Well they are 16 points behind Barcelona so you can't blame them for being upset....some are starting to turn on Ronaldo too, not true supporters

We feel a lot safer when your penned into 1 stand safely without the possibility of being allowed to mix with real fans

There must be some other reason?

I'm not going coz my brother can't afford it and I can't afford for us both (hence no ST either) hopefully he will make sure he's not skint come the saints game.

I think there is still an amount of apathy and Sally wasn't far off I got a bottle of vodka thrown at my car by one wire fan and abuse hurled by another so I was slightly dubious about whether it was worth the risk anyway.

Then I realised they were stupid teenage idiots that when I turned round ran off but still that's not what you should have to deal with at RL.

I think Wigan fans might be thinking they have a weaker team than last year (which they do), that even though it was a friendly without your top 2 players, you looked well beaten in Benny's testimonial, that the league means bugger all.
They could be skint,they have no money after Christmas, it could be too cold, they think Wire fans are scum and might start trouble, they just can't be bothered, not true fans, saving money for the big away day at Huddersfield or even the Catalan trip in August

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg

Last league derby at Central Park 5/9/1999: Wigan 28 St. Helens 20 Last league derby at Knowsley Road 2/4/2010: St. Helens 10 Wigan 18:26.jpg

I'd be surprised if the crowd was a low one compared to the corresponding fixture last season.

It's our first home game FFS and the first chance most fans will have to see our new half back combination.

So despite no one seriously [iexpecting [/ia win (which I think is certainly the majority view) I thunk a lot of people will still have a [ihope[/i we might sneak it. Typical fan mentality of you like!

If people are staying away as they see the result as a formality that would be quite a worry for the club and a wake up call that they can't expect fans with high expectations to support an average squad of players.

Maybe the Hock saga which was well publicised beyond the Internet has left some people who don't visit places like this fed up.

I still think sales will pick up as the week goes on. This is a game I would expect those who have not bought season tickets who normally do to turn up for.

They have changed the way fans look at the regular season I think. Which must be a blow for clubs trying o promote the game

If the reg season was meaningful and Friday was a potential title decider, it would be a sell out. The top 8 playoffs are killing the game

Since when has the 2nd game of the season been a title decider?
