Springfield Park

What a fantastic place that was with so many memories. Such a shame that no one had the foresight to realise the vast amounts of land it sat on and how suitable it could have been to build a new stadium on that sight. Such a shame that the public in Wigan contiuously put into power a council that degraded and victimised our football club and such a shame that that council are still put in power to degrade, insult and run down our football club with the segregation issues that continue to this day ie 25100 seats should mean 25100 supporters potentially able to attend.
Come on Wigan get shut of these jokers.

The old ground was landlocked and potentially unsafe around the access/exits in my opinion.Certainly not a safe place to take the kids either with dodgy terraces and toilet facilities not out of place in a farmyard pen.
Great memories from the old ground but we would not be where we are today if they had not shifted over to ‘the gant'(wouldnt this be a great name btw ?)which geve us a much bigger profile and attracted better players during that period.
It is lovely to see pictures of it but the memories i have are of a very tiny club (in what was then a rugby doninated area) as occupiers not the world wide profile that has been created by the move across town.
Onwards and upwards but we musnt forget the past agreed!
