I was one of the few who tipped Wigan to win. If you remember Saints had beaten us 19 - 0 at KR on the Good Friday, but Wigan had bombed three tries (Julian O'Neil twice should have passed when he had support)



I was filling the car up on Warrington Road onthe Thurday night and a fan pulled up at the pumps who I recognised, but did not know personally.



"How are we going to do" I said.

"Win" he said, "We should have beaten them on Good Friday"





I grew another six inches (to 5ft 2" just before the smart s say anything)



So Friday me and mini drive up to Dumbar where we were staying, and our hotel is full of Skints supporters who took great delight in telling us what was going to happen.



When I told them about Good Friday, they just laughed.



On Friday we caught the train into Edinburgh, Liam respondent in his kilt, and met up with our mob, who although staying in Dunbar were only traveling up that morning.



We found a bar near Tynecastle and sunk "quite a few" arriving just in time for Abide with Me.



The last 20 minutes of that game I swear took 3 hours. Ian Millard and Eamonn McMannuss faces at the end of the game were pictures to behold, but not as good as those Skints fans who scurried out of the Hotel as we returned with big I told you grins on our faces.



The drive home next day was superb, big smiles and courteous waves

to our Merseyside friends.

Too right - they missed a treat.

Same again this weekend I hope - shame there isn't a trophy on the line this time. Although I think I aged 20 years in the last 10 mins in 2002, so its probably for the best.

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





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!

We stayed at a hotel in Glasgow went up Sauchiehall St at night drunk as a skunk. Just remembered Andy Greg was in our hotel.

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

That was a good match... to watch on TV

I had gone up to edinburgh to go to the game.. but i was ill and had to stay at my uncles whilst they played

100% at Murrayfield, but not in Edinburgh. Who attended the game at Hearts FC?

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.

Agreed it was superb but the older generation(you to jukes) will remember the famous 1989 cup final.............[size=20027-0[/size That was also awesome

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

lol that the thing i remember about that weekend the pubs serving at 8.30am we only went out for breakfast pint with breakfast it was
