A couple more from me. The trip to Barrow was always one of my favourites back in the day when we seem to be up there all the time. It still is.

I enjoyed the trip and it was great to experience Craven Park and the Barrow supporters who were a great bunch and seemed to love the big day. It was also good to see the players and coaches faces when the Wigan supporters were singing for them as they were doing the lap of honour...They were absolutely loving it.

Super League seriously needs to be up there.

I agree with that bit, I think that made them realise how well they had played.

We had a great day out. Went up on the train from Wigan. Had a few pints in the pub before the match, really good atmosphere.
Great atmosphere in the ground.
Then we went into another pub after the match to watch the Leeds Saints game and were made to feel welcome by the Barrow fans in there.
Would certainly go again. Good luck for the rest of the season to Barrow :thumb:

We got there about 11:45, and stayed until 2:30. I was surprised how many Barrow people had Wigan shirts on.

A great day out was had by all.

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
