TBF Wigan Fans buy more tickets for the Cup Final "Pre" the finallists being known so that would have evened it up a bit! :wink:

Shoe on the other foot! Your lot would have looked like a Bradford Away trip to St Helens!

Shame we all can't take as many as HKR!

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

You think you aged

I went into the stadium a 18 year old gym freak. I came out wearing slippers and feeling i needed a pacemaker

Moi v Gateshead.

played at Hearts F.C.

Red hot day traveling up.

Temperature around 26 degrees.

Around 10 miles from Edinburgh, dark clouds. Temperature plummeted to 16 degrees.

Sort of set the tone for the weekend.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Don't even think we picked up a Wigan fan either - remember Stains and Hudds, I think. Got to the ground just after 2pm for a 2.45pm KO - cutting it fine or what!

Journey back was so much better though, the only time it's been nice to have some Stains fans on a coach with me! Got back to JJB around 1am, home for 2am, up that morning and flew from Manchester to Jamaica for 2 weeks - Wigan top and all!!!

Let's see if we can do it on Sat now - fingers crossed!!!

Agreed it was superb but the older generation(you to jukes) will remember the famous 1989 cup final.............27-0 That was also awesome

WIGAN RLFC IS MORE THAN A RUGBY CLUB - IT'S A RELIGION
There will always be a Wigan Warriors no matter what the bitter & twisted blues say

Walking into the ground with my dad behind an elderly couple. My dad clocked who it was and told me it was Johnnie Lawrenson (ask your grandad). Anyhoo, the chap in the kiosk was of a similar age and was stuned to see him. As he took our ticket he said I don't believe it, that's Johnnie Lawrenson we played Rugby together when we did our National Service.

They hadn't seen each other for 60 years.

We gave him an Uncle Joe and moved on.

Fated that day was

Got a 100% record for games in Edinburgh over the last 10 years:

Stains game
Gatehead
London v Bradford in 98 when Edwards ran the show
Bull v Whinos CC Final.

Although it does help that erindoors in a Sweaty and we used to have a flat in Edinburgh. Lets just say I know where to get a drink at the weekend.
