well it seems like my previous post about filling our TINY ground came to fruition maybe you both are not as big as you think you are. You know it takes wire to fill stadiums because we are the team everybody loves to watch not you two bores,your posts on here are only interesting when wire are involved,thats called closet admiration!!!!!

Yes us and saints are boring our teams our clubs our history, just boring!



Just because your feeling left out because Wigan and Saints fans get on with each other and also know that Wigan vs Saints will be the game that both sets of fans look out for first when the fixtures come out and not wire.



You can comfort yourself in the knowledge that Wires biggest derby will happen next season when you play Widnes.

I like how an older gentleman [Possible late 50s tried to smack me after the game for congratulating my team for Winning, also screaming 'Cheating F**king scum' down my [Disabled Dad's ear at full time. Love them classy Saints fans!

That's disgusting!





You will always get one or two idiots as does every club including Wigan, Warrington, Hull, Hull KR etc.



It's one thing having a bit of banter on a forum, but doing something like that in public is just pathetic!

I think it was the RFLs faulty, as we had to get the tickets from them, they put us in the Saints side of the stand. Now all of the guys in the stand were great and we had some great banter throughout the game. I respect the hell out of Saints fans, but this guy was a tit, who should have known better. Luckily a steward saw what was happening and ushered him away. Saints fans on the whole I have a lot of time for.

Glad to hear it

I wonder if this cosiness will continue if we rub their noses in it for the next 10 years? Beating them in cup finals and knockin them out of semi's left, right and centre like we used to do in the 80's & 90's?



There might be a bit of mutual respect but lets get this straight, they are not our equals!

nothing wrong with a bit of mutual respect

To be honest, from a third party perspective (lleds fan, sorry) I've found that pretty much all RL fans are fairly gracious in defeat, and that, as somebody said above, is why it's the greatest game. You get some bitter whinging on here after games, but my experience at matches has always been very different. A few Uncle Kn0bheads will always take victory or defeat in the wrong spirit, but my abiding memories are always of the banter and sensible discussion you can have with fans of any club after the game.



When I were but a lad after the '95 cup final, our coach stopped at services on the way home, and pulled up next to a Wigan coach. There followed some banter during which the Wigan fans presented us, by way of consolation, with a tray of "8 in a row" commemorative pies (I kid you not), with number 8s baked onto the top. It was my first extended conversation with other team's fans after a match and set the tone quite well for all that has followed.



Cracking pies as well.



Love Rugby League me.

Quality

Christ, all this sentimentality is making me feel sick, you pie eating, one eyed, early leaving clowns





Nah, better team won at the weekend and graciousness comes from respect which has been earned over years of back and forth successes and failures. I'm still going to Wembley and look forward to having a beer with the Wigan fans, although I'll still be supporting Leeds

I mentioned to the pie-eating missus that the game on Sunday was several levels below our game, and I would have been confident that either team would have won by 30+ points had the draw turned out that way.



As an additional note to the Wigan/Saints youth mentioned above, if Saints didn't have a top academy they would be in the transition that Leeds are currently in, a seriously below par one.

wigan to be fair have had a little bit of fortune in the last 2 rounds of CC due to both wire and saints having under par teams either with key players missing (wire),or,as in saints case key players playing with injuries. Take tomkins out of wigan team and they are a very ordinary outfit!!!!
