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
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

They have indeed. Seems weird having summer rugby and then finishing in the cold and rain to be honest. We should finish ealier.
Anyway, that week after the Leeds game was very strange, fans of Wigan on a high and low at the same time. Emotions didn't know what to do during the minutes silence pre game, weird feeling!
Like the OP says, lets hope this doesn't happen to any other RL players. |

I was queuing up for GF tickets when people were talking about it. A hard-hitting moment and really put things into perspective after being in such a joyous mood all day. |

Was at the Lancashire v Yorkshire BARLA game at Warrington. A rumour started going roung that Terry had been found dead. Later the afternoon, Andy Gregory who was at the game confirmed it. Changed a good day into a horrible one. As a Trinity fan i was glad he`d signed for us, shame it turned out like it did.

Wigan rugby league, hated, adored but never ignored
Terry Newton - 07.11.78 - 26.09.10 - R.I.P.: |

RIP Terry, gone but never forgotten.
I'm still very saddened by this tragedy and just wish that something could have been done to save him.

I think a Lancashire vs Yorkshire game would be fitting tribute to Terry. As a Lancashire Lad who spent most of his playing career in Yorkshire, it would be most fitting. I'd say play it at Wigan - but i'm not sure Kaiser Dave will allow that. So either Leeds or Bradford would be a good place to stage it. All proceeds to Terry's Family & State of Mind.
Also it would serve as a warm up for some of our guys for the four nations.
Play it the week after the GF. I'm sure it would be well attended. |

There's an England Knights game against France at the LSV the week after the Grand Final so would presumably feature all those who aren't playing the week before. |

I've just finished reading his autobiography and I am struggling to get my head around it all.
As you say, wish someone could have spotted the danger signs and saved,what seems like, an incredibly likeable and popular guy.
If a game is fixed up somewhere in Wigan ,Orrell,St Pats,St Judes or DW we will happily come across from Leeds |

Cheers for that. Do you know where it's at?
It's not being publicised very well |
