      Seem to remember some big advertising board getting ripped down or falling down. Packed in like sardines. Certainly made a mockery of the safety restrictions put on Latics at Springfield Park not long after by the Rugby loving council down at Wigan Kremlin. (Bastards swanning about in years to come at our Cup winning parade)

        We arrived to find the gates being locked all over the place, wasn’t the done thing to buy tickets prematch back then.
        Managed to dive in the Gladys street end so there must have been plenty other Wiganers doing the same given the massive attendance.
        Had no bother as away fans in home sections was perfectly acceptable back thenif you were only there to watch the game.
        Despite the mass brawl at the end the two managers were happily interviewed together at the end of the game and againnyiu wouldn’t see that today.
