Even as a wigan it was my favourite ground to visit, the atmosphere, the banter but most of all the great rugby league matches witnessed here, enjoy tonight and good luck !.

The noise that used to come out of the place on Derby days while walking up Knowsley Road/Alder Hey Road/ Millfields/ Dunriding Lane/ wherever I'd parked/ been dropped off is something I'll always remember. Really got the heart rate going and the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.

Enjoy the memories, I certainly will.
Some strange ones for me, a folded chair as a ringside seat, the Harlem Globetrotters playing there, the 5 -4 game, the 75 - 0 defeat and the masterclass Wigan display in the Challenge Cup replay.

Have a great night, I'm sure there'll be a tear in the eye for many tonight.

Goodnight god bless old girl.

If you would only have played that U20 final on Sunday I would have come and said goodbye in person.

Even though one of the bitterest memories of my childhood was Saints fans wearing Tesco bags at Central Park and all the associated songs being sung, I still feel for you Saints fans as I know how much you'll all miss it. Hell, I'll miss it, derby day will never be the same again.

Thanks for the good and bad memories.

Farewell KR. A great old ground full of character & atmosphere. Some fantastic memories of watching Wigan there over the years starting with a Brett Kenny inspired win on Boxing Day 1984. No finer place in the world to get behind Wigan than the away end at KR.
Glad to see Saints get the new ground as well. Good for RL.

As with other fans, ive had some good memories of KR. Good & Bad. God bless you KR

Didn't have the most pleasant first trip to KR - Boxing Day 92 - I was only a young un, and it felt like walking into the enemy's castle. I think Wigan went 6-0 up and the rest is history!

75-0 was a strange one. Despite the thrashing there was a great feeling of togetherness, very few did 'the Walk'. Had some great memories to balance that one out, the Kev Brown / Luke Robinson show being particularly sweet and of course Good Friday 2010



Funnily enough I was pleased that Saints beat Cas the other week and a fitting tribute that one of the modern greats scored the last try.

Will miss that feeling of walking up the side of the Eddy End into the ground on derby day, stomach churning with nerves, the defeaning roar of both fans giving each other hell at least an hour before kick off, it just made you walk that little bit faster into the ground to get amongst it. Unique.

Enjoy the game and savour the moment

I'd rather visit the old grounds than the new ones, more atmosphere and more history.

But hey, everything has to change, and we all have some very good (and some bad) memories of Knowsley Road.

It'll be gone soon, but even as a Bradford fan, it won't be forgotten!

I have many happy memories visiting Knowsley Rd as a Halifax fan, although in my Halifax colts days we got changed in the current dressing rooms and got on the coach to play in a park somewhere & back to the ground to shower & refreshments after.
My fave moment though was in my old fella's last season as a grade ! ref (93 or 94 ) good friday Saints V Wigan, when we got to the ground 90 mins prior to kick off the gates were locked to the paying speccies, a game where Sonny Nickle twa££ed Offiah & it caused a bit of a stir.
I got sentimental & travelled over to the pre-season friendly this season V Halifax and took my two lads for their first ever visit & my last !

I hope the new place is warmer, dam cold tonight

All the best with it, always liked me trips over there which always start in the 7 stars

I'll admit it. I cried. I must admit the closeness of the game until the hour mark distracted me somewhat, but once it was settled it all came flooding back.
