There have been 16 different winners of the league since the Wolfs last success with half of them no longer in the top flight.

9 of the 16 NRL clubs have been founded since 1955 (11 if you count the two mergers) and 8 of them (10) have won the competition.

7 clubs have been founded but no longer exist.

Tefal was founded and non stick pans were first sold

Coronation St was first screened and there have been over 10000 episodes have been shown since

Had that one. Pay attention man.

Apologies



Temporary traffic lights were erected
.....top end of Piper Street, past McVities, up to the bank on Birdhall Lane. There's talk it's all going to be one way now

Not heard if theyve been taken down?

They're still there I believe. Some guy was telling me in the pub yesterday it's putting 10 minutes on his journey

Ian Botham was born, became England's greatest ever cricketer, played 11 matches in the football league and has been knighted for his charity work. He also had a son who played Super League for Leeds, London and Wigan. He was part of the Rhinos 2004 GF winning squad but didn't get a ring.

Elvis had his first hit in the American charts in 1956, he followed that up with 40 top 10 hits and has been dead 43 years.

Warrington have Played 2466 competitive matches since.

Please can we be game 2500!!!

Do you like circuses(sp?)?

Crazy to think that over that time wigan house prices have shot up by 27p. The ratio of meat to potato has fallen dramatically too. You have gone from being owning your own property to being a lodger at the local football ground. The only good thing about your town shut its doors years ago.

So yeah pot has changed in those 65 years

That is the most worrying aspect of your post!

Ah yes, but 27p in 1955 is the equivalent of £26.41 now so our house prices have increased by the value of two whole houses in Warrington. In fact, didn't someone buy the whole of Orford for a fiver?

True story. I think that's around the time they started compensating by putting the pie in a barm lol

It must kill you knowing you've never seen them win a championship title.

Not really no. I would love em to win it but its not the be all n end all.

Very soon there will be nobody left who actually saw it.

Keep dreaming sunshine, it's grinding away at you and you know it.
I've heard ITV are bringing Fantasy Island back....might be worth applying

Just a slight correction, they couldn't sell Orford for a fiver so they had to throw Bewsey in as well.

We'll make do with Challenge Cups and League Leaders Shields till then.

A bit like on Bullseye where you only got a few quid in the silver tankard instead of the speedboat.

Well nobody gives a stuff about dinner plates and you've won a massive 5 challenge cups in 64/65 years. #massive

Inbreeding in Wigan has sky rocketed in those 65 years it seems...
