Quote: Ave It! "I thought it was decent atmosphere to be honest and thought most people did their bit in supporting the team. When Rhys Evans scored in the corner to put the game more or less beyond doubt the roar of encouragement that went up for the players was excellent.
Think people are making a mountain out of a mole hill, yes the 'wa**y Warrington' chant is embarrassing, but by far the most embarrassing chant is that 'it's always your year' chant!!!!'"
I'd have to agree with you Ave It that's it a mountain out of a molehill situation.
The "w***y Warrington" chant is more bemusing than amusing it's that much 'old hat' and the "always your year" thing doesn't really get the heckles up as we've not done too badly lately?
I didn't hear the Hillsborough stuff, but, we obviously get the "you scouse ba****ds a lot which cheeses me off personally as a United fan when it comes to the round ball game, as indeed are many other Warringtonians. It's a split town in this regard and both sides generally rub along ok. BTW we 'sing' the same to Widnes and Saints.
Regarding Wolfie admittedly not PC, but, there is a message on his underpants which sometimes can be quite amusing, at HKR he had the words We are sailing emblazoned across his bottom which got the crowd singing something other than the usual Oh Warry Warry which isn't the most inventive
In short we've all got all sorts in a crowd....apart from Widnes
