[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

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.

How the Premier League table would look if teams were awarded points for famous fans...
20th: Wigan
The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_29281.jpg |

350? even their own lot admit it was far less than that. o wonder the club won't confirm the exact amount of loyal tics fans that travelled to WHL.
Leyther Matt will surely put us out of our misery.

Given that the footballers are on 10 times the salary or more against our players you can hardly compare the 2.

Slightly unrelated: Your freeview box will need retuning on 30th November to still get channel 5. Please pass this on to Liverpool fans who want to watch their team in Europe after Christmas.

I wasn't comparing the two. I was pointing out that at least its a gesture of remorse which our players never seemed to show. |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Exactly, you take the rough with the smooth! I'd be embarrassed if I was a Latics fan going back for a refund. You're going to take a thrashing some times, that's the risk when you get a ticket. Watch it in the pub instead  |

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

That day was worse for me than most as I went on my own with a family of saints fans!

Mine as well and it was a classic example of our team showing no remorse.
What had happened rlsix weeks earlierrl should have left them embarrassed and had them all fired up for that magic match but we saw no reaction what so ever. They put the surrender flag up before kick off.
Just looking back at rlmy reportrl great pre match quote from Sean O'Loughlin read "we’ll be going all out to put that right." Hmmm! Talk is too cheap!
That's the kind of thing that needs to change and I think will change from next season. When we lose it needs to hurt the players as much as it hurts us. |

That was my low point as well, being the last game of the weekend having to walk out at the end of the game with the Mrs and couple of mates and their kids while having abuse shouted in our faces was not pleasant at all.
The year before was bad at Cardiff ,and i was at both the saint and leeds nil points games and had lost a close family member just prior to the saints game , but that last Cardiff game was shameful.

| Quote: NickyKiss "£15,000 maximum i read which i'd guess is around 500 tickets at £30 each.
My mate went to the game and shall be getting his money back. The one thing Wigan Athletic have managed to do since coming into the premiership is battle and scrap and have hardly ever taken 4,5 or 9 goal beatings until this season. Any team worth their salt would offer the fans their money back after that shambles.
As for our shambolic preformences over the years I was most hurt by that Huddersfield one you mention. They totally give up that day and then had the nerve to come out with bol*ocks after the game like 'it's just one of those things' and 'it can happen in superleague nowadays' instead of admitting any blame.
Hopefully thats the sort of attitude the new coaching set up can change. If we have a shambolic preformence like that, the saints ones or the Celtic one i'd like to hear the players come out and take some sort of blame whilst being determinded to turn it around. In truth i'm hoping those sort of shoddy, half hearted preformences have gone.'"
Does anyone think the players had a say so on this? ANyway, on a much lower scale (or maybe not  ) didn't millward do this in F+B's and make all the players pay for there own food(Kris Rads book) this caused a load of problems behind the scenes. |

Especially the way it was built up over the weekend aswell, with it being the last game.
The walk back to the car was horrible, nobody talked and it was just silent for the rest of the weekend.
Embarassing! |
