SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Regardless of overall standard, the league shows Wigan and Bulls aren't in our class. They haven't been for years.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Wire fans really do think that saints and Wigan care about the game against them.

They beat us once a season but you will see eventually how much they cream themselves when they win.

I would love to see Widnes back in super league to create that extra derby, I feel sorry for the wire fans travelling to the magic weekend and not getting a big game like most other teams do.

No, its a local match but it has never been regarded as the main local rivalry.

I read somewhere that the term Derby dates back to the English civil war when a group of Roundheads raised in the area which would later become St Helens fought a Royalist force defending Wigan led by Lord Derby at the Battle of Wigan Lane.

So you don't care if you win or lose against Wire? - Course you don't. Easy to say that you don't care nowadays when results against us are far less of a foregone conclusion isn't it.

They beat us once a season but you will see eventually how much they cream themselves when they win.

And you won't cream yourselves when you eventually manage to beat us at the HJ? - Course you won't.

I would love to see Widnes back in super league to create that extra derby, I feel sorry for the wire fans travelling to the magic weekend and not getting a big game like most other teams do.
