Yes forgot about that was a tuesday night or wednesday and the whitbread stand wasnt even built was as packed as the manly game

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Best I have been to was Leeds play-off in 2003 and Bradford play-off 2008.... neither were for singing but just pure tension.
Best for singing must be the away wins at saints down the years.
The manly game etc. were before my time.

| Wembley 1985 - that was the last time 100,000 were allowed onto the stadium for any sport. My ears aren't great, but it was deafening and just when you didn't think it could get any louder, it did.
Headingley 1986 - Over 24,000 + and 'zipzip' Ella stuffed Leeds almost on his own. The open terrace/end was jammed with Wigan fans and it was a night match.
1987 - Manly - 40,000 - A jampacked Central Park. Nothing better.

The loss to STS in the lancs cup final at Central Park when Menninga played (1984 ?).
26k was the official attendance. It was so loud and a great game/atmosphere (even though a loss)..'"
Yes it was pretty noisy. I still have the video for that match somewhere where Ray French mentions about all the noise.

| I too am too young to remember the Manly game, but for me it would have to be the Bradford Playoff at Odsal where Pat kicked the drop goal to win, or the one against Bradford at the JJB, can't remember the year but Renouf made a break with a few seconds to go and Radlinski scored leaving Farrell with a kick to win the match, that was immense!!
