1996 Saints v Bradford - Robbie's hattrick and Bobbie's bombs!

'94 was my first. '96 is still the best I've been to, despite the loss.

2011: Wigan Warriors 28-18 Leeds Rhinos

The injustice in that game spurred Leeds to turn their lackluster season right around and win in the Grand Final. Still Wigan scored one of the best Wembley tries of the super league era with Joel Tomkins.

1985 school trip Hull v Wigan great game and great result

1991 Challenge Cup final, St Helens V Wigan at the old Wembley. A narrow 13-8 defeat.

An abysmal first half showing from Saints against a tired and off colour Wigan side cost us big time.

the '96 classic, my mum won a pair of tickets on "the pulse" radio station so me and my sister went.
my dad was a coach driver taking some bully's down so we jumped on the coach with them
what a game!

I should know for sure, but can't be certain! Probably Wigan/Saints in 1989.

Continually vowed that I won't go to a Challenge Cup Final (or even the 'new' Wembley) until Leigh get there. One day...
