As a facility and nothing else, Wembley is the best stadium in the world.



For everything else it is rubbish. No atmosphere (hopefully us Brigantes will sort this out). No atmosphere outside the stadium anymore.

To all Wire fans, yes, we're going to Wembley, but we would still rather win the league and GF, but you ain't gonna stop us celebrating the fact the were there and we're sure gonna enjoy it.

green man is the place to be mate

Please, I beg, find a post where I have EVER said anything remotely to that effect?

Thanks, there are more to come

Same here. Vague memories of the 1960s matches. 1970 is more vivid - the blood down Tyrer's shirt, Sash crying as he went up for his loser's medla etc, but from 1984 onwards it seems like yesterday.



1984 was a major event in that we were back from the wilderness. A hugely disappointing result, but such a great turn-out by the Wigan fans that it was still a load of fun.



1998 was by far the worst in my experience. A poor atmosphere, very big gaps on the terraces, almost nobody knocking around London afterwards and of course a truly appalling display by a Wigan team who simply were not respecting the occasion.

My only experience with Wigan was 98. My dad told me we would win. I was only 8 or something.



Hopefully this time will be much better.

Nobody ever has, its just that when it was pointed out that the league is more difficult to win than the CC (some) wire fans took this to mean "the CC is worthless and we dont want to win it!"



Cant wait now, we've had to wait far too long for this! Play to the intensity of what we are capable of and neither Leeds or Cas should be able to live with us.

Couldn't disagree more. Until the 5-0 defeat set in I had an amazing day with Bwfc in May.

The stadium is stunning. Truly amazing for me.

And the atmosphere outside was unbelievable.



Maybe you had a bad experience. Sure Wigan will sort it out

Like I said the stadium is stunning. Great facility, it does look amazing.



The atmosphere inside can be created at a big game obviously but not as good as cardiff or the old Wembley or Old Trafford for me.



Cardiff is a much better day out.

I was waiting for someone to say this! The Challenge Cup to me means EVERYTHING, I would love you to find a past post by any true WIgan fan who says the CC means nothing.



In todays game the SL is bigger but then again coming top of the league you get a tin plate and not much accolade from other clubd, so go figure..



Beating Leeds in the Semi last year to get to the Grand Final was amazing but beating Wire 2 weeks ago and Saints yesterday to get the the CC Final at Wembley was 10 times better.



Next time please use your head before you try and burst our bubble FAIL

Anyone know any good coach companies which won't be full of 17 year old drunken numpty/day trippers kicking off?
