I wasn`t close to tears due to the amount of alcohol inside of me , but I did think it was like the old Wembley days when you could hear different parts of our side of the ground chanting .

This is a start for us we`re seeing younger fans joining us and enjoying success , we`ll take alot of our younger Wiganers away from the blue side of town .

We`re going to be even better next season , bring it on

Quote: Rogues Gallery "I was so made up for our younger supporters, and the ones like the big yin here who haven't seen anything like the highs (and indeed lows) that I have.

When that final hooter sounded I hugged mini and thought about my dad and what it would have meant to him.
Yes I shed a tear.

And today has made it even better in that I have had some fantastic news, which I will share with friends in a few weeks.


I went to see my mother (aged 8icon_cool.gif today and the smile on her face was worth a million pounds. I had a whisky, she had a brandy and we toasted the victory.
Thank you Wigan RLFC, you did us all proud.'"



I had more than a few tears in my eyes after the final whistle, today at the homecoming and also reading your post Rogues..

Wigan is OUR club... we are back and I am expecting a few more tears of joy over the next few years... It is with a huge amount of gratitude that I thank everyone who has worked tirelessly to get our club back to were it now stands... yes things will get even better, of that I have no doubt.. But a few glasses of wine tonight and another replay of the game, I will go into work tomorrow with the biggest smile on my
face.. icon_biggrin.gif

I challenge anyone to YOUTUBE the video of M-people and "PROUD" and not have a few tears after this weekends exploits...

Wasn't around in the glory years but the special thing with Wigan RLFC is that those that were pass on the experiences!

Only known bad times (mostly) as a Wigan fan.

Got a good telling off from the other half as I cried as the players walked out and between the fireworks!
Proud!

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple? "unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened "I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg

Throughout the match I shed a few tears, After the match I look to the to the sky at my mother who passed away on Friday evening and I knew she would have been proud of the victory.

I was close to blubbing but resorted to hugging strangers and firm handshakes.

Any fan who didn't resort to some form of celebration must need there bumps feeling for concussion and made to watch the GF in a dark room for 24 hours solid.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif



I'm sorry, I didn't. I was made up beyond belief and jumping around like an idiot hugging everyone in sight shouting 'Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh' but one thing I really can't do is cry. Not taking away anything from anyone who did as people have their own reasons for doing so and fair play to you, I'm sure my time will come.

The only time since being a kid I had a tear in my eye was when Greg passed away and on Granada reports showed him scoring the try V Australia in 88 for GB with the Verve - Drugs Don't Work on in the background.

Thank you Steve, It made the victory even more beautiful in an unusual way. It just stirred my passion even more.

I didn't cry but felt immensely happy simply for the fact that my 12 yr old son was sat next to me and his previous experience of a final was the challenge cup in 2004 where I made him stay to watch Saints lift the cup despite his tears.

I reminded him of the fact at full time and I think we sang the songs at the end of the game together that little bit louder because of that.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach. Sat 27th April 2002 St Helens 12 Wigan 21 Edinburgh - Sat 4th May 2002 Celtic 2 Rangers 3 Glasgow (Carlsberg dont do weeks, but if they did.....) //www.internationalrugbyleague.net/:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36409.jpg

Indeed Brian, thanks for that... very apt! And as for you both toasting to the late Mr Rouse icon_cheers.gif

or maybe that mini has finally decided to wash his hands of the other team he supports icon_wink.gif

They did us proud alright, thats for sure. a014.gif
