39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| I am listening on the radio so I can't see the away support but I am sure it is more than 200. Sounds much more than that on the radio.
I am not shocked we havn't taken many though, the week after another away game... friday night... on sky... in hull... the week before a semi-final. Most people will have chosen the semi-final over this game.

29281_1270406980.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...

There was approximately 4-5 times as many Leeds fans there than Wigans humiliating following tonight.
Do i really care?, does it really matter? Not one bit. I just thought it was quite appropriate that i made reference to it in light of the utter drivel posted on this thread,

Wigan fans must travel much further than Leeds also some wont be there due to work for example I start work in 40 minutes so couldnt go. Many wont have had time to go after finishing work at 5/6 (remember it takes 2.5-3.5 hours to get to Hull from Wigan) if it was Saturday or Sunday there would be more than you took last week.

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 |

In your warped opinion maybe, in the real world completely incorrect.

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 |

Of course you don't care, that's why you're posting on the Wigan forum while your team is playing and you're sat in your armchair

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire.
Work is the curse of the drinking class

| I'm just coming away from the game and the away following looked pretty similar to what we normally take to Hull when were on the television.
About 1000 I'd guess.

| Just coming away from the ground. 8 coaches there from Wigan, that's 400 before you start. I'd guess at about 800. You've got to be very sad to sit at home counting people in the crowd

A Yorkshire man who can count to 196?
What next Warrington live up to all their pre-season hype?
Good luck Les to you and your team in qualifying for the play-offs.

Nah there was lot more than that there tonight we made plenty of noise could you not hear 1000+ Wiganers singing " that's why we're champions"? If you stick your head out of your front door we'll give you an encore when we pass that hole known as Leeds in about 5 mins Yorkshire bitter at it's best
