Like many that 2009 CCSF was a big turning point and was so emotional for many die hards who had been suffering for nearly two decades.

+1...fantastic day.

Good times, but I would have to challenge the last bit. While I was delighted to have beaten Wigan, it didn't occur to me that we might win there since - as you'll recall - we all expected to be playing Saints at Wembley.

It was only the day after, when I checked the interweb and saw Huddersfield had beaten Saints, that the shuddering expectation that we might have a chance set in.

I know what you are saying, but once we beat the pies I kind of 'knew' we would go on and win..I don't know why.

Thankfully it proved to be the case, pity I didn't put a bet on, but I didn't want to jinx it!

The saints away game at widnes where we beat them for the first time in god knows how long. I can remember Briers grubbering through close to their line and it bouncing back off a saints players back, straight into the arms of Briers who placed it down under the sticks. I just knew from that moment that it was the night that we were going to finally get the saints monkey off our back. It was my 18th birthday as well which made it all the better!

Oh and any game where we have beat the pies! Living in wigan has made games against them that bit more special for me.
