Amazing memories. I don't want them to move. Love the place. If Latics go bust before it gets knocked down, shall we steel the away end and put it where the south stand is

I feel for the Saints fans this weekend, I know when I sat there on the steps of the Popular stand after the last game at Central park it was a truly emotional occasion. I know its a shed and many saints fans will be glad to see it go but when its gone its gone and when all your left with is the memories. Its hard not to miss the amazing times you spent there.

I don't really like the DW, yes the facilities are great but until this year with the flags, its been completly souless, part of that for me is the lack of standing area and the lack of real atmosphere. I am one who likes to stand near the singers and buzz off the atmosphere, it just doesn't happen for me at the DW.

Maybe along with a Flag club.. we could look at a singing/ atmosphere club were we could get say a band on the go. Trumpet player/ drums etc.. just like they do in the south stand at leeds.

I will also miss going there, great memories! I'll miss standing in a space you can't fit in but not caring as you was watching the best derby in RL. I'll miss hugging strangers stood around you just because your all together, against the enemy. I'll miss going there expecting to lose, and then pulling off a surprise result! I'll miss seeing moments such as Pongia's chip to Carney, or Cunnigham's tackle on Mark Smith in front of our eyes. It was a dump, the enemies dump, but winning there was moments to remember. The pandemonium when Feka went over this year showed how much winning there meant to us.

Feka Paleaaesina the last ever Wiganer to score at Knowsley Road!

At the end of the day - who gives a monkeys about facilities. You go to RL ground to be as close to the action as possible - so you can hear the players bones crunching as they go in to a tackle and hear the crowd getting on top of the players and the opposition fans.

It's a big shame one of the last proper RL grounds is going under the bulldozer for an identikit stadium - the biggest shame wil be all the young fans who are yet to start watching the game will soon never get the chance to watch a game as it should be watched, standing up on a steep terrace.........

Not strictly true as our new ground will have standing at both ends.

Goodbye the Dump

Some e memories - step forward 75-0

But a great memory with the last ever derby win there (and my first ever victory at there ground)

agree with the above, but

I'll miss the atmosphere on derby day (but not the facilities)!

Lets be honest, its a dump! But it created one of an atmosphere when 5000 Wiganers packed into that end.

I have my wallpaper set for this sad occasionhttp://riversiders.rlfans.com/images/wallpaper.jpg" >

until December.

Wouldn't, shouldnt and probably couldn't happen! Aren't the bull dozers in in October?

Salvage tonight and enjoy your last game there.............assuming your going???

AND TO BE PEDANTIC AS I AM - LAST DERBY WAS OURS FACE FACTS LOVE

Safety cert expires end October, so no chance.

apparently the only issue is Taylor Wimpy, who will by then have taken charge of the land in front of the stadium, and may have blocked access to the site.

And rightlty so, part of me wishes that Saints would have picked Wigan for tonights game, that would have been the send off the stadium deserves.
