory on here. Tell me, how may tickets did Wigan sell for Murrayfield in 2002? That was a final that Wigan were big underdogs for and your support that day showed it.

And you lot slagged us off for it.

BUT now the saints fan have a totally different take on it..it seems they dont blame them not turning up because they were underdogs..but in 02 it was a bad excuse and we should be ashamed.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



When the final whistle went at Murrayfield in 2002 there were a lot more Wigan fans in the ground than Saints fans.
