Thanks to Trevor Smith( Smith's Book Shop) for the photograph.
thought they went to the Griffin when BB had it
Used to look at those for hours as I waited, autograph book in hand, for the players to arrive. Next task was finding some kind gent to ask " would he take me through" so I wouldn't have to watch the game in the Hen Pen. Listening to March of the Gladiators and watching Billy B exit the tunnel and he always seemed to have a white powder on the front of his shirt. Ah memories.
Wish we were still playing at central park instead of ground sharing with the football team.
gibo's comment should be:
Wish we were still playing at central park instead of paying rent to Wigan Athletic for use of their stadium.
They were in the Griffin.They were the old boards,discarded when the boards were updated.A friend of mine acquired them(legally) and passed them to Billy.I don't know where they are now may be still there.
Incidentally Factual, they only think it's their stadium.It belongs It belongs mainly to Whelco and Wigan MBC own a portion.
