Miss it like crazy. Watching this leaves a lump in the throat. All gone and for what, a failed summer experiment that will see rugby league fail entirely. Should never have messed with it. Standing up at Thrum Hall on Sunday afternoon in the scratching shed watching the rain and snow come down. The smell of tobacco and ale in the air and when times were much simpler. Wouldn’t have swapped it for anything and what I would give to have my Sunday afternoon winter ritual back again. . .
I was at at this one, I'd put it in my all time top 5 Wigan games - came so close both here and the year after at Hull to having the record cup run ended.
+JBiscuitesq i was there too, had to pay a steward on the gate a fiver to get in coz i left it too late to get a ticket, one of the best games ever, i remember being stood in the open end back of the sticks covered in snow watching that drop goal go over and i was nearly crying, thought we were going to break the wigan run, think salford were the club to break it if i remember.
when rugby were proper rugby
I wish I was alive to watch rugby in the 90s I was born in 1997 so I was to young to experience the 90s properly
What a game I was there, was gutted, what a ground that was some great memories.
