Last game at Central Park

Post by Barney841 »

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......

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

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

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)!
