Aye. The old ground was before my time so have only ever been to the 'new' CP. To be fair it looks better now then it's ever done, although admittedly that's not saying a lot.

Let's go and throw some celery on the pitch just to finish it off

Just watched those Hilton Park Videos, Quite sad really, Never had much of an affinity with the place, only went 3 or 4 times, But thinking about the History that goes when an old ground is flattened is very sad, Seeing Tommy Sale stood alongside the demolition is sad especially given how much the place meant to him.

Still, Times change, Onwards and Upwards and all that

Wigan 47,747 v Stains in 1959.

I was there.
I believe that is the highest attendance for any league game.

Amazing how Wigan appear in so many record attendances isn't it.

not really ,they were quite a successful club in years gone by !

To be fair I don't think their successive title and Challenge Cup winning records will ever be beat! Was reading the other day about how Alex Ferguson has won something like 30 trophies in 23 years. Whilst it's impossible to compare football and RL, bet Wigan won nearly the same amount in 10 years.
