Northern Rail Cup Draw.

Halifax v Widnes
Barrow v Featherstone.

Fax V Barrow final it is then.

Faxs last final was 18 years ago

No it wasn't

19 years ago? Disregarding Farrells final?

2004. When we saved ourselves from oblivion against York


In fact - probably the most important final we could have ever won if what one of the Directors of the club told me is true.

The final after that was more important

Ah but of course, that goes without saying

And shows just how quickly down the ladder we are going



Didn't Fax "win" a trophy that day for staying up

The Crust Munchers were the dominant force for 10 years prior to " Nothing really happened before the inception of SL "... So your point is ?.

What's a crust muncher?

Wigan I would think.

You dont get out much do you

What's a crust muncher ?

Ah right, yes probably. Just made me chuckle. It sounds like a great derogatory term. I like it.

I guess so. I swear - never heard of the term.

Its a term of endearment for our poor cousins on the wrong side of Leyth.....

Way back when there used to be a local ' Fanzine ' type magazine sold in the pubs round Leigh

In it people from W1g4n were portraid with a huge front tooth

eee that brought back memories, and, made me chuckle thnx.

Do you mean the fanzine done by Mark Taylor, now an editor at the Wigan Evening Post/Observer.
