Saints v Huddersfield

Wigan V Wire


Ties 8/9th August

Well that makes me feel better

would like to see wire at wembley now , share the love

Great draw. Saints will be very difficult to beat in the final, as we all know. If we play like last week and not today in the semi though, anything could happen. If we lose, so what, we won't be getting beat in the final by them again but against Wire or Wigan? Could be our year

bye bye ,nice cup run

Saints fans think they've won the cup already, so do us a favour and produce the shock that RL craves.

It would be great to play Huddersfield in the final, I have some good friends from Fartown.

Facebook mostly.

My main reason for wanting a Hudds v Wire final is for the reason stated above.

Not that I'm tempting fate my saying we'll be there.

Tiz what they all want to believe we think, strangely out of the Saints fans I have spoken too not one is even saying it will be an easy game for us let alone acting as if we have won already!

I am looking forward to a good game, yes we will probably go into the game as favourites but in the cup that means sweet fa as has been proven many a time. Fingers crossed we win and get to the final but if we don't its not the end of the world.

I could have put money on that draw though, they needed those few extra mins to get the balls to the right temperature

Says it all when you find solace in the apparent degrees of defeat.

We dropped ball all day and we won. Whoda thunk it?

Hudd v Wire final, would be ok but full of empty seats.
Wire would take plenty, but wembley would probably only open three stands, due to the lack of giants away support.

Lets hope we can make a shock

Firstly, we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

Secondly, our away support has been comparible at least and in many instances better than many clubs this season. So try another one troll, because that doesn't work.

thought the same when saints would play catalans

our average super league attendance so far in 2009 is 8842...compares pretty well against other clubs?? and our away following is growing well, took a good following to your jjb this season.. oh and we won

In fairness though, I was surprised by the relatively low turn out from Fartown for a CCQF at home. Especially when you consider the increase in our away followings, which is usually a good indicator of core support.

...........and considering the reduced price option the club made !!



Just a tad disappointing in my view!

Agreed but great away following from Cas.

Comparable to what?
Your away support is pretty poor, the jjb closes the north stand now for four SL clubs.Catalans, Celtic, Quins and Huddersfield.
Hardly miles away are you?

Read my post again, I'll think you'll find it makes perfect sense and the answer to your question is in there already.

There are some clubs we just don't travel well to for whatever reason. Leeds, Wigan, Hull, we tend to be poor even by our standards. But our away support is improving and I know this for fact because I've been there and seen it with my own eyes.

ATEOTD you're no one to judge, so keep your snide crap to yourself and concentrate on your semi. If we get there we'll take what we take.

Just off the top of my head our support at awauy games has been very good this season. Certainly up on previous years. We had good turnouts at Bradford and Wigan and at HKR we had taken the most there of any team to that point ( even the HKR fans congratulated us on that), ouyr support at Quins was very good and we had loads at Wakefield last week .

I am pleased about the away support the Home attendances are a bit dissappointing but still up on last season and considering we have had so many home games changed and being on SKY we are hoplding up well.

So far we have been at home and on TV for
Leeds, Hull, Cas in cup, anything else



all of that affects crowds. Plus our home form has been DIRE so far

why do you think wigan and saints played friday and saturday??



still im sure wer'e all sick of the sight of st helens in the cup? but we have to beat them to win the thing

Can make head nor sense of your original post, and oblivious to any answer.
As for seeing it with your own eyes, you must'e sat in row z and had tunnel vision. Hudds don't have great home crowds and away they are pathetic.
We can judge because are well supported both home and away.

do you know that for a fact or are you just guessing ?
i think you may need to do a bit of research in future before spouting rubbish

i wouldnt say 600-700 to london or 700 to a cold wet,hull kr or 500 to wigan on a cold wet friday night pathetic but each to their own
