Those purple things were a nightmare, not least because of the lightbulbs inside; literally tens of them were chucked from the upper tier during the second half, would have been very nasty if they were any direct hits.

You think that was all Leeds fans? Hardly. I saw flags and shirts from all sorts of clubs, all singing for Leeds.

Oh so shocking. Why? We've lost three on the bounce now and this loss was expected, based on our poor performances over the last few months. Would your fans turn up for that? I doubt it.
I went myself but I know a good few people who didn't and spoke to a few more who had had to be persuaded. There is nothing like the prospect of humiliation to keep fans at bay. It takes a special kind of optimist to go back for a third dose. I happen to be one such optimist, in that I went because I thought that on the remote chance that we do win, I want to be there to experience it. But I wouldn't criticise any of our fans who opted to avoid the humiliation.

Don't try to defend the indefendable! Saints support was shocking! It was a final! Admit your fans did not turn up as well as they should of done and get on with your life... you have to make excuses for why your team lost and then have to go an extra step and make excuses about why the support was shocking.
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

Talk about saints fans pointing the finger, its been in the direction of the RFL for the last 2 years saying the team finishing top should win the league, you know it's funny that the year they don't finish top that I have not heard one saints fan say that.

I'm not defending anything. I said I'm not going to criticise our fans for not going just to experience humiliation. And I'm not going to criticise them.
Maybe you're lot will turn up to KR next time we meet? It's only down the road but during the 2009 season your support was shocking. And that was just a derby match. Heaven knows what would happen to the Pie support if you lost three grand finals on the bounce.
But to find that out you'd have to actually get to a grand final, which you haven't done in a while now, have you?
PS: I think the team that finishes top should be called Champions.
