Thought I would try and resurrect this a little as this place has been dead for a while now. There are loads of posters not posting anymore, I'm even missing my previous arch-nemesis Phuzzy 


So the question is- are any of you missing Saints being as strong as we used to be (obviously you don't want us to win trophies)


The reason I ask is that I have seen a couple of Wigan fans on Twitter recently saying that they feel HKR fans are unbearable and are missing a strong Saints- with the explanation being that at least we have a strong history as a club. 


I get that in the main as even though, I am a Utd fan I despise Liverpool but I do have more respect for them as a club than say City or Chelsea, due to their history. 


I've noticed for a while now that we barely get a mention on here win or lose, good or bad which shows how far we have fallen as a threat to Wigan. Conversely on Red Vee (and to be fair it is a much less toxic place now) Wigan are mentioned frequently (not all bad I hasten to add, indeed lots of times they are held up as setting the standards on and off the field)


So I guess this is a long winded way of me asking the simple question....


Do you miss us?

I don't think you've gone, by more it seems luck rather than good judgement you've found a balance in your team.
Keeping Whitby and Walmsley fresh will be Wellens' big challenge and then getting Welsby back for the business end will be a massive boost, obviously he has to play but the re-shuffle that will entail will probably determine how far you get.
He's the best full back in the league but that does give Wellens the problem of getting the half back combination right.

For me I think SL is at its best when Wigan, Saints and Leeds are all strong.


I want to win everything, that's obvious. IF we can't however then I want Saints or Leeds to win it. Why? Because of the sheer effort each of those clubs delivers for the league. Proper youth development, big fan bases, rich histories stuffed with great players. You reap what you sow in life and those clubs only add to the sport, whilst so many others take, take take.

Very interesting viewpoint and one that I would guess isn't shared by the vast majority of Wigan fans!
