Dear me. A thread intended to be about the Wigan & Saints fans (Who were superb yesterday) ends up as a bitch against Wire. Very sad.

Agree
When you look at age of their (Wire) squad it will need some serious investment, and I'm not sure that Tony Smith is that kind of coach.

charnley or marsh will replace carmont, deacs will be replaced by joe mellor and hock is back in place of coley. Fielden will be ready for retiring when crosby is pushing for a first team place.

wigan and saints have a conveyor belt of youth coming through I don't think warringtons academy is at this level yet however they are significantly improved since Bastian came in.

hmm wonders whose academy is doing best this year?

Both sets were superb.

The minutes silence brought a tear to my eye.

Kris Radlinski in his post match speech in the South Stand bar made a point of thanking you for your part.

Agreed. Fantastic atmosphere yesterday and the minutes silence was very well done by all fans.

Re: Fans yesterday : Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:29 pm  

Both sets of fans were a credit to their clubs, fantastic family atmosphere with some really good noise made throughout.

Just wait untill we take over Widnes later in the year

Warrington are just desperate to matter. They finally have a team worth talking about but as they've never won a SL in my book they've not proved anything yet. Add in the fact they have quite a few older players it will be interesting to see if they can be a consistant force.

Not yet another Saints/Wigan love-in plus Wire bitchfeast....

We may never have won SL yet but that's about to change come October when whichever hapless team is put in front of us is put to the sword,and we've always been a bigger club than St Helens.

The Wire v Wigan or Wire v Saints is game is at least as big a game thesedays as Saints v Wigan.

And don't you worry,we'll be a consistent force for many years to come.

You are too deluded to even try to reason with over this strange urge you have to be part of the big club circle.

I'm sorry but a game against wire will never match a game against the Saints. The history of our two great clubs makes the rivalry special and wire don't have that same success.

Wire move into a new stadium after years of financial troubles and poor crowds and then have two good years and suddenly they are a bigger club than the Saints hahaha.
