Happy memories vs Bradford : Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:46 pm  

Stolen from the Dulls board but thought it'd be a good thread seeing as there's been a good few games between us and them over the years.

2007 playoffs: The come back of all come backs.

2000: Renouf makes the break in the last few seconds of the game to send Radlinski over, then Faz converts to win the game.

2000: Away at Bradford with the Cowie drop goal, just for comedy value

2003 away - first time we'd beaten them away since they moved from Odsal.

71-10 say no more

I remember chuckling at that and getting some right stares from the people around me on the terrace at Odsal!

Aye, that would be the Semi Final wouldn't it when Offiah scored 5? I remember watching it in a caravan in Wales, I was only a toddler so my dad wouldn't allow me to certain games, I now presume that it would be so he could of had a few more drinks without me being there

One of the great Wigan performances of recent years IMO. Fairly sure Nobby was Bradford's hooker that day too? Another favourite of mine, think it was our first meeting at JJB: http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/reports2000/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/00/06/07/RUGBYL_Wigan.html Over 17,000 on a Wednesday night, Bradford brought thousands too. Both teams packed with world class players, how times change

Wow! What a night that was.
To be fair, not a great game for us up to that point....But that one last play changed everything! And when Rads crashed over, the East Stand faithful went absolutely potty.....Only to quickly go quiet again, when we all realised that we were still 1-point behind.
The tension when Faz lined-up the conversion out wide was almost unbearable. And yes, i was one of the many that couldnt bear to watch.
As it sailed over, sending us back to the top of the table, the place erupted like i've never heard before...Or since.
People were hugging strangers, dancing in the aisles, and generally going crazy!

What a moment, and what a memory!
One never to be forgotten.
