[wanes82]

Fitting tribute. So many memories. We were untouchable back then. Glad to say i was lucky enough to see some of the greatest players and some of rugbys greatest moments at that very stadium.

The last game against Siants was a very sad day- definately a few tears were shed!

[bobnudd]

@medicdeano i used to stand with all the singers on the pop side of central park and allways got a shower of beer if we scored just after half time great days with a team that record will never be beaten ,god i miss that ground .

[medicdeano]

@bobnudd Ye I know- I used to come up from Wirral to watch my team great nights in the pissin rain on the terraces watchin Leeds get hammered on a Friday night!!

[bobnudd]

It still stings just how we lost that ground the way we did and now we loan not share realy off wigan wendy ball its a sad state of affairs .

its 'in my life' by the beatles. this tribute is amazing , central park was heaven for me. miss it a lot.

[bobnudd]

I still have never walked back down that street that used to lead us the entrance at central park and never will,and if that is you Ellery thx for the amazing rugby you played for us ,i have seen the best over the years in that ground but when you got the ball it was out of this world with your skill and flair and one day i hope you come back to us and bring back the glory days .

central park was the place to watch rugby i was a season ticket holder frm 1995 to the day the bulldozers moved in.. the jjb has nothin on central park.... R.I.P

[clareteyesphilip]

what memories how can i ever forget central park i used to make 60 mile round trip every match with my wife and two young lads getting into the ground just to sample the atmosphere was worth the admission price alone but better still putting my young lads on my shoulders so they could see the action, they still argue who about who got the best trys and remember kelvin skerret running 50 yards doing his superman act and launching himself in the free for all unforgettable long live cp

I have the greatest memories of Central Park spent manya time there as a kid being chased off when the ground was shut by the staff for kicking about on the pitch. I think every young kid in wigan used to dream of playing on that ground. I remember the homecomings from wembley on the open top buses the whole town came out and then converged on Central Park. Central Park lives on in the hearts and minds of all wiganers who went there a true MECCA for rugby fans from everywhere.

[WASPISHLADY]

[wiganraf]

It must be me but you never actually felt the cold watching a match at central park.. go the the JJB and it's bloody freezing..!!!!

[602trooper]

yep know what u mean, but central park was always packed and not as funnily not as exposed to the win. Pie and peas always tasted better there too and kept me warm

[ScotticusWigan]

Some good years of my life spent there :)

As a ball boy :)

[60jord]

Bradford 30 v Wigan 31. The old spirit is still there. Great video. Greatest night was in 1987,v Manly 37,000 there. I still miss the place.

[kopitegraz]

[bonusfishfox]

I played once on central park when i was 13 for leigh ce high against the greenery school of wigan,in the english schools final we lost that day but what a souvenir to get changed in those sacred wigan changeing rooms that the greats had graced . An irreplacable magic, never forgotten.shame its gone now ,anyone else there that day??

[no1wiganrlfan]

Never been central park sadly but every wigan fan knows it's a piece of history, and holds some great memories.

[paddyrockman]

Big Crowd, Cigar smoke, the smell of whiskey, christmas spirit and Saints on Boxing day

[moptopio7]

[2oAzo7]

Miss central park can't wait till finally wigan get going this year

[marcysel]

Always remembered... I still vision the red + white Dougie stand everytime I drive past. Can still smell the mix of Cigarette smoke, ale and urine if I think about it behind the Poplar stand. CP - our home.

[no1wiganrlfan]
