Actually, I thought the Saints fans were quite noisy! They didn't chant much, granted, but you could have heard a pin drop at the Warrington match for most of it. Only when we scored in the second half did the Saints support come alive. This time, though, there was a lot of support shouting going on (and yelling and booing the ref, obviously!).
I think it's difficult to vocally support a team when they are dropping the ball the whole time like our guys did last night. If they had been safe with the ball, and so far this season they haven't been (Potter?), then maybe there would have been more chanting because at least we would have been playing well even if at the end of the day we had been beaten. But we were fundamentally flawed last night and so it is really difficult to be encouraging.

I don't think it was helped by a bunch of morons siuated somewhere under the Wirral Saint and Entertainers banner.
Lets go through their complete list of feck up up that night.
"Oh St Helens is wonderful" well there is a lie in itself there, but at least sort out what your going to justify it with, rather than "it's full of tits fanny and the Wire"
Sean Long, where did he start out, anyone? Was it Wigan? So yes, he may be magic, but don't go on to sing sing "he didn't sign for Wigan"
People leaving with 15 minutes to go to "go to town" when they missed potentially the best spell of rugby in the game.
Oh and as for the minutes silence. If you can't shut up for just one tiny minute, don't try and say "it wasn't me" when your collared and bollocked for it after.

There was a group of Saints youngsters in front of us on the Popular Side who kept shouting out Stanley Gene comments. Top marks for knowing he is a bit of a character - five point penalty for shouting them at Makali Aizue every time he got the ball
They stopped once another fan shouted out "It's not Stanley Gene, d!ckhead!"
"Do you fancy a drink, I know a place called the brink, D'ya wanna go there?"
"The only bloke in Harpurhey who wasn't at the Lesser Free Trade Hall, y'all."

They were right next to me and they did my head in all night.
