got to bring the 2009 semi final for me without a shadow of a doubt. The Hicks try still brings shivers to my spine and a tear to my eye!

Amazing game!

All right pop-pickers? NOT ARF

Here's the Goldblatt Top 10


10. 1987-88. (h) World War III, just a pity we managed to snatch a draw from what seemed an easy win, at one stage.
9. 2005 (h) We were walking it, then they had a comeback with 10 mins to go, and got within 6 points. Kevin Brown had an attempt INCORRECTLY ruled out, on the hooter (I was stood in front of it, in the Wigan end, he grounded it perfectly....they were NOT happy)
8. 2007. (h) Kevin Penny ripping the p155. Wigan Walk
7. 1986-87. (h) One of Johnno's finest games. Wigan Walk.
6. 1986-87. (a) We won 6-4. Piddled it down, all match. Cullen try. Wigan Walk.
5. 1990-91. (a) A Basil Richards special after being on the field for only half a minute. Even Dead Dog Duffy played. He was tosh. Wigan Walk.
4. 2009 CCSF. I never went. First day of holiday. Managed to get in front of a telly, just as the players were walking out. The way MonaghanM took the pee out of Fat Feka still brings a smile.
3. 1997 . Vagana brilliance, and the emotion of the short lived Cullen/Murphy partnership. We hadn't beaten the "so'n'so's" at Wilderspool for 11 years (dodgy reffing, Russell, Fred, Robin etc)
2. 2001 We were atrocious to start with. A pensionable Denis Betts (iirc) took the mick. Then we blitzed them via Briers and Langer. Then they came back via Farrell and Radlinski, only for a Lee Penny special right at the death. Cue delirium on the terraces, and several Stellas quaffed in town straight after. Probably my favourite Wilderspool night. SILLY SKY.

and at number one, Rugby League fans,

1986 Prem semi. My first victory seen at the Pie Dome. 5 drops for Bishop and a trademark Mark Roberts try off an Andy Gregory pass. Those were the days. My first Wigan Walk seen. There's no finer sight in sport.

Leaving the insurance claim valuation to one side.

It is excellent business. A contracting construction market, giving better returns on outlay. Add to that, historically low lending rates, even if the lending was, selective (not having the pre-requisite assets preclude certain types) it was very good business.

Semi final 2009 and Battle of Wilderspool 1988 - 2 classics and so different.

Was Brett Dallas I think not Brown, if it's the same game I'm thinking of (first one vs us at HJ). I was right infront of it as well. I was fuming



Little did we know, how bad of a run we'd have at your ground after that as well.

Aaahh yes, all wonderful especially (6) which was on new years day, a few days after we'd snotted Widnes in the John Player Semi courtesy of a Brian Johnson try coming off a Gary Sanderson pass that I can see in my minds eye even now.

I'd agree with the prem semi, in fact the Widnes, Wigan & Fax games were all wonderful, but the Wigan one was a performance of class, arrogance and audacity that had em choking on their pastry for weeks.
