Nah, I'm too cheap to be doing outrageously lavish things like buying food in a stadium

only time I buy stadium food if my stomach's rumbling to the point it feels like something's threatening to run up to my throat and burst out screaming "TADA!!!

"

Thank goodness for a sensible mature post on here. Thank you

"@wwolvestweets Hi. crazy days sales today over 650 today taking the Wolves travelling faithful to 3000. 1500 left to fill the end. Come on!"

With are results lately and the mauling over Quins i can defiantly see 5k from us.

i think wire will win by 13 just one of them feelings ,just hope its a good game best team on day will win

Just scanned through this thread....Usual awful bickering....



As for Friday, unless one side batters the other (which is highly unlikely) and gains a psychological advantage, then the result will be pretty insignificant in the long run.

To be fair, with the way the play-offs are now set up, finishing 1st or 2nd makes little difference in the quest to win the big prize at Old Trafford and having seen how the season is unfolding, it wouldn't be a massive shock to see Wire and Wigan occupying the top 2 places, whatever Friday's outcome.

P.S.....Just dropping to the standards of the troll, I'd just like to point out that while Wigan have an highly impressive history in comparison with Wire, it always intrigues me that no Wiganers like to bring up the glory years of the late 70's and early 80's, when you sunk to levels that even Wire have never reached, and even managed to be the first scalp of a certain Fulham RLFC in the old Division 2??....

To be fair, i think we (Wire) can take something from Wigan and the way they have become a ruthless team unit over the last 2 seasons with what is a pretty good, but not great squad. It shows what a difference a great coach can make as the squad Maguire has changed little from the one Noble had.

Last season we were not consistent enough on the run-in and fell away at the end of the season but this year we have shown better mental toughness and I think we are in a far better postion than this time last year as a club.

Should be the game of the season so far.

It doesn't take into account the unreserved seating at the two ends and it also doesn't add on the extra seats in the west stand which are not shown. Finally the game is in 3d and the seats taken up by the cameras are shown as sold.

It's a massive game for both teams. Will it decide superleague? No. But it's a game that both teams will be going all out for.

To fans of both sides, please don't let this thread descend into the usual prick measuring contest. It could and should be the game of the season so far and a great advert for our game.

Agreed.

+1

I am the first to admit I have been guilty of it in the past but it really has gone overboard now, it's not even a laugh anymore.

That's even more mature and gracious of you (and yes, it is the lowest form of wit).

The reason the fans are daft with each other on here is down to respect. I know that sounds wierd, but I think both sets of fans realise how good the other team is which leads to a bit of fear in a way. It's only natural, it does get a bit out of hand on here at times.

Should be cracker,with maybe a score in it.To close to call for me.Really am looking forward to it now.

Only the most myopic Warrington fan would fail to acknowledge that, for about 3 decades, we've flattered to deceive. We didn't win a trophy worth winning for 30 odd years and endured team after team of crushing mediocrity with the odd flash of brilliance.

Wigan slipped from their position of dominance to a pale imitation of their former selves. From the dominant force in the sport in the 80s and 90s to, relatively speaking, also rans. Relegation battles, home play off games on the road and David Valeliki in the centres.

All that's gone. Wigan and Warrington compete as equals. Of the last 4 trophies on offer, 3 have gone to the two clubs with surely at least 1 to follow this season. We'll be competing all season for top spot. It's a huge game for both teams. To suggest otherwise, or to pretend it's just another game is laughable.

agreed, was last year at your place.

I can't wait til Friday - a little bit wobbly due to our injuries still but after Friday Hudds anything is possible. Hopefully South STand will be as jumping as we were away last week!!!



That said - some of these threads annoy the life out of me, I have good friends who are life long Leeds, Wire and Saints supporters and banter is banter but geeeeees some of you need to have a word with yourself!!!!!!!

You can't wait until Friday, I just want to get it over with. I hate the build up to these matches. There's always the same idiots on both sides of the fence who want to points score. You can usually predict who they will be. A bit of banter and a good laugh is great, but some of the stuff on both this Board and ours is a disgrace and those posting it should be ashamed of themselves.

This

See my post on the Ticket Sales thread... it's time Wire and Wigan fans starting congratulating each other on the massive crowd that will be in the DW on Friday. The BBC are saying it is expected to sell out.

I'm not expecting to start a Wigan and Wire love-in (

), but I think we can agree that this is great news for RL and evidence of Wigan's big home support and Wire's excellent travelling support, which in their different ways put almost every other club to shame.

Our away support isn't as great as people think. We take loads to the near places but not much to others. I know Saints and Wigan travel in bigger numbers further a field. If that makes sense.

I can't win. I try to be nice to Wire fans, and you still disagree with me!

No it doesn't. I've been swamped by Wire at Hull, for instance.

I've always said there's 3 teams in superleague who have a great number of 'following' fans - Wigan Wire and Hull KR

Once.
