This story was relayed by Pete Barker the son of Harry Barker

Pete wrote: "as you will appreciate my Dad is in his 80's. And a lifelong Wigan fan."

I will now write his words verbatim;

Going to school in Wigan in the 1930's was enjoyable although we had nothing, but as everybody we knew was in the same boat , we didn't bother.

One of the things we looked forward to was going to Central Park , on Saturday afternoon, when Wigan played at home.

We would then wait for JIM SULLIVAN who always had a pocket full of toffees which he used to dish out to us.

After that we would wait for what they called three quarter time, when the gates would be opened , and we could get on the ground for free, as we didn't have any money.

(thank your Old Dad for us all Pete, Good on you Harry - Quigs)
