St George do have a change strip , it just happens to be red and white hoops . I personally can't see the problem with them both in their first choice kits , wigans kit is predominantly red with white hoops and St George All white with a red cheveron , there is no real Clash, it's just the modern era of the sponsor demanding the use of a change strip to help sales .

Why on earth do they let a side have red and white as a home kit, and a different variation of red and white for an away kit d040.gif We could just both play in our away kit then, like Leeds and Warrington should have done in the CC final. Having said that a special WCC kit might be a good money spinner, I know I'd buy one if they made replicas, especially if we won!

Why dont we just wear our away kit?

Secondly, im sure of more interest to fans is can IL challenge the RFL's insane pricing for events and can season ticket holders have their own seats, despite it being an RFL game.

Lastly, Andy Wilson once again proves he is a tool.

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



I think a kit for the occasion would be great. Make it really retro.

I'm pretty sure we wore Cherry and White for every WCC though icon_confused.gif

Why the hell should we change our traditional Cherry and White just so they can keep with their tradition? If they are coming here they can sort another kit out! Cheeky buggars

Quote: Wandering Warrior "Why the hell should we change our traditional Cherry and White just so they can keep with their tradition? If they are coming here they can sort another kit out! Cheeky buggars'"


Many times now I've noticed Andy Wilson applying subtle negative pressure to Wigan.

There was Richard Silverwood having "his best ever game" at Huddersfield, when the reality was that he gifted them tries through repeated back-to-back penalties, ignored their hight shots and grapple tackles and sent two of our guys to the sinbin for technicalities. There was his reference to the "wobbling Warriors" who were not as good as Warrington and for whom a victory over St Helens was "inconceivable". Then there was his non-prejudiced (honest, mate!) take on Danny McGuire "colliding with George Carmont".

So it's no surprise that he now appears to be trying to make life difficult for us re. the WCC. Planting the idea that we should give up our home colours to accommodate St George, and that it will be somehow short-sighted and unsporting if we don't (and basing this whole argument on the false premise that that we made this honourable gesture this against Manly icon_lol.gif). The reality is, as you say, why the hell should we?

Wilson is jumped up little Guardian squirt, who, as usual, seems to be following his own agenda.

St George can go and stuff themselves we are at home so we will wear our home kit it up to them to provide a kit that does not clash, if the away kit still clash then its a crap away kit

Exactly. I am pretty certain before the idea of an away kit caught on we used to play Saints with them in their normal strip of mainly white with the red V and us in the traditional hoops. There is no clash.

I think people forget clubs only used to change strips if there was a clash of colours not just because they were away from home. Away strips (as opposed to change strips) are a consequence of marketing, that is all.
