| I took my camera to the last game at CP and have some slides somewhere I took that day and I think from a previous game that season. I recently retrieved my slide collection from the attic of my late fathers house and intend to scan them (I have a high res slide/film scanner). If I get time this weekend I will see if they are to hand (and any good!).

pretty certain that I have one that I took from the bridge looking throught the gap in the corner towards the Whitbread stand. I will see if I can find it for you.

| Might be worth leaving comments under some of the pictures asking the owners if they have better higher resoultion pics - Seems some people have done that and been sorted out.
Was wondering aswell looking at those pics - can anyone tell me how big the kop was at CP? How high and how far back did it go?
From memory I remember it being probably comparable if not edging the South Stand at the JJB, yet common sense tells me it would have been smaller and im not sure if im exaggerating it in my memory - was only 15 when we left CP. Anyone know roughly what the dimensions of the old Kop were - surely it was bigger than the un-used kop at Wrexham which they recon is now the biggest standing Kop left in the country? - I seem to remember it being at least half as big again as that?

I can remember it well - was just I wasnt sure if anyone knew how big the stand was - To me, in those pictures and in my memory i would say the same size as the south stand or bigger, but part of me thinks im exaggerating it with a romantic memory?

This is a good close-up. Often used to stand in with the away fans.

| I have a large aerial shot of Central Park full, I think it's the last ever game at Central Park between Wigan vs Saints. It's a great image, if you think it might help pm me and I'll send you a picture of it.

| I scanned my shots of the last game at CP last night.
You can see them here:
[url=http://DaveO.zenfolio.com/cpPhotos[/url
[url=http://DaveO.zenfolio.com/cp/slideshowSlideshow[/url
There is a password which is "billyboston" (without the quotes and yes its all lower case).
Some need a bit of work in post processing as the slide mounts show but most scanned OK.

| Cheers all for the links and the uploads.
I live in an apartment on standishgate which overlooks central park (well tesco), the idea is to have canvas next to the window to view what used to be there!

| It's funny how your memory plays trick on you because when I scanned these I was wondering where the old building at the top left of Hogan's collage had gone! My memory of CP is always of that building being there and not the front of the Boston stand that was built over the top of it.

Is that opposite St Marys Church? I used to live in an apartment (they were called Flats when we lived there) on the other side near Sams bar (formally Ball N Boot)

WOW!!!!!
Some really good memories there, people in the office will start looking at me funny soon - very emotional!!
It's a shame we don't have some kind of gallery on the Wigan site showing photos from past and present of fans, games etc
