having read about fans getting disenchanted and losing interest in going down to the jjb,and i must admit i am one of them.what is the feeling now the saints match is only a week away,me well the passion is returning,it's about never turning your back on your team.wiganers be proud.

It's the biggest derby in rugby league.

As a Wigan fan if you can't get up for it there is something wrong.

Then there's something wrong

I am begining to feel the same way. I think I am more disillusioned now with the running of the club and the teams performances than I have ever been.

Maybe the thought of another drubbing, to go along with dire rugby league is finally getting to people?

We all work hard for our money, and I expect to see something even remotely entertaining.

Slowly the club is losing its fans again, and unless something happens to get some enthusiasm back it's not going to stop. IL should be a pretty worried man at the moment. I don't look forward to games anymore, I find myself looking for reasons to go at times.

Come kick off you might feel different.

We're a week away from the game and we have to play Barrow first.

I've never felt this bad about it before, in 24 years. There was always some pleasure.

None at the moment, though I really hope you are right!

It's only a game. Things will change.

So big that it's always a no contest?

Looks like theres going to be plenty of dissapointed folk (apart from the plastics) next Thursday neet.................. www.wiganwarriors.com/news_full.asp?newsid=4652

Yep thats right

See the link just posted.

Then it's good to know that we're in agreement

a none contest and still the biggest..you must be impressed

Fuuny that, the Hull derby always sells out aswell and have you noticed you only have to say Hull derby were as with yours you have to say Saints/Wigan derby.

So the hull derby is bigger because its got less words

And then theirs this, [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/results.php?team=Wigan&days=&submit.x=9&submit.y=2&submit=login&c=62&s=2008&id=here[/url and then [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/results.php?team=Wigan&days=&submit.x=8&submit.y=9&submit=login&c=42&s=2007&id=here[/url, notice the attendences at the JJB.

How were they all sell outs?

No, yours just sounds a bit daft, imo obviously.

As it stands just over a week from the game we could fill Craven Park twice.

I don't need to really add much else.

Wigan V Stains - Combined Attendance For Both Fixtures = Over 40k

Leeds V Bratfut - Combined Attendance For Both Fixtures = Circa 35k

Hull V Hull KR - Combined Attendance For Both Fixtures = 32k

(Wigan V Wire - 31-32k / Stains V Wire - 30k)

So we CLEARLY are the biggest derby in RL......you and dull are a distant third and only just edge Wigan or Stains V Wire!!!

13,500 + 19,958 = 40,000

Yep can see how that goes.

Last yr was 17,500 + 20,000 actually = 37,500k

Yr before was 24k + 17 = Over 40k

Lasy year was slightly down on the previous as KR had the GF game.

The Dull derby meanwhile doesnt even get anywhere near the Wigan Stains attendance....even on a bad season!

Oh dear
