I thought they were a bigger club than us?
I think you also just summed up why they are taking more fans to this game than us, it's simply a bigger game as they have not seen success like this for years.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

How can you even doubt that! They are massive!
Even Man United pail in comparison! They erected a Chocolate Statue of Lee Briers in Japan you know, its 100x bigger than the Beckham one, to reflect the scale of the clubs

I even heard they had more fans than Hull KR.

So because we are buying tickets for a semi we are fickle? what about the wigan fans who won't go the semi but will go the final? could talk about the 2k we took to Barca.

Could also talk about the 2k we take everywhere.
What about the Wire fans who will go to the final but not the semi? It's a completly irrelevant point because any club who gets to a final will take fans who didnt go to the semi.

Was it only 2k, on your board there were talks of 6k
Look for anyone to question Wigan, Leeds or Hull's support is just not right. When you have higher home crowds than us, officially take more away than us and make more noise than 2 lone rovers fans then I will argue but untill then you have no argument about crowds.

You really don't help yourself as someone who started a thread saying is our season over, your in a CC semi but it doesn't mean much to you?
