The storm damaged posts which seemed to go unrepaired for weeks on end including an embarrassing appearance on Grandstand!

Has anyone mentioned Tommy God scoring the last ever try there?

If so it's always worth a mention again




I'm watching the tape now



There were some very poor players on show that day for both teams.

It was Test 2 of 3.

1982 Australia 40-4 Hull 26,771
1982 Australia 27-6 Wigan 23,216
1982 Australia 32-8 Leeds 17,318

I've put a few selected quotes on the site page wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... page_id=48 Plus of list of Test Matches, Other Internationals, Roses Matches and Cup Finals played at Central Park.

They couldn't see because of fireworks? How did that work? Were the fireworks on the pitch or just really distracting?

It created a fog worse than Odsal this year, they were not so much fireworks but more like bl00dy big flares!!!!!!!

Tommy God produced 2 flashes of genius just the same as Robinson did the pass out of the back door to Sully was pure class. Just a shame he never brought his kicking boots.

Central Park 1 minutes silences were louder than the noise when Tommy went over for that last try

Being 15 i only vaguely remember cp but the one outstanding memory i have was Wigan vs Bradford 97/98 season the 1 in the rain. i knew after that game that Wigan was for me. My grandads garden still has central park turf in it, a proud souvenier.

my first memories of THE PARK were of me sellin programs as a teenager...meeting mo in the progress and thinkin you swine coz if takins were down it came out your earnings.........my best memories of CP where being there with my dad every home game ..........at the right hand side of the whitbread stand where they always left the milk crate for my mum on the occasions she came ........................0h and of course beating manly as a young player it inspired me no end..............long be it remembered CENTRAL PARK ...the home of legends and dreams...........R..

as a guest at the JJB Last night i have to say like the Halliwell jones the facilities are much better at our new grounds but you cant beat the old places can you ?

Central Park was my second favourite ground.
Whether it was a locker cup pre season friendly -(Later scrapped due to their un friendly nature) or a tough league encounter which we often lost or the Premiership semi final that we won when Paul Bishop banged over five drop goals for a laugh, they were the best games in a season without doubt...

newer Wire fans are trying to create Wire Widnes Derbies as something special they never will in my eyes...theyve never been to Central Park probably....

We did manage to beat Wigan there occasionaly and we even beat Saints there 16-0 in a lancashire cup final!

but my best moment was doing the conga round the posts after we beat Oldham in the Semi final of the Challenge cup in 1990. (you tonked us in the final .....swines..... )

Never saw Leeds beats Wigan at Central Park



Best memory was beating Saints in 94 in semi to make CC final, in which we lost to some other team from Lancashire whose name I just cannot seem to recall right now....
