The truth is you play in a stadium with a capacity SMALLER than our average crowds. So in effect, if Wigan played at the HJ every fortnight we would have a sell out every time.
How many sell outs did Wire have last season? 2
There endeth the lesson sonny.

unfortunately, its not our fault that our stadium is only so big, but we do the best we can with the support we have, lets not forget, our histories show that your support should be twice if not three times the size of ours! if supporters are relative to winning trophies etc. etc. Your fanbase is big, yes, but in a fanbase so big, how is it that you couldnt make enough noise to get behind your team on the biggest game of their year???

I think your kidding yourself with this 'not making enough noise business' it looks to me as if you've convinced yourself that every single wiganer sat there making no noise, which isnt true and is irrelevant anyway.

In the last twenty eight years Wigan have never dropped out of the top two best supported teams in top flight Rugby League in the UK.

wheres the need for bitter name calling?
my point was that you've only recently re-become the best supported team in superleague again!
and mattyB, i have mentioned before that i have no qualms with you comparing your attendances to ours, it just shows how much we mean to you!
no, in all honesty like i said, i think you have a massive support, and its bigger than warrington's will most likely ever become, but again like i said before its due to our respective histories! so surely for us with our relatively non existent history (apparently) we are doing quite well with our attendances!

| To generate a really good atmosphere i think you need good away support too, the fans bounce off each other.
The Aussie wouldn't have brought many plus they aren't know for their vocal support.
I wouldn't blame Wigan for a bad atmosphere in this game.

Not yet.
We have however had some Wire fans (and Bulls/Hudds/Quins fans) asking us recently for contact details of our flagmakers.
Just thought I'd put you right there.
Let's just say that if Warrington fans waved a dozen massive Primrose & Blue flags last year (and not Wigan) you'd have been absolutely made up.

Maybe you will if you ever get to play in a wcc.
But for now you'll have to make do with watching a team of champions playing in a match you can only dream of

I'd go with that.
In addition to that 'ALL' seats tonight were allocated seating, therefore nobody could just sit in large groups together like they can on league matches (The South & North Stands are unallocated at league matches).
Also I'd say it was a pretty nervous crowd tonight, game was tight all the way through and the opposition looked like they could score every time they got in our quarter. Quality team.

they were a very good side, but for most of the game you matched and sometimes out enthused them, but as a team, they looked like you said that every time they got near the line they were going to score, very scary team!
i have no doubt we would have beat them though! (lord help anybody who takes this bit seriously)
