Fifteen two fifteen four fifteen six and one for his nob.:7009.jpg



I remember a match in the late 60's when we were playing like a bunch of tarts and the crowd were booing and very restless - when all of a sudden there was a massive crack of thunder and this guy shouts out from the back of the Popular Side " And thats what he thinks of it as well".
Remember the opening night of the floodlights in 1967 when the lights went out time after time and the crowd all lit up matches.
Getting into the ground with your Dad waiting at the gate of the Hen Pen.
The sevens match when Dave Regan got sent off with some guy for fighting and they carried on fighting all the way to the tunnel and all the way up it.
Fantastic days but I have to say there have already been some great times at the JJB.

One of my favourite memories was of my dad sending me running round to the pop stand terrace from our seats at the back of the pop stand to see what score it was when we'd lost track as we couldn't see the scoreboard from our seats. Great days.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



Quote: Lippy "Do you remember the little men (looked like weetabix men) dancing when we scored. And when the "score flash" flashed, you could hear all the crowed saying "score flash". If saints where getting beat the cheer would be as loud as when we scored a try.
Didn't that scoreboard get sold to Widnes or Leigh??'"


Now you say it I do. Half of the lights used to be missing of it half the time too.

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



When there was a red card it showed an electronic image of a player trudging off with a bowed head and IIRC it said 'Early Bath' icon_lol.gif

"Arguably the best Rugby League side certainly in the last 40 years!" Phil Clarke.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_13707.jpg



Getting our butts kicked by Widnes in the Regal Trophy final. Davies destroyed us before half time. We were lucky to beat Salford in the semi to be fair.

I can always remember the last match at CP I was stood right in the middle of the popular stand and opening try where Robinson made a break and Betts finished the move under the posts and the screaming noise nearly blew my ear drums out a050.gif
