Got to say for me it was the Wigan players mingling around with the fans as they went back to the coach. Managed to get photos of my little brother with most of the players as well as Maguire and Wane, and his hero Pat Richards signed his shirt, and one of the substitution cards that a member of the club staff gave him. Really made my brothers day, full credit to the players and coaches! Was nice to hear maguire say the win was us "getting back on the horse".

And when a quite merry (

) fan offered to buy Sams boots he replied "ah I can't mate, I need these for next week!". Also stu fielden saying he had to be careful cos they would leave without him and he'd get a fine, but "Where's that lockers? As long as he doesn't go I'm ok, they wouldn't leave without him!".

That surely brings a smile to any Wigan fans face



My highlights were when the players coming off the field (wearing my Wigan top of course) i shook hands with Kev Brown and Luke Robinson and they were both very pleasant and meaningful, Credit to both guys! I could see Ian lenaghan lookin at this drunken Jock in a wigan shirt shaking hands with players of both teams whilst thinkin wtf?!?!
I even Bought a Wire fan a beer on Rose St and had 3 pints of Guinness in a Celtic pub when i got back to Glasgow (long story Liam) hey i musta been in a good mood!
Fantastic weekend again, much better feel to it than Cardiff (imo) and it'll be such a shame if this concept is shelved.

Oh, and every single Wigan fan i saw/spoke to seemed to be enjoying themselves

Is that when you was doing the huddle in the celtic pub?

what about the nazi stewards making them take the flags down. i can think of a few magic tricks id have performed if they were my flags

If fans dont even stay for each others games, then really what is the point of this weekend???

Yeh that was pretty poor, though i managed to get mine up eventually because as the steward said... and i quote : "Its a Scottish flag"

Thats the reason I dont go, I have no interest in watching other teams play. Went to the Hull v Hull kr derby at millenium once. Didnt really enjoy to be honest, so didnt bother going back.

Agree!! I cant get excited about watching the other 13 teams who hate our very existence

I just couldnt get involved in the game to be honest, and last time i was that bored i had just come out of a football match. It did however make me see how inept the refs where, it was terrible, for both sides!

I enjoyed the games on day one (except the wire game) but that was at home, i doubt i would have bothered watching them all if i had gone. I dont really have much interest in paying to watch rival teams, especially up in Edinburgh.

Bloody hell, their parents must trust them, letting 9 year old kids go for a knees up in scotland is crazy. Surely they had parents with them?

That wasn't funny. They watched me walk round the ground with them, ask them how I could get up there, tie them up and only then did they realise I shouldn't have been up there and had to take them down. I still think it was,the England flag that did it.

I WAS TIRED!!!!!!


They just didn't like me n wudnt put latics on the tv

I saw him too, if it was the same bloke he was telling everybody very loudly that he had been kicked out for fighting with a Wigan drummer.

Yeah, I've heard something about that incident from a few people. Seems our "fans" were the most at fault, unfortunately.

Not what I heard

The Wigan fans that were fighting were the same ones who were fighting at the back of Knowsley Rd, punched the steward at St.Helens and smashed a window in a pub.... Apparently. They intentionally went straight into the middle of the Cas fans during their games and started goading them.

Wrong!

Me and my mates are not the same people who was fighting at the saints game , we are far from it. we went in the ground half way in to the cas match and went to stand where we was last year , west stand. i was not playing my drum i let a mate play it. it was the castleford fan(s) who started all the fighting we was just defending our selfs(mates) a big bloke with the name "danny 6" on the back of hes shirt starting throwing punches at my mate on the drum. all hes mates was dragging him away. next minute a glass bottle was thrown up to the top where we was sat and hit my mate in the eye(got a black eye) now thanks to the idiot who thrown it. the stewards and police then came to the top and removed us down to the concourse to see what had been going on. while we was on the concourse this "danny 6" lad came out of the toilets walked over to my self and started throwing punches at me. he never got me thought i had to dodge out of the way to get to safety then hes mates started throwing punches at me and my mates. this idiot got thrown out alongside with a few of my lads.

Shock, horror. Wigan fans involved in fight and Wire fans don't get the blame. Seriously though, I didn't see anything nasty all weekend. We spent an hour before Sundays games talking to Wigan fans in the pub outside the front of the stadium. Lots of good humoured banter, but no problems at all. Did anyone else see the group of Wigan fans dressed as women? One was actually in high heels and it was only when he turned round and we saw his moustache that we realised it was a man.

Here's an idea.. maybe a crazy one but - Stand with the Wigan fans?

I was sat in the East stand and i saw you put them up just after the Cas game.

Your a lot older than i imagined



A bit churlish of them to make them take it down.

Just had a flash back.

I was in the Rosebud pub outside the ground (with my 89 away strip on if anyone saw me) and i found a beer mat with the inscription

"to sean, have a good day" and it was signed by Steve hampson.

Turned it over and it had sig's by Andy Greg, Phil clarke, John clark, oliver wilkes (????) and another unknown person.

I have given it to the father in law (pity his name aint sean!!!)

Shock, horror. Wire fan with massive chip on his shoulder.

Does this mean you've conquered your fear of heights ?????
