one thing you can't accuse wigan fans of is not travelling in numbers.
Can't remember the last time i actually saw a try when scoring towards the away end or not been behind a pillar at knowsley road.'"
its not a dig, as I say your home support is the envy of a lot of clubs, wish we had same home support, but i would say atleast 5500 of our lot will probably travel, you lucky bring 3500 thats a fact.

1. Your team has enjoyed constant success.
2. To put another one over on your local rivals.
3. A first class stadium with great views.
4. £16 a seat.
5. 5,000 seats available in North Stand.
6. 1,500 seats extra in East if Required (at only £17).
Where we have to pay £19 to stand at KR with leaky roof and shoddy terracing (not very comfortable for youngsters & elderly).
Wigan are not give more than 3,500 allocation at KR as the capacity is only 17,500
Plus the fact of getting a win at KR is almost nil these days.

Some decent points. But I would like to focus on your last point about unlikely to get a win....

If both clubs fortunes were reversed over the last 10 years, you would be lucky to bring 350 to the JJB.
The fact that you have been so sucessful and we have been at best average may have something to do with it

That's a bloody joke, i presume they've been sold as unallocated seats. Why not just give people a row & seat number and fill the stand instead..... jobs worths !!!

Maybe its gods wish ?
I know its magic.
Although you have picked on selected matches there, and we know it, however to remind you of my point. Which was clearly stated, I sometimes disappointed with your efforts to travel in the opposite direction to this fixture. Thats fact pal.
We have poorer home crowds = Agreed, but this year we have improved a lot check this years crowds out at home, mainly due to season tickets offers to entice juniors.

But it shouldn't be a "our fans are better than yours" arguement (either way round) it should be a "fantastic there is going to be yet another great crowd for what will hopefully be a great game"

A lot of it is down to the ground, but I think Saints' supporter base is unusual. There are vast numbers of McEwans Lager shirted glory hunters who turn out for finals and the derby games and you undoubtedly have a decent level of hard-core support but you really lack the kind of committed fans who aren't season ticket holders but try to get to most home game and the casual walk-up fans who go to say 5 or 6 games a season. This can't solely be down to the ground. You're a Saints fan, what do you think?
In terms of our support, we have one of the best travelling supports in SL. I think some Wiganers are put off travelling to KR because of the state of the place, some are put off because we keep getting thrashed there! As Matty says we don't get much of an allocation and because of the small capacity people aren't going to travel without a ticket on the day to find its sold out.
But just think for a minute about how many fans you'd get at KR and how many we'd bring if we'd been as successful over the last few years as you've been and you had been as poor as us. I think we'd outnumber you at KR!

I agree i love going round St helens on a night out i very often do a good old day sesh on a saturday all my mates live there.
I remember going for a p#ss at KR against the famous wall with drain and somebody had sh#t in the drain. For all Rugby fans who have never been make sure you go when we play there its a quality experience i love the place.
Sh#t on the Floor , Warm beer out of a can that somebody has to open for you, coppers stood next to you trying to stop you having a good time, your mum having her umbrella taken off her cos it could be a lethal weapon ...... the place is a certain eye opener.

| i remember last year, they tried taking the drum off me saying it would be an offensive weapon- good job i had a letter of st.helens safety officer, whoose actually a good bloke.
Seriously, why would it be an offensive weapon? not as if im going to bring and buy a drum to chuck on a rugby pitch!
