1986 Wigan v Australia. My dad took me and I was sat on the old concrete roof over the dug out. Managed to get Noel Cleals autograph afterwards during the fans pitch invasion.

1985 Wigan v Hull challenge cup final. What a spectical. It was awsome, i was only young but can remember it like it was yesturday. The only game that can match that atmosphere and that emotion, was the first world club championship against Manly 
Happy days

Ha Ha Ha, i had forgot about crawling under the turnstyles!Doug Stand posted:
1980 I think... Lancashire cup first round game Wigan beat Rochdale Hornets 19-9 at central park. 20pence for a programme. £1 entrance for my Dad and free for me as they used to let me crawl underneath the turnstyles at the Colin St entrance.
Happy Days! ( and I don't mean the Fonz played for Wigan)

I went to several matches from the first season back in Division 1 but I cannot remember any of them. The first match I truly remember was v Hull KR at Central Park. We had just signed Phil Ford, Steve Donlan etc and Hull KR alongside Hull were the best teams. We beat KR that day in a superb match. A Meninga led Saints beating us in the Lancs Cup is an early memory too. First Challenge Cup Final was 1984 v Widnes and I have not missed one since (involving Wigan). My biggest regret is not going on an Ashes tour Down Under.
