Quote ="Starbug"Hi Graham, an interesting post
, I went to Wembly yesterday to witness history being made, I and my sons had a very good day in the company of a great set of people, a surprising amount of who share a similar ' dislike ' of Wigan RL as you and me
I first attended Springfield Park over 30 years ago as a teenager Springfield Park being not disimilar to Hilton Park in layout ( but not as salubrious )
Yesterday was Wigan Athletics ' Wembly 71,Whitehaven 82 ' all rolled into 1 and to deny them and their fans/players/coach and owner a truly most wonderful achievement is unfair
It also should inspire the like of Leigh Centurions to truly believe what can be achieved if people are willing to put in place plans to improve the club
30 odd years ago with another 6/7,000 watching non league Wigan Athletic knock 3 rd division Shrewsbury Town out of the FA cup, the idea that one day I would be with 20 odd thousand at Wembley singing with all my heart ' I'm A Believer ' as they actually lifted the trophy would have been beyond comprehension, but along with Wimbledons success all those years ago proves that the ' Impossible ' is possible in sport, and you should never stop striving to attempt it'"
That's one of your best posts ever
I am to quote reffy "a sad City fan" (how can you judge you dont know me) albeit an armchair one, but was chuffed for Wigan Athletic and Dave Whelan
