Just watched the last game at Central Park, Wigan vs saints.
It was in 1999 but it still made the hairs on my neck stand on end. Brutal and full of heart and courage, from both teams.

Was a truly emotional day. Red hot, and packed to the gills, and putting one over the smellies......

Unfortunately rugby league will never be the same as it was at central park

Your right. Atmosphere in Central Park was awesome. Never forget the games with saints there.

On a par with Manley in '87. Now that WAS an atmosphere....

And when we beat saints a few days before in the lancs cup ( floodlight failure one)….. great days

I think that was when Ian Roberts made his debut?? What a glorious time to be a Wigan fan...

It was….. they only announced it pre kick off….. thats when our club could sign big names and keep it under wraps

The atmosphere was good for some games. But mainly it was quiet and often the crowd would actually be on wigans back. I did enjoy standing in the away crowd for the banter though (mostly)!
