It's mot too long ago we got 50,000 at Old Trafford against the Aussies and 60,000 plus at Wembley.
Maybe the RFL should use the Wigan marketing team.
Small time thinking!!!!
We got 70k on more than one occasion at Wembley against OZ and 50+k against NZ under Mo's leadership but these days we'd rather gloat about selling out a 25k stadium like the JJB or KC!!!!!!!!!
It was the same for the semi's !!!
10/15 years ago they'd go to Maine Road and Burnden and then JJB and get 15k+ soemthime 25k but now theyre happy to sell out Widnes & HJ at 12k !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mo was ridiculed for not filling Wembley yet he got 50+ k againsit NZ!!!!!!!!!!!

He is the only one high up with any ambition in the game.
I wish he was the head of the RFL.
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

He was!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you've started something if the Saints/Wire/Cas & Wakey fans see this!!!!!!!
I know but I wish he was right now. We would see a great WC in a few years time and we would see our big games get even bigger, crowds go up, more ambition, better decisions etc

Rugby Union has the Heineken Cup European competition. It has the Six Nations It has International tours on a regular basis.
All things that we don't and things that can influence a young player. That is one of the reasons I can never understand a lot of RL fans (from all clubs) putting club Rugby before International Rugby.
We should not be losing the likes of Chris Aston and Lee Smith to Union. The Saints Chief Exec made a very good point on Radio Manchester a couple of weeks ago regarding the salary cap.
He was insistent that there should be a minimum spend on the cap as well as a maximum so that players like Smith and Ashton stayed in the game. he was also of the same opinion as I am regarding the International game.

I'll be flying back to England for that one yet Wigan season ticket holding mates have already told me they won't be going.
The greatest (arguably) team on earth in your own back yard and you can't be bothered. Pathetic.

It is little wonder why we have so little international support when we have fans like that IMO.

Just waiting for the school calender, which I'll have September 1st.
Will be coming back with my girlfriend and so far there are five of us going. Would expect it to be more like ten or twelve when it comes to the actual day.
