I suppose the same applies to number 75, but 75 has a better ring about it

Yet 75-0 wins you nothing whereas 29-0 gets you a challenge cup .
On a serious point i believe Wigan fans would of been happier to move from Central park if it had been through choice, i dont think anyone from saints had too much of a problem moving and owning a property on there would probably be a good thing to have for you guys

It wouldn't have been the fans choice, though, at the time. As I said earlier. CP was iconic, certainly more so than any other RL ground, and at the time, no one was building new stadiums. As far as the public were concerned, there was no 'need' to move.

That would be in your opinion then? Knowsley Road is/was iconic for us and I'm sure many other sets of fans would say the same about theirs i.e The Jungle, Odsal, Wilderspool regardless of the fact that everybody else would disagree.
There is however a realisation that time moves on and a new regime of superleague licences requires new stadiums and better facilities.

Scholarships and U18's / 20's use the facilities.
