Thats a nice big ourselves up quote. Yes i remember the years you were awful and nearly went down. The away end at saints was always packed to the rafters because you are the mighty Wigan and you are ancient and loyal.

2009 average attendances
Wigan 13, 695
Leeds 15, 312
Saints 11,027

Maybe one day you will be as big as Leeds eh? Plus for the massive world famous Wigan you are not that far ahead of us in your shiny new rented stadium.

Saints' average will be below 10k when they are at Widnes next season

Agreed, although the first half was painful it made every game massive and it was fantastic when we got on that winning run

Edited.

And I seriously mean that too.
Expect the novelty to wear off very very quickly. A lot of teams would struggle to take over 6-7k of their own fans to a semi final just a few miles down the road.
Now try and do that every fortnight for a full season.

It would happen to us as well. We'd struggle to hit 12K if we had to go to Widnes.

you're on a wigan rugby forum mate, if you don't like the anti-st helens sentiments then you're in the wrong place funnily enough

I remember feeling better after the winning run and when we beat Leeds I thought we had done it. When the salary cap deduction came out I thought we were done for again. It was only once we had beaten Hull in the last game could I breathe a big sigh of relief.

Would never want that again (if relegation ever came back).
