That one was a defining moment - paved the way to 1st Wembley in 14 years, but my fave was 82 just up from the 2nd division and we won a Challenge Cup tie at Knowsley Road on national tv - which had the town talking about us for the 1st time in years. We lost narrowly to cup kings Widnes in the next round in front of a massive crowd signalling we were back in the big time.

I have only just noticed that I think it was Terry o Connor that started fighting and then ended up being peacemaker towards the end. But how brave was the touch judge

| For me possibly it would be the game where we were 16-0 down after about ten minutes but then ten minutes later were 20-16 in the lead. Never has "you're not singing any more" been sung as loudly at KR. Boring second half but the first half was probably the best I've ever seen.
Or the game where we had a man sent off (Henry Paul I think) and then Tuigamala put in an inspirational show to lead us to victory, what a fantastic powerhouse performance that was. Schofield should watch a video of that game if he thinks Inga was a failure as a league player, no one was more powerful than Tuigamala on his day. In that game he seemed at times to be taking on almost the entire Saints team on his own (and winning!). Unbelievable stuff.
But the all time favourite moment for me has to be the mass brawl and ensuing confrontation between Faz and Sculthorpe.
These games are so special: one thing we and our scouse friends can agree on is that there is nothing better in RL than Wigan/Saints derbies.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Enjoy it while you can, we took the pi55about Central Park but jeez do I miss it now.
KR is one of the last few real RL grounds, fingers crossed that at least with standing behind the goals at the new site you will not have to put up with the all seater e that we have to at away derby games.

I heard away fans will be down the sideline to one side in seats.

Can;t see that TBH, from what i am hearing, one end of the ground will be season ticket only, the other will be a mixture of season tickets and pay on the day.
Big cup games will mean an allocation of seats and standing for the visits of wire and yourselves, if drawn in the cup I can see you both being allocated an entire end of standing.

I think you will just have an away end then. You won't be filling it every week.

| Anyone remember 65-12 in 1997?
Wigan winning 51-0 at one stage and Karle Hammond lost his rag with us when they were waiting under the sticks for Farrell to convert a try.....brilliant!

Was just going to post the memory that always sticks in my mind is Simon Haughton tearing them to pieces and running a couple of beauties in right infront of that away end with the Wigan fans going nuts.
That was that game wasn't it?
A stunning preformence in the blue version of that awful Warrior kit.
