Im surprised no wigan fans have come out an said anything about them not selling there tickets if it was us I would be the first to say thats poor support from our fans.

This bickering is pathetic.

yet strangely entertaining

Whoa ... "you fool".

Guess I hit a very raw nerve there.

Sorry we're not as worried about ticket sales as you expected us to be. But never mind. Just think, if it was a competition about selling tickets rather than winning on the pitch, you probably [icould[/i claim Saints v Wire was a derby, because then you'd occasionally have a result to boast about.

Don't worry - some day you'll be taken seriously at the top table of RL (though possibly not in your lifetime).

the same amount of wire mate, the same amount of wire!

In the last 3 years we have had a few bigger games than this IMO and a few semi-finals where as this is Warrington's biggest game for years.

We are having our worst season in years while they have a new coach and are doing really well.

Finally who cares about who will have more fans there? It's a semi final, only the result matters. Talk about crowds for the magic weekend and our big events.

The fact is Wigans support is very fickle. Anyone can get a good crowd with free tickets. Even latics (well maybe not)

The allocation was the same. - We sold ours, our fans also bought from JJB and still we get another 700. This is on top of the extra 300 a couple of weeks ago. The allocation was 3800 each, therefore you can only sell 2700 less the ones we have bought from JJB. My guess from the posts on your board complaining about all the wire fans in your queue is a support of 2000 max.

And Wigan fans who think they will buy at the last minute or just turn up are deluded. Its all ticket ! that mean you need to buy one beforehand. If the RFL are giving them to us to sell then that means you wont have any to buy.

Tony Smith made a distinction yesterday between fans and supporters - Fans are the ones who turn up occassionally and are the first to boo and not turn up again apart from the big game. Supporters keep going through thick and thin. Our capacity is 13500 ish and we get around 10000 for most games, fairly consistent. Yours is 24k ish and your support fluctuates between 9k and 22k in a matter of weeks.

Let me know if you dont understand any of the big words.

I guess this is big even for you.

Oh stop your way to funny.

You can tell Wire have had a few wins

Yeah, okay.

















The top one is the best one. It really is the last refuge of all those who, no matter how hard they try, are helpless with envy.

A prime example of why Warrington fans are, on average, the fans I hate most, at least some scousers can understand rugby.

Just how oblivious to your own team are you?

You can gloat about going to more cup finals than us recently when you have actually been to more cup finals recently than us

Deary Me!

Seems to get to saints and wigan fans when we hit abit of form and get positive about things.

Not got a problem about you getting positive its when you get people like wireontour and AJR coming on here and spouting ridiculous amounts of cr@p that annoys us.

Dont forget Warrington have had there worst ever start to a season, also had our most consecutive losses.

You miss the point completely. I have an excellent understanding of the game by the way, having watched Warrington for over 25 years (queue the remarks about understanding the game!). I have watched a lot of rubbish in that time. Watched Excellent Wigan/St Helens/Bradford and Leeds teams and appreciated them all. What I was mearly pointing out was that is in the past for Wigan, at this time Warrington in my opinion are a better side (which I have not said in 25 years of watching them). The original poster was trying to get a response of how poor Warrington were and how great Wigan were, hence my posting... explaining that Wigan have not been that good in recent past.

Ever thought thats reason they do it?

The semi is still ages off and anyone with half a brain knows its going to be a tense close match, bit of banter is good but its gone abit OTT in the last week theres a fella on here who been bookmarking anything he gets he hands on.

Yeah, but let him, it's year of the wolf, and tbh, you all know you've already won so there isn't a problem is there?

You suggested that Wire fans being positive annoys us.
I know they do it to get to us.
I am not confident about our chances in the Semi final, I wasn't before the injuries and I am less so now but that doesn't mean we won't win

The Wire board is full of muppets. There are a few people that want to talk sense but the majority just talk crap. Shame really.

If you want fickle get on the saints board, they get around an average of 10,000 yet there is a big final on and 30,000 turn up.

Or wire, they take around 100 away to Hull and then there is a huge semi-final on against Wigan and they are selling out the seats, talk about fickle, I know what you mean.

I think the majority of Wigan fans have been convinced not to bother by the Warringtons confidence tbh.

According to 'some' of them we may aswell not bother turning up and plenty seem to have taken that advice.

Its on the saints board only a few wigan fans to be fair.

given the time of year, a lot of people will be on holiday or otherwise engaged (personally, id be there but i get married the day before and dont fancy spending my first day of married life in widnes!).

im hoping for a good game and ill be cheering the team on from the comfort of the local pub

as long as wigan play well and dont play like we did in our last cc semi, i dont care who wins

Your mad then, our season is pretty much over if we don't win this game. If we could win the challenge cup it would mean so much to the fans and the club, shirts sales would go up and so would the crowds and it could give us some momentum going into the play-offs to try and get to the later stages of the competition.
