My first post, hi everyone.

Name: Steve

Age: 45

Living in: Padgate

Marital status: married, 3 kids, 1 dog

Wife works for NHS, knows Wirewoman but Wirewomen doesn't know the wife!

Been watching wire for 35 yrs, got a complimentary season ticket in 1972 for painting the barriers in the stands at the railway end in the summer holidays

Best memories: Wembley '74 and '75, although the semi finals were better, championship playoff at Swinton in 1977 V's Saints, got thrown off the train at newton-le-willows on the way home, Australia '78 (?) and 9 a side trophy at wigan, '86 play off V's Halifax (Boyd, Tamati, Jackson) Wembley 1990, Johns V Leeds last September

Who's going to Leeds?

What a good name for a group! The Wigan Illuminati. Far better than Ultras or Brigantes. They could have Halos instead of flags.

despite me only introducing myself to slim away at catalan last year, my first actual experience of talking to him, was away at wigan in 2002, when we got ted, we spent most of the second half talking about rammstein.

seen as everyone else is doing it
