Saints support at the GF was nothing short of shocking there is no doubting that but IMO the GF is an event for rugby league as a whole and should be attended by everyone who can get a ticktet, don't complain if you wernt there yourself!
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

Noticed one minor scuffle at the bottom of the Stretford End, and there were a couple of rather gobby Leeds fans sat near us who had to be spoken to by the old bill, but no other problems that I noticed.
Thought the support for Saints was pretty poor, all told, but the Leeds fans were deafening at times.

They were awesome the leeds fans, OT has never seen noise like it!
Saints support was shocking but the seats should be filled up by other rugby league supporters.

We were sat about halfway up the Stretford End, so hadn't actually seen just how empty the top tier was at that end until seeing the Super League Show - poor effort considering a lot of those areas would have been on sale at Saints, and especially when seeing how full it was in the top tier of the Leeds end.

Leeds end was packed we couldn't get a ticket there at all except upper corner. Like I said the support was shocking, burton albian took more to OT, but why should anyone complain about it if they were not there?
I got loads of stick from saints fans sat in the middle of them all, it was great then watching them do the saints stroll aat the end with me singing, we can see you sneaking out they were not happy.

I didn't see much fighting but one pathetic drunk Saints fan who was probably 60 odd and should of known better.
When Sinfield scored penalty to make it 11-10, he popped his purple banging stick that he had and threw it at the womans head in front of him. Then when Smith scored Leeds last try and he got up walked down the stairs and tried to grab one of those inflatable rhinos off a woman, and tried to pop it. All I heard was her scream and he husband get up as if he was about to knock him out.
Pathetic I expect better from a man of his age.
