Get back in our shadow. Isn't there a club your own size to pick on..I'd suggest the Widnes board.

Why have brought Warrington into this thread? He was calling Leeds fans I think.

I was. This thread is about Leeds vs Wigan so it made sense to talk about that, obviously some idiots dont understand that.

Didn't we show you that last season Wigan attracted more spectators to 10 of the 13 away games than Warrington did?

Just in case you missed it here goes. [urlhttp://www.slstats.org/t6/Warrington+Wolves/2009/Summary.html[/url

Just go through each of the teams for 2009 and look at their home gates v Wire and v Wigan.

But wouldn't that then make it a big game?

No disrespect, but it is easy for a set of clubs fans who have been picking up scraps for a few years, to get excited about this game. But not so for a club who are constantly winning, and where the reality is that in comparison to the GF, the CC might aswell be the old Yorkshire/Lancashire cups.

You go wet yourself over this one, I for one would not begrudge you that opportunity. I will be dissapointed if there is no GF though.

Yeah youve won loads of challenge cups havent you?

You cant be constantly winning if your only winning 50% of the seasons trophies can you? You must be losing somewhere along the line.

The reason we get excited is the same we do for every game is because we want to win whether its League, cup, Playoffs, friendly or whatever. Top clubs want to win everything not just pick and choose.

Until you average more fans at home, go away you annoying little child. This thread has nothing to do with Warrington at all, nobody has criticised their support so why bring them into it. Get over last years semi, its getting boring now the same old argument. Of course we can criticise Leeds if they have only sold 4000 for their home game.....

And good luck to you.

Like I said though we are not winning only 50% of the trophies, we are winning the only one that really matters. That's a big difference.

The Challenge Cup is like the old Yorkshire/Lancashire cups, if you win it fine and yes as with any winner you celebrate it, but as long as you win the big one who really gives a 5h1t. And that is basically what it means to us.

and thats the problem with the CC, supporters attitude towards it. Im not saying thats wrong but its quite sad that less and less fans seem to care about it. I doubt the players feel the same though.

I agree with you, and especially your point with the players, more so the Australian players, who in all honesty probably see the CC as the bigger trophy. That been because they have no such trophy to compete for in Aus.

But to fans, especially since switching it so close to the GF, and playing the rounds so long apart, it just does not have the same appeal.

Don't confuse Leeds' fans attitudes towards winning it with general attitudes towards winning it.

Leeds fans like to pretend they don't care because they keep failing. You can guarantee there would be a different party line had they lifted the cup a few times and you can be damn sure the Leeds players want to play at Wembley.

Well sure, the players and fans would love a trip to Wembley and we wont deny we would like to win the CC this year.

[uBUT[/u if it was a choice between the CC and winning 4 in a row then it's simple. GF wins everytime. That's the point - CC is a nice desirable extra but GF is what you're rememberd for....

Surely as a Saints fan you can fully relate to this in recent years??!

i don't think anyone would question weather the league and grand final are worth more than the cup.
I think the op is just suprised that the home team has only sold 4000 tickets, but given the circumstances, the limited capacity and bbc coverage, i can see why people would be put off.
I wish it would have been at home, i recon it'd have been chocker...

You winning the GF has nothing to do with us winning the cup or otherwise, and everything to do with being the better team on the day.

Unless you can prove to me that Meli is day-dreaming about Wembley when he makes his annual gaffes.

Thats quite an obvious statement to make for a fan of a team who choke when it's the big one, but have won the CC. I wouldn't have expected anything else.

But I am 100% sure your attitude would be different had you not been GF chokers, and had actually been as honourable winners like the Rhinos have been in this never to be repeated GF run.

Maybe that might be because Wigan only have been allocated 2500 tickets due to the capacity only being 10,000. HTH.

You'd think that with all this wonderful support that Wire have that they would fill their little eggbox every fortnight wouldn't you?

Least we own it.

And all the bills, maintenance that goes with it.

Toodlepip.

All part of the job of looking after [iyour[/i home.

Just one question.... Why do opposition fans think this bothers us Wigan fans the slighetst?

Seemed to bother you when you thought you might get kicked out..

Actually, as of 20th Feb 2010, we own it...

No one told MattyB

Get them bills paid
