What a terrible day.

I now recognise that Central Park was in need of a big refurb and that we'd have had to share it with the Latics (imagine that!), but I really didn't want to leave. And I bet most of the Wigan Lane pub landlords would say the same.

The DW is fine. It's our home now. We are where we are. But I still miss CP.

From being in the lads/kids pen in the late 1950's to the final game at Central park - lots of memories. My abiding memory though was being there when they beat Manly in front of what must have been about 40,000 that night. The fireworks crashing onto the school roof at one point. The deafening roar of the Central park faithful . I was with my late dad that night near the scoreboard - he was only about 5ft 6in tall but we saw all the game from that vantage point.

DW is alright. But it will never have the aura, the history, or the atmosphere of Central park.
