What a day. I was living in a 2nd floor flat at the time and was so emotionally drained (and copiously refreshed) that when our Maude heard a feeble rapping on the flat door she opened it thinking no-one was there. Looked down I'd made it up the stairs on my knees, clutching a giant unopened kebab from Wesleys!



Our coach journey home was superb. We were on a bus driven by some brummie but when we overtook a st's coach it was such a laugh he got into the spirit of things, slowed down to let them past and then re-overtook it about 4 times.

WORST DAY EVER!

Was that the year they had to play at Wakefield just after and a lot of the squad shaved their heads before that game

Yeah that was it.



Newton looked like he'd just come off death row for the game

I remember running up and down the steps to check the big screen.



I remember the moment when it sunk in that we had won. Everybody doing rolly-ploys on the grass outside the stadium. Fantastic.







I wonder if there are any supporters on these forums who decided not to go as they thought we'd get battered?







100,000 Wiganers were there that day, don't you know.

Living in the past. Seven years ago and coherently your last trophy success.

Great day



Little tip, never start drinking at 7:30 in the morning without eating..you may be a little dizzy about 12 ish

That was it Phil, it was on the Wednesday after the Murrayfield final, and they won.



God knows how, half of them were still p*ss*d.

I cant believe i was 12 the last time we won a trophy

Like rats deserting a sinking ship our fans for that day.



I couldn't believe the doom and gloom amoungst the part timers around the town that week.



It seemed that only the hardcore bothered to turn up which in a way made it more special.

Erm, the thread is about Murrayfield and our game happens to be the last game played there.

I was on my brothers Stag weekend at Butlins so couldn't go in 2002. I remember we got in a pub at 11 o clock and watched Liverpool get beat by Spurs, Wigan Snotter Stains and then Man U beat Liecester City. I had £10 on dallas for 1st try and Radders for Lance Todd. I got nearly£300 back and was totally wrecked at the end of it. Great weekend but I'd have given it all up to have been there! Come on Wigan, Its our turn to win one of these bloody derby games!
