Yeah bet you were saying that 10 years ago when you were at the start of a lean spell and before you cheated this great sport of Rugby League by fiddling the salary cap in 2006 to dodge the drop.

I think they are all out tonight Matty!!!



He might have been thinking about Trophy Bitter...

Heres a question:

[size=200=#FF0000WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE WERE SHÍT???[/size

Wigan Rugby League are back & so are the jealous bitter little trolls, big time

Let's face it,since all clubs became fully professional in 1996 Wigan have been an irrelavance for the vast majority of that time while clubs like Bradford,St Helens and Leeds have fought it out for the games top honours.

Current Champions?

Yep, and we are back now. That is why you are here

And that boys and girls is the end of the lesson.

Toodle-pip, soon be our big final on Sunday.

That's why i said 'vast majority of the time' rather than 'all of the time'.

What did Wigan do in the years 96,97,99,2000,2001,2003,2004,2005,2006 (apart from cheating to stay up),2007,2008 and 2009? Answer: Absolutley nothing!

Like i say,you've been and irrelavance for the 'vast majority' of the Super League years.

Wembley 1989 was the best ever.



'"

Never seen him on the leythers board, so not one of us.

We won trophies in 96/97, League Leaders in 2000, Grand Finalists in 2000/01/03, Cup Finalists in 04. Final Eliminator in 07/08/08 when we were crap. Current Champions... Yeah we've been an irrelevance for years

Wigan actually went full-time professional in 1994 (and they weren't the only ones).

So, if it actually was unfair - which is a matter of debate, given that they did nothing everybody else couldn't have done - it was only unfair for about a year and a half.

They won the CC six times in a row, the Championship, Lancs Cup, JPT, Premiership, etc etc when they were part-time.



But then real facts won't dissuade obsessed and soppy little trolls like Bruce Borsyth. Almost every post he's made has been on the Wigan forum, and he's been owned on each occasion (not a new experience for him, I suspect).

I mean come on, trying to find victory in the fact that a rival club has a fallow decade - during which time they still appeared in numerous finals and semi-finals. I bet he wishes his team had a fallow decade of that sort.









He can only dream of following a club like Wigan. That's why he defines himself by how much he hates us.

The crowd was embarrasing, iv read drivel on the Saints board leading up to this that it had "sold out 3 weeks ago" what a joke.

Did anyone hear Eddie's petulant outburst about the crowd being in the wrong place for the Sky cameras.

It was almost like: "Honest folks, there really is a crowd here. Honest. See, look behind the camera, that's where they all are."

Saints fans thanked Wire fans at Cardiff for making them sound noisier

I love you, please carry on posting, you have made my morning in work. Oh and by the way....

Best view in the ground and no-one there. Saints Directors must be worried if they can't sell out for a game with one of their nearest neighbours. Something must have gone badly wrong with ticket sales.

Im proud of the Wigan walk anyway. How many teams do you know that are famous for walking and playing rugby? No mean feat



Warrington really put Saints to shame last night, hats off to them. We need more teams with regular big followings in the league. Warrington vs Wigan when it comes around will be an absolute cracker and a sell out at both ends imo.

I know, how embarrasing, also, on another note, has anyone else noticed that neither Eddie or Stevo have called us "the champions" once this season yet? When Saints had there glory seasons and Leeds it was always "and there's another try for the champions" or "here we are at Knowsley road, home of the champions" not us though, we are still just "Wigan" its quite cringeworthy how much they hate us, and laughable at the same time how blatently obvious it is.

Not being there, I can't comment on how big the home crowd actually was, or what the atmosphere was like, but the Sky cameras only seemed able to find Wire fans.

At first I just assumed the cameras weren't roving very widely, but even by the end of the match I don't recall seeing large blocks of Saints fans anywhere.

It could be the new ground syndrome, of course. When Wigan first went to the DW, people didn't think of it as home for quite a few months. But like Brian Noble said last night, when asked if the Saints fans were staying away because it wasn't Knowsley Road: "They'd better get used to the fact that this is home. Knowsley Road ain't there any more."

Sell out at Wire due to smaller capacity but an almost at the DW.

The same match last season was a sell out capacity crowd at KR with 17500. Last night's should have been a sell out but only 10k on.
Lets just forget any talk about taking the Saints home game v us at Goodison or Anfield. Saint's will be lucky to sell out Widnes.
This will be a difficult year for them crowd wise.
Lets just hope for them and the game's sake the Saints fans all return when the club get into their new place.

Especially if Saints have a disappointing year on the field. It's been a story of decline for Saints in recent years and let's face it, even when they were top dogs back in the mid-noughties their crowds were poor. It would be bad for the game if their 18,000 seat stadium was less than half full for most matches.
