Quote ="Gazwire"There's always fun and games with the Wire and Stains Mr Frisk.
They're a big club with great success, but some on here, not all, like to belittle the Wire. They've taken the mickey out of us for a good few years, perhaps rightly so, but the shoe is on the other foot now. If they hadn't taken the mickey so much, then we'd be ok. They're still trying to take the mickey even though they've done f all bar the jammy GF win in recent years. We don't try and laugh at other clubs misfortunes like they did at our club. But the tide is turning. They were laughing at us when we attempted to buy Sandow. The day after they announced Dominique Peyroux. The thing is, I have no problem with any club signing anyone, but, if you're taking the mickey, then expect it back. And that Sandow Peyroux thing was perfect. Saints fans taking the mickey as usual saying no chance of signing Sandow and what how could we, the 'minnows'' Warrington sign someone like that. We got him and the day after they signed Peyroux. It was funny in Wire quarters. We're generally good fans and will always give credit where it's due. But when someone takes the mickey for years, it's lovely when when things are ">reversed.'"
But the shoe isn't on the other foot. That one "jammy" night in 2014 is still one more Championship than your club has won in 60 years. The likes of Featherstone Halifax, Dewsbury, Oldham have all won it more recently. Swinton have fallen from grace enough you send your fringe players to play there, and they still have won a Championship almost a decade more recently than Warrington! If it is that easy to get lucky and win a Grand Final, I can't help but wonder how Warrington haven't managed it yet.

Quote ="Judder Man"Have you got any particular year in mind for when it ">matters.'"
I commented earlier in this thread that it was bizarre now it's surreal . I can just about understand wires gloating and glossing over the inconsistencies in last week's match. After all they won and made the GF.
Now they have lost, and to be totally honest only looked like managing tries through barge overs or on the back of penalties, and they are still here.
On the basis of their last two "big" games they are at the stage were their attack really does make Saints look like the entertainers in comparison.
I suspect the wire board must be a grim place at the moment if you want to take refuge here - tried the Wigan board yet?

Quote ="Gazwire"Now and again you hear fans from Leeds Utd, Sheffield Wednesday and Forest insisting they're still big clubs, but only in their minds. You can harp Saints fans as much as you like about your history, and the same as Widnes, but like it or not,over the past 6/7 years, the stats will point to us being the bigger club.
The perception of the size of a club changes over time eg 1954 when we had the 104000 attendance, I'd say we were the bigger club. From the start of the SL era up until 2006 you were undoubtedly the bigger club. But since 2009 onwards after we won the cc, the pendulum has swung. If your still the bigger club, ask yourself; why have we had more success (bar a jammy gf), why have the better players been attracted to our club and not yours eg Sandow v Peyroux, your average attendances have gradually fallen and ours have generally gone up over that period surpassing yours. Over the past 6/7 years, give me one reason why you believe your club to be bigger than us bar the jammy GF win?
(By the way, I do have a lot of respect for your SL era ">successes.)'"
This massive club that couldn't make the 8's
