Seeing as many people are remembering our World Club Challenge wins over the years, I thought it would be good to see people's general memories, good or bad, as a Wigan fan.

I'll start the ball rolling with this:

I know most will say we didn't win anything that year, but this game will be something I will always remember, I've never seen Wiganers travel in numbers like we did that night. And the game? Step up Mark Calderwood, you beauty! Trent Barrett Warriors back then aswell! icon_smile.gif

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ? Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ? When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx] [color=#FF0000:qtnftxzx][list:qtnftxzx]Gotta' love 'em.[/list:u:qtnftxzx][/color:qtnftxzx] [color=#FF0000:qtnftxzx]"You can shove yer f****** England up yer a***"[/color:qtnftxzx]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_51917.jpg



That bradford game was one special night. Another favourite of mine was the leeds game a couple years ago, when Bailey scored in the last minute

Wembley 1985 - I will never forget it and despite the Hull come back for some reason I was sure we were going to win.
The last few games at CP as I made sure my then 5 year old son got to see a few games before the old ground disappeared.
Murryfield 2002 as there were three generations of us there that day, my son, my dad and me.
2010 Grand Final - it was great to see my now 16 year old son and now committed Wigan fan so delighted after the barren years since 2002.

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 - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Bradford 2007 is a favourite for the numbers we took and how nuts we went at the full time whistle. Never seen anything like that even at a final!!!

2010 GF was special because we had not won it for 12 years.

2002 Murrayfield!

Greatest Moment - 27th February 2011 when we beat St George in front of 25,000 Wiganers and Sam Tomkins scored the winning try in the last minute after taking a bomb in his own 10 metre's and running the full length of the pitch.

The Bradford game was beautifully followed up by the Hull game as well.

I think the bradford game for me i was stood on the bradford terrrace on the 30 meter line and it was amazing seeing all the wigan fans jumpin up and down (trent barrett was awesome that nite world class player)

All of the above and does anyone remember the 23-3 against Saints in the 93 CC - sweet. Also have to say that last year was really special - celebrations in the Wigan end for Joel's try at Warrington, final hooter at Saints on Good Friday, the moment Gleeson went in for his second try at OT and the way the players celebrated Farrell's no-try!

I didn't start watching wigan until around 2000 so missed all the glory of the 80's and 90's so for me its the last 10 or so years, which despite not as much success trophy wise have still seen some great moments.

Bradford in 2007 was immense and ill never forget how crazy it was when richards slotted over that drop goal. I don't think i've ever been so excited at a rugby match. When carney scored "that" try at leeds in 2003 at leeds in the playoffs was also a great moment. Watching us lift the sl last year was also great to see but like i said, just for sheer excitment and disbelief i think the bradford game would be the winner.
