what fans?

Well Lil Miss Deacon, at least those of us who were there saw our team progress into the next round of the cup. Before you get too cocky, I can remember being in a crowd of around 3,500 at Odsal, in the days before Bradfors turned an afternoon at the rugby into a cross between a circus and a disco.

i'm not getting cocky, i like wigan, its a good team, i live nearer to wigan! my family suport wigan, i'm only messin! i think wigan are a really good team! :eusa3:

I think the BBC coverage had a lot to do with it.

Probs, the JJB stadium were nearly empty! i were like

it was quiet att wise, at the start of last year also.. the crowd got bigger was we got better...

i was not surprised by the crowd.. expecting bout the same on sun.. maybe 7, 7.5.
obv, bigger the team bigger the draw.. only us die hards venture out on a sunday aft, when it is on the tele.. LOL

thats just lazy!

Maybe we've paid out lots of money for the season ticket and there's not much left over to pay for cup games? That's certainly a factor for me, but in this particular case work was the reason I didn't go, and the reason I'm going to miss all the other Challenge Cup games this year as well. I know lots of people like Sundays, but some of us have to work some weekends so it's a real pain when we've got a game during the day. Not many people work Friday evenings, except in pubs and clubs, and that's why I always vote in favour of Friday night.

Time to move Challenge Cup games away from weekends as well I think! Moi, je ne suis pas du tout content parce-que je ne peut pas aller en France en deux semaines pour le match a cause du travail. J'ai toujours des souvenirs de cette jour a Perpignan il y a deux ans, c'etait superbe mais cet annee ce n'est pas possible. La France me manque! Vive la treize!

me girlfrieng etc, had a family meal that we had planned. but we all wish that we was thier, an not had the meal.
