All Saints allocated tickets sold out, North and East. Plenty of tickets left amongst the Wigan allocated areas. Hence, I wont be going.

Agent Mulder will probably know the Billinge (Mi********t) family, but they were staunch Wigan fans and wouldn't go to Knowsley Road as they begrudged giving their money to Saints. They wouldn't even shop in
St. Helens.

A mate if mine who lived in Pemberton, when working at Bispham Brick Works, Orrell, would not get on the St. Helens bus to go to work, he'd wait for the Billinge bus to come along.

I'll bet there are many stories from Saints fans in a similar vein.

'Fraid so ... dont go in JJB shops nor the ground .... but suppose the most serious was storming into the old Billinge hospital as my daughter-in-law was about to have her second child, and asking for her to be moved to the other end of the ward, the end closest to St.Helens so as to be a sintellener, only for my daft son to register the birth in WIGAN

My son has never forgiven me for him being born in Billinge Hospital and his birth registered there, so that on his passport it says that Wigan is his place of birth! Poor lad has been skitted by his uncles and aunties calling him Pie Eater!

I hang my head in shame as a terrible mother.

The family friend who got me into Saints wouldn't allow his daughter in law anywhere near Wigan in the last month of her pregnancy. He was worried he would have to say "Grandad loves you very much, but..."

I doubt many other people would admit to it. I'm ashamed that I was born in Wigan.
