| Quote Fetlar="Fetlar"Another exile here.
I remember Widnes nilling us in the Regal Trophy final at a foggy Central Park. That was the closest we got to a trophy in my early days as a supporter. To transform the fortunes of this club from that shambles to one of the best in our game's history is nothing short of miraculous.'"
That was one god awful match! How times have changed! |

Was that the year we beat Salford in the semi? Or have I made that up? |

Correct - 1991/2. The Salford semi-final I think was my first visit to Valley Parade.

| Quote DHM="DHM"I find it spooky the way many of those GF wins resemble each other. '"
Bar an odd exception they all seem to follow a similiar pattern.
Opposition score first (or get the first points). Then somewhere between 20 mins and 35 mins leeds normally post 1/2 tries and begin to look the better team and take control.
The second halfs are normally tit for tat (bar 2007) before leeds scoreing the decisive try normally between 60-75 mins. |

| That brings back happy memories of being stood directly next to biggest lunatic I've ever seen at a rugby match. He was a widnes fan but, I wouldn't necessarily blame them for that. Every time they scored, which to be fair was quite a regular occurance in that particular game, he would jump around wildly trying to hit anyone in a leeds shirt he could get near to and flicking half smoked cigarettes in our faces.
A lovely man whose social skills were matched only by the standard of his amateur tattoos, of which he had many. 
Anyway, I'll macth that particularly joyous occassion and raise everyone a Central Park drubbing where Offiah scored ten tries or a Premiership final with a cart horse named Simon Haughton galloping under our sticks from sixty yards out. Such a joy to be a Loiner in those days! |

Yep, there for that one too - I think it was later in the same glorious season?
I seem to recall there was a canal or a river or some other filthy Mancunian watercourse outside the Central Park ground. I think it was on that terrible day I was walking next to it with my then girlfriend and her Mum. The word went around that the kick off had been delayed due to the Boat Race coverage on BBC. GF's Mum looks at the canal and announces: "That's ridiculous. And anyway, I can't see any boats!" Lessens the pain a bit. |

With Craig Innes playing at 6?
Seem to remember the only player to come out with credit that day was Esene Faimalo. |

God just look at it! I miss that ground so much  Maybe if it was still around Wigan fans wouldn't be so bitter and insecure. I imagine I would have gone the same way if we had ended up lodging at Elland Road.
So what was "Rugby League's Status Symbol"? Surely the RFL weren't taking up pitchside advertising space just to tout the magic of the new XIII logo?! |
