My main memory is being a ballboy for the last 2 seasons at CP had the chance to ballboy the last game but turned it down because i wanted to be in the crowd for the last game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loads of memories, one that really sticks out is when we played Bradford 98 i think and Connolly went over with 5 minutes left to seal victory and the popular went mad!

Nearly 30,000 on for a derby match (it was either 92 or 93) and IIRC Gus O'Donnell (for Wigan) attempting a drop-goal which Gary Connolly (for Saints) got a fingertip to in mid-flight so it didn't count. Think it finished 8-8, I was stood on the Kop anongst the Saints fans absolutely packed in like sardines

I think it was actually Gus O'Donnell playing for Saints who got a finger tip to the ball. A former St John Fisher lad as well.

He made a tremendous break from his own tryline on the right hand side and then went more or less corner to corner weaving in and out. Didn't we have a battle with Auckland for his services?

The storm damaged posts which seemed to go unrepaired for weeks on end including an embarrassing appearance on Grandstand!

Has anyone mentioned Tommy God scoring the last ever try there?

If so it's always worth a mention again


I'm watching the tape now

There were some very poor players on show that day for both teams.

Tommy Martyn was one of them.

The Saints halfbacks were overplayed by Clinch and Chester.

Jason Robinson was superb.
