I remember Gill's offside/in touch try!
7-6 to Wigan?

Definitely, for 4/5 years Bradford at home was 2nd only to the Stains match.
23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
Rilo wrote:There was another game in 93/94 I think that was called off after 20 because of fog. I remember it came in over the top of the (only) stand there and just filled the bowl up. Offiah scored I think, but nobody could see a flippin' thing!
That was a Sky televised match which Eddie Hemmings had fun trying to describe once the fog bedded in! I remember something involving Offiah but I'm not sure it was a try. The Rothmans book says Wigan trailed 4-2 when it was called in the 13th minute - Gerald Cordle scoring for Bradford. Frano still kicked a penalty goal in the fog!

I've never hugged so many people i didn't know in my life....when Pat kicked the drop goal to win it.......it was unbelievable!!
What a night that was
Was with a couple of mates and one of ther dad's who when we were 30-6 down said 'Should I warm the car up?'

Thank God he didn't
I was in the toilet because I couldnt watch and then I heard everyone screaming and came running out and then saw Calderwood with open field ahead and started jumping round with everyone at the top of the steps at Bradford, my pants fell down though and I honestly didnt realise, I dont really remember pulling them up I was too excited.
One of the best things about that game was the fact we had just beaten Saints the game before which was a really good game and there was another great game to follow at Hull, if I had to pick my most exciting month as a Wigan fan it might just be that one.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

It was a good time to be a Wigan fan
Seeing the best of Barrett was great
Hull was a fantastic day out, great game, great atmosphere
