We beat our friends from just up the m6...ive a feeling it was late 70s...one for the statos

We don't have any friends from just up the M6.

True but it's a long time since we last beat that lot in any final...probably some on here weren't even born

Just googled it..1980 we beat em in the land cup final 26..10 Christ nearly 40 years ago...time to stop the rot

2nd June 2018 ...23-0

Im just hoping that Hardaker can weave his magic for Wigan in the same way he did for Castleford last year.

I was there. I had to Google to check but I was correct in thinking that Wigan were in the second division that season.

I meant in a final...

Does the Locker Cup count?

oh that's today isn't it. It'd be a shame if he whatever the result, something like that which then got shared like flip repeatedly over various forms of social media causing a massive distraction for Wigan two days out.

British coal 7s Central Park where we won the tournament - 1988 I think.

Me too, will always remember Tommy Martyn catching the kick off and scoring!

What I can remember, and I think that it was as a result of that try, was my watch strap breaking whilst celebrating and then chipping a tooth whilst trying to bend the clasp back (with my teeth).

I hope your watch strap breaks at 6.10 pm on Saturday, it'll be a good omen, but find another way of reattaching!

I was only 4 the last time we beat them in a final.
I remember the circumstances and venues for a lot of the defeats but not too sure on the years
Burnden park (when part of the ground a
Was a supermarket) i remember being in the pub pre match with my dad and the rumour pre match was that Andy Gregory was not playing because he had just signed for wigan must have been around 1986.
Prem final at OT in 1988 and i am sure there was a "fastest player in league" sprint competition that Foz won unless i am dreaming that
Obviously Wembley 1990
Then a spanking in a regal troph final just after the Reebok had openend in the 1990"s but memory is fading here because i had discovered booze by that point.
Its amazing that i remember things a lot clearer from before the time i could get served in a boozer. I am sure there were others but the years have taken their toll.

I can't ever remember beating the pies in a final.

Nearly got it right. It was "The British Coal 9s"
It was 1988
It was against "The rest of the world" Warrington played in the final not Wigan

This
If I recall we also battered them something like 32-nil.

Brian Johnstone in particular and everyone with pace.

The final of the 9s was 24-0. Kept up Tony Barrows record of never losing at central park.

Thanks. Wasn't far off from top of my head... and still a hell of a scoreline for 15 or 20mins e/w.

Watching as I type.
Alfie Langer playing for RotW
Mark Roberts and John Woods, genius.

How much better do the jerseys look without sponsors? When I win the Euromillions I'm gonna buy up every sponsor's slot and leave them blank

awesome idea.
I'll got Dutch with you when I win the euro millions....
Except the opposite on Saints...gonna put a big clown on the chest of their shirts
