| Quote ="Saddened!"There are so many to choose from. Being a Saints fan during the Millward era was an absolute honour as I'd have paid the season ticket money for entry to most of the games. A good 6 or 7 absolute classics every season.
Even though there weren't many there, the Wide to West moment is without doubt one of the most memorable. The whole stadium was bouncing. =#FF0000Another great moment was being in the Warrington end at the HJ when Cunningham scored off Lyon's kick at the death. Elation to dejection in about 5 seconds for everyone around me.'"
I vote for this moment aswell, but I was in the Saints end. Atmosphere was out of this world, as you'd expect after scoring 3 tries in 8 minutes to come from behind and win the match. The atmosphere was helped by the fact that there were about 5,000 more fans than there should have been in that end. I think Warrington were still getting used to their stadium and its capacity . People were standing in the dreaded yellow areas!!!!

| GB v Aus (2004?) at the JJB. Scott Hill threw a lazy pass, Senior intercepted and raced half the length of the pitch and under the posts. My God. What an atmosphere.
I was sat behind the posts in the South Stand that night, never heard crowd volume like it. Singing 'Who are ya' at the Aussies after the try, fans of every club hugging each other and dancing in the stands. Great night!

| Taking it away from Super League, for me it has to be the reception we got when my college team came out of the tunnel just before kick off at Wilderspool in the colleges national cup final a few years ago.
There must have been only 250 max there, but the noise the crowd made at that point was unbelievable. It sent a shiver down my spine as we lined up for kick off. I've given up playing now, and even though we lost the game, that memory will stick with me for a while.

| The NL Grand Final in 07 when Cas came up. I could barely move in the stands because everyone was going that mental. It was insane.

| 2 for me.
1997 away at Hudd when we won promotion. Only around 7000 in the ground but the atmosphere in our stand was fantastic, couldnt speak for a week after the game.
Away at saints in 2006? First time we'd won at Knowsley road since Jesus was a kid .Both teams having a drop goal contest before Paul Cooke finally puts one over with 2 mins left. Cue scenes of delerium!

That's the 'Get up Fielden' one I think. I was in the Walkabout in Shepherd's Bush after watching Latics away at QPR and there was just me and one other guy going ape.

| So basically any game with a bit of meaning to it, not the endless round of friendlies the RFL have created now!
The most exciting moment in the last two NL grand finals was the fire alarm going off - and my team won that one, to no avail

That was a great night. Also remember GB v Australia at Eastlands being a cracker too.

Was just going to post that. That was an amazing atmosphere, the best I've ever experienced.
That game always stands out to me.

| The last ever game at Central Park was very very special.
Never had beer thrown all over me as many times in one afternoon before.

I was about to list this one as my non-HKr game, me and a few mates went over and it was fantastic, only time I have ever shouted for Wigan.
For KR it has to be the premiership match v Widnes days after they beat us at Wembley

| For me it was the Wigan Manly game - under lights and 37,000 crammed into Central Park. A night I will never forget
Although my most vivid memory is my first ever live game of RL which was Wigan Saints at Central Park in the '94 Lancashire Cup final and Mal Meninga tore Wigan to pieces. I had never seen a human being as big as Meninga before and he terrified me from the stands!

Meninga is only just 6 ft tall.
Are people in Wigan particularly small?

| I prefer the atmosphere at grounds at sea level. It gets a bit thin at altitude. 21% oxygen all the way for me.

Do any Wire or KR fans remember these games? I'm just wondering if the atmospheres are so good where we were in the away ends or if the home fans felt it too?

I've seen quite a few Wiganers who appear to be well in excess of 18 stone.
They usually have short skirts on, far too much make up, dyed hair and can usually be seen with several other women of a comparable size stuffing kebabs and chips into their mouths at about 3am on a Saturday night

If you mean the game at Wire in 2001 then I think it was their biggest crowd of the season so I'm sure it was a good atmosphere in their end as well. Absolute epic game until Alfi Langer decided to turn up in the last 20 minutes
