[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy.....

Quote: Petedawarrior "When wigan played Brisbane broncos at central park and they had to stop the match beacuse the players cud not see b coz ov all the fireworks.'"

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

[quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league. It is a hard pill to swallow but unbelievably true.[/quote:2tzw9wtk]:2538.png

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

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif



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. a014.gif

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 icon_sad.gif

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.... icon_biggrin.gif

[b:3fhhmde5][size=150:3fhhmde5]THE CO-OPERATIVE CHAMPIONSHIP NEEDS A STRONG WIGAN[/size:3fhhmde5][/b:3fhhmde5]:



Not many great memories as a Cas fan of Central Park but my 1st ever international match in 1986 GB V Australia in the 3rd was special despite the result and a dodgy French referee.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg
