BEST SEASON EVER?

[yokozuna]

If we were challenging for the top spot, it would be fairly interesting. But there wouldn't be the urgency and importance with every result, as finishing 2nd or 3rd isn't the end of the world.

Because we are battling to escape the relegation spot, every game is a cup final. Every try we score could mean we stay up. I have never cheered a knock-on so loudly as I did yesterday in the closing moments of the game.

I now live in the Midlands, and know one knows or cares what happens in the world of Rugby League. But this season, people in the office are talking about our results, how we could exacpe relegation - I've even had people tell me what a good signing Fielden is! They have never seen a RL match!

Ironically, Wigan's struggle to avoid relegation could actually prove to be good for Superleague (as long as we stay up, that is).

I'm certainly enjoying the season (now we are actually playing well), and like I said, every game is like a cup final.

To say "best season ever" is a bit strong, but I know what you all mean. The atmosphere at our matches and afterwards in the s/s bar is electric now! We just need to keep winning and when we stay up it be just a bit special (I guess that it will break a number of records too)

we are deffinately doing our bit to make it a memorial season.

I think, at least I hope, that you mean "memorable" rather than "memorial" season! Although, given we are still bottom, there's still a chance the season might turn into a rather unhappy memorial for our once-great club...

Someone mentioned an interesting season... that it certainly is...

we've moaned about recruiting the wrong sorts of players... old aussies, useless panic players... things happened before Noble took over...

From seeing a Wigan side play absolutely aweful against Harlequins at home... to the last few games, its amazing... bring along a world-record transfer for fielden... barrett, bailey etc.. for next season... it's been a weird season.
