Sorry lads, but can you not keep these convos for other places? I don't know about what everyone else thinks but it gets abit boring having to read through them all all the time.

You've obviously not read my previous posts! I equal that record. I was at Wigan v Manly on 7th October '87 aged 5 days. Get in. (Don't remember anything until 1991 when I was 4.)

Ok... let me refresh my memory. I've never been to a Challenge Cup final, gasp! :o

I think my dad would have had me watching all the finals but the first final I vividly remember watching with the family was 1993 I believe. I would have been 5 years old, almost 6. And I remember having a Red & White Day at primary school because Dean Bell's son Curtis was in the year above me! And it was great, quite a few Wigan players came into school and I got Dean's autograph. Wow that was fair vivid for a 5 year old. :) It's all coming back to me now.

The 88 one against halifax was my first ever final in the capital and gotta be my fave memory. I was a single girl of 20 really really drunk and had to get off the coach to have a wee behind a parked transit van in a traffic jam. My next fave was the 27-0 saints game. Got back to riverside quite drunk [again] and met a great lad from Scotland. we travelled between homes for 2 months!!then was that. Another great day out was the Shefield game! We sang all the way home and would not let anyone sulk on the coach. They were mighty sick of us by the time we got off. Last year was good, different atmosphere in Cardiff and will be sampleing it again this year.. :lol:
