I don't know if it was my first memory but I remember my dad taking me to my first game. It was against Wigan and we were in the main stand. The only thing I remember is that it was a night match and someone kicking the ball into touch and it ricocheting off the stand onto the back of someone's head on the terrace below.

I'd love to know what year it was. I suspect it was later than my first ever Man Utd game, which I remember as clear as day.

No memory of specific games of my early years in the late 50’s with my mum, but at half time kids were allowed to sit on a wooden bench inside the perimeter wall.
Can just about remember Bev scoring in his final game right in the corner where we were stood.
Also when I was about 10 ish, getting a primrose & blue scarf for Christmas, first home game after this was against Barrow. After match walking over Wilderspool bridge, some ‘big’ Barrow kids, pinched it. I went home in tears.
Was it really that long ago?

Funny I was thinking last night about old memories.

One stirred last night when gargling mouthwash....
It smelt like the tunnel and sub bench at wilderspool.

And I got a bottle of ale for a stew I made.... It smelled like the many empties of bullseye brown ale left around the tables in the wooden popular stand.

Although I'd been to Wilderspool before and had seen Wire at Wigan, my first real memory of Wire was the 59 - 60 Lancashire Cup Final Wire v Saints at Central Park.

I was in the "hen pen" and remember Saints switching Tommy Voll to the left wing to mark Brian Bevan. Bevan scored in the corner from a kick through just beating Vollenhoven to the ball and Wire won 5 - 4, which made a young Wigan Rogue very happy indeed.

John Bevans debut in 1973

My 1st Wire memory was against Leigh at Hilton Park in the 70's. I knew nothing about RL & can only describe the match as legalised thuggery. We were stood by the players tunnel & every Wire player coming off had cuts to the mouth & face, black eyes, bloody noses & loads of general bumps & bruises to the face.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

A freezing cold night, that I'm almost sure was Bonfire night...playing Halifax at wilderspool, we lost and I just remember John Schuster knocking over conversion after conversion. Don't know what year.

And that's why you signed Murphy as coach.

My first game was 1984(ish) against Bradford Northern. Stood in the Fletcher Street end with the old man and couldn't see a thing as I was too small to see over people in front of me being 11 and about 4'6". I do remember two players, Phil Ford and Rick Thackeray on the wings. Honestly couldn't say who else played, but thinking I was as fast as lightening it was those two flyers that caught my attention. I'm sure we won the game as there seemed to be lots of tries for the Wire down in front of the Fletch, but could well be mistaken. Didn't go again until 1987 when I was a bit taller and could see what was going on, and also knew a lot more about the game as we played it at high school (we never even had a rugby ball to play with at primary) and Wire had won the Premiership the year before and got into a couple of finals that year.

I have vivid memories of THAT night game in 1978 v Australia. I was 12 and had been to a few games over the previous couple of years but still remember the atmosphere of that night. Reading what Mike Nicholas said about that game still gives me goose bumps today.

First game at Wilderspool late 60's v Cas and we got beat told my dad I preferred Castleford and got a clip round my ear for my trouble ha ha well deserved

First game for me was a CC home tie against Bradford. Not sure of year, 86 I think. My vivid memory is of John Woods and Terry Holmes absolutely ripping us to shreds, which did not quite compute with my teenaged expectations. When Wire signed Woods a season (or two) later, I was delighted, and he didn't disappoint. A genius.
