On countless occasions since the fifties I have experieced great pleasure from THE SAINTS STAMPEDE.

Personally, I think we're giving this Wigan Walk thing more credit than it deserves.

It was a myth invented in the correspondence pages of the RL press back in the 1980s, when jealous idiots - mainly in Yorkshire - sat in run-down stadia every week, surrounded by empty terraces, watching a set of useless, unfit pillocks tottering around on poorly maintained pitches (mind you, at least they had brass bands to entertain them at half time).

Every time they played Wigan, they were massacred. They also had to endure the taunts of a massive travelling army of cherry and white fans. They had absolutely nothing with which to oppose us, hence they made up LIES like the so-called 'Wigan Walk'. Unsurprisingly, given the equally parochial mentality of many of the game's administrators and those working in the press, the lie was taken up at semi-official level until it became a fully-fledged urban myth.

Wasn't it at Cardiff a few years ago, when the Sky commentators made great play of 'Wigan fans leaving early', when all their cameras had caught was ONE MAN in a cherry and white shirt, standing outside the stadium on his mobile phone? Pathetic.

I've seen fans charging out of grounds well before the final whistle, from Wilderspool to Thrum Hall to Headingley to Wheldon Road. I attended a match at St Helens in the mid/late 90s, when Wigan were so dominant that Saints fans were streaming out BEFORE half-time, and the Micron video of that game offered proof of this.

We shouldn't even give such nonsense the time of day.

That must be time we beat them 65-12 in thier backyard

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. Every time Wigan got the ball, they seemed to score.

I remember Eddie Hemmings commenting on what an awesome clash it was between Connolly and Matautia. Yeah ... right.

Not sure how anybody could have walked off on Sunday. The lads deserved a full stadium applauding them for their efforts against a top top side. Saying that, st george deserved more credit for their part in what was a great game.

Come on now.

The warm up was pretty even.

Bruce-forsyth remind us which league your team are in again





now get back into the ambulance theres a good boy

My late grandmas brothers (Blans) played for Wigan in the 40's and 50's and she went to every game
to watch them play. she always left before the end and it was a standing joke with us for years because
quite often Wigan would be losing and she would get off home, and later that day find out that they had actually won.
