I wasn`t close to tears due to the amount of alcohol inside of me , but I did think it was like the old Wembley days when you could hear different parts of our side of the ground chanting .

This is a start for us we`re seeing younger fans joining us and enjoying success , we`ll take alot of our younger Wiganers away from the blue side of town .

We`re going to be even better next season , bring it on

What's the touch line like down there mate? 'It's long, it's white, it's about a hundred metres long!'. Xbox 360 Tag : FrowningPiano PS3 Tag : dan_tess:12437.jpg



A tear or two at the game, a tear or two when I watched it on the recording when I got home yesterday, and another tear or two when I watched it on the BBC highlights! icon_biggrin.gif

I'm welling up again just reading this thread!

After what we've had to endure over the last 10 years or so, this win is fantastic. The dark days of relegation battling, of being absolutely thrashed by Stains and the Whinos, of being humiliated at home by teams like Wakey and Huddersfield on a regular basis, of SC infringements and all the other rubbish are now behind us.

Not only do we have the best team, the best squad, the best coaching staff and the best chairman, we have the best fans and the biggest fanbase. What the rest of RL has feared for a long time has now happened. The greatest club in the game has risen again and not only are we back, we are back with a vengeance. Bring on the WCC and the 2011 season, I can't wait!

[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



My 5 year old lad cried when Pat got injured and didn't come back on and also when he spilled his diet coke. Nearly wept at paying £3.20 for 330ml beer. We won, it felt great but no tears from me.

No tears.. but just a hell of a lot of pride and relief.

How good was it to see not just our passion, but the players passion at the end shining through and defending our line for each other and for that trophy.

Onwards and Upwards.

Yup, me and JTB stood there blubbing whilst Grego took photos of us and Mrs JTB shouted 'oh my gaaaaaarrrrrddddddddddd' at incredible volume! I also had a tear in my eye when we were presented with the League Leaders' shield, when we won at Headingley and subsequently every time I've watched the end of the GF, from when the final hooter goes to when SOL lifts the trophy. And when I was telling everyone the tale of the GF in work this morning. And now, writing this. God bless Lancome waterproof mascara!

I just hope that, in the event we have more success over the coming years, I still always have the same reaction.
