I'd be more inclined to believe you if you didn't keep saying it - as if you were trying to convince yourself.
Big clubs don't need to announce their arrival. The world already knows about them. But then the last time you lot made the headlines was when you paid a fortune for a very washed-up, soon to be scandal-struck Aussie to play two matches for you. Even today, several of the dailies were less congratulatory and more concerned that your appearance in the Cup Final would cause attendance problems.
I happen to think you'll sell out, but that will be despite you not because of you. Whereas if it was us, there'd no problem - as you well know but would never have the balls to admit.

| Quote ="Billinge_Lump"For a supposed big and famous club, Wire fans don't half have a small club mentality. Jeez, the biting on this thread lol.
Robinson is right, this is a harder sell to the general public than a final with Saints, Wigan or Leeds in it. Face facts, not matter how competitive you are [inow[/i, neither Huddersfield nor Warrington have won trophies for a long time. Trophy winners get publicity, clubs that have rarely competed in a final for 20+ years don't.
The fact that it should be a close fought game matters little outside the RL fraternity, because people outside that fraternity won't know that.'" more of a reason for it to capacity not a trophy winning a trophy will in fact attract more fans from the said towns as it's a once in a blue moon occasion where familiarality breeds contempt and the attitude "well i'll go next year when we get there"

| Quote ="ROBINSON"OK, so the final is the new Hollywood Blockbuster, and instead of having Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the starring roles, we now have two actors from Coronation Street.
Certain Corrie actors are very good, but they don't exactly have Brangelina's profile, do they?
So, the question is this. Knowing that, even though they have the two most deserving teams, the final isn't exactly going to be glamorous, or an easy sell. How much harder are the RFL going to have to work to sell this final to the general public, ie NON-RL fans, or are they better off not bothering, and hoping they get two teams next year who are more famous and already in the public conscious?
Discuss.'"
Awwwwww diddums
Do you reckon if Wigan had of got through the game would have been any better? Especially if Saints had won - they tonk you every time
Don't worry Pie fans - we'll wave at you from Wembley

The best team on the day won the semi final and Wire deserve their place in the final.
However your point about Saints no longer applies. Yes we lost twice and beat them only once this year but we lost by 7 and 4 points and won by 20 so are ahead on aggregate score despite losing twice. That record suggests that if either team in a Wigan v Saints final got a hammering it would have been Saints not us.

what a load of rubish, if wigan had got to the final, i think the semi said a lot, wire outnumbered wigan by a huge ammount and to be honest i think we'll take more to wembley than you would have!

Why are you talking about attendances from each club, when the original post wasn't on about that at all?
Oh and by the way, I'd say the fact that we've finished top 4 years in a row, been to the last 3 grand finals and been Challenge Cup winners for the last 3, I'd say that we still are famous. Certainly moreso than Warrington.

what hole?
was a reply to were not famous?...famous enough to have the second largest home average and have the largest away support. We didnt sell enough as the RFL paniked and took some of our tickets to give to you men as you sold out of yours. I know people who tried in the last week but it sold out.
