It will be a cold day in hell when that happens

A club thats brought more shame on the game then any other down the years fan saying would we like to support a club with 'integrity'



If we do it won't be Saints.

J Crompton is an idiot.

no real fan would ever go over the lump, either way. Daft letter, daft blog

I'm glad you posted that.

If such a blog didn't cause acute embarrassment to St Helens, it ought to have done. Saints shouldn't need any support from Wigan.

Ok then, i'll bite....

Is this the club with so much integrity that....

Its recently sacked an academy player after he received a two year ban for taking cocaine?

Has recently had one of its star players Leon Pryce up in court on an assault charge?

Had Sean Long and Martin Gleeson banned by the RFL after a betting scandal?

Has been both fined and deducted points for Salary Cap breaches in recent years?

etc etc

well exactly, glass houses and all that

Spot on, no matter what the club does I don't think most fans could ever consider supporting anyone else let alone making the move from Wigan/Saints or vice verca

Unless you're a footy fan of course. A few years ago, for some difficult-to-fathom reason, quite a few football fans changed clubs in this geographical area.

But you're right, that won't happen with the RL. The roots are way too deep.

He makes me ashamed to be from the same town as him with idiotic comments like that.

As for going to watch that lot, well he knows where he can shove that idea!!

id rather glass myself in the eyes

Sometimes Chris, less is more.

Does that apply to shirts?

S'pose it does

Why daft blog?

Well to me taking a letter from a fan in a RL paper (one that most would probably agree is a pretty stupid one at that!) and turning into a blog strikes me as almost some sort of desperation for anything to write about.

That's what blogs are all about though...taking anything in your subject matter and bringing it to the attention of others. I thought it was funny and a good way to lead into the Sam Tomkins thing.

Does someone actually get paid for writing it? Jesus.

No

J Crompton = E Hemmings

Anybody with Cherry and White blood running through their veins would never contemplate defecting to the other side! OK, so Saints have been successful in recent seasons (Whoopy do!) but I firmly believe that despite Wigan's current choppy form that things are on the turn. Saints status at the top won't continue forever with ageing stars hanging on, and Wigan are steadily building for future success. The 5 year contract agreed with Sam Tompkins must warm the heart of any true Wiganer. The lad is going to be a true star at the heart of a resurgent Wigan team in years to come. The Reserves and Academy teams are running high and so Wigan must be doing something right behind the scenes. I am sure that all other clubs must envy that sort of foundation.

Whereas I agree about your not changing clubs point I think this is very much grasping at straws and I doubt anyone could for a second say that Saints aren't building for the future aswell.

I was behind a car before that had a Wigan sticker and a Saints sticker in the back window
