Friday 23rd April 2010, 20:00
Wigan Warriors 26 (24) VS. London Broncos (6) 38
Attendance: 18,605 Official: P Bentham Venue: DW Stadium

Special St Georges day match has reminded me this week. Normal first half (24-6 down) followed by amazing second half to get the Wigan walk going, only about 1,800 at full time I think! Ben Jones-Bishop got the stud through the skull just before half time (which is why the scrum cap now) tries by all our once greats David Howell, Luke Dorn 2, Will Sharp, Robert Purdham, Chad Randall. Not a bad word said to me in the Wigan pubs that night, all thought we deserved it.

Quote: shinymcshine "31 Aug 1997 - The Stoop

London 28 Bradford 24

Emotional day at The Stoop, over 9000 there, Diana died in the morning (rumours game could be called off), Bradford top of the league and London in second place, Richard Branson on board (together with Offiah and Edwards on the pitch)and everything looking very positive.....'"


Bradford's first defeat of the season that too.

Travelled down on the coach with my dad, no idea if the game was going to be on or not until we got there. Had to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning to get up to Odsal to get on the coach and saw the news not long after it was first announced. Walked into the bar at the stadium when arrived (or was it a pub? I forget, but it was full of fans) and there were a load of people watching the news there in silence. The first words out of my dad's mouth were "She's still ing dead then?"

Never been prouder of him.

Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9.jpg

Main memory of that night was the sheer amount of Bulls fans down at the Stoop.

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif



Bradford 97, Canberra 97 as mentioned already. Of those the Canberra game for the performance.

For very personal reasons the following game though we lost 18 - 22 against Halifax in t'cup on 25 November 1995 at the Stoop in front of 800. Same year we played at Copthall, Valley and Brentford and finished sixth.

All that rugby puts hairs on your chest, what chance have you got against a tie and a crest?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1434.jpeg



Too many great days/nights watching London to narrow it down to one,and many have already been covered on here,the away wins were always sweeter for me,
Beating Cas in the semi at Headingley,
Beating Bulls in Scotland at Hearts ground
Beating Leeds in Perpigan,
Not too hot on remembering dates etc as grog was normally heavily involved,but miss those away games.
