2nd April 2010, that end was rocking.

26 june 2005,that end was empty at half time

That picture from asterix looks like the view Warrington players usually had of Knowsley Road

Only been to KR twice . love these old style grounds , they have atmosphere. Not like these new sterile concrete jungles.

Great post. Thoughts are with you, your family and of course your dad.

Inspirational thread and some great, moving stories. Saddened! in particular was very moving. I'm going to miss Knowsley Road. As the week goes on and I think about it more, the more emotional I'm getting. Friday is going to be a great, but sad day for us all. Let's enjoy it and create an incredible atmosphere that the old girls deserves.

Come on you Saints!!!

All this emotion only to find out in a few weeks that there's another game on 27th December.

As a wigan fan I can't describe the feelings I have for knowsley road but I'll have a go because I've loved going there and watching the best derby in the world!

I'm only a young un and started going to away games regularly about 1999. About the time Our ground was closing which was emotional and as soon as I walked in to the ground there was something special and traditional which I enjoyed straight away. Whether it was sitting on the wall at the front and being so close to the action or the fact that I myself enjoyed peeing on the wall under the family stand I think.

The ground always produced one of the greatest atmosphere's I've ever experienced. It actually sent shivers down my spine being stood in the away end on derby day. Just the incredible tension around the ground and the banter between both sets of fans which for the majority of the time was of a very good nature.

I've seen some terrible wigan performances at KR including the tragic 75-0 game! And also many other trouncings around that time but still every year I've enjoyed the build up to the day. Waking up early on a friday morning, getting the 34 into town, followed by weatherspoons and then a stroll to the ground! How that is going to be missed!

My favourite moment from visiting Knowsley Road was the 21-21 derby game. Still to this day the atmosphere when farrell and sculthorpe where scrapping was fantastic.

One thing I will say about Knowsley road is that it holds alot of memories for me as a visitor and I am going to miss it. Yes, Saints do need to move with the times and to move forward do need to move to a new ground but what a place it has been!

I actually had a tear in my eye the last time I was there with wigan because I knew it was likely to be the last time I would visit the ground and something deep down inside me actually quite dissapointed that you chose huddersfield in club call this week because I wanted another one of those fantastic fridays in St.Helens and to experience more Knowsley Road derby day atmosphere!

RIP KR and thanks for the memories good and bad!
