We've discussed this before. [iWire [/iwill always be the club's public 'nickname', but it's been in the public domain so long that the club could not trade mark it as a name, meaning, for example, that anyone could make and could sell [iWarrington Wires[/i scarves at Wembley/in the town centre, and take money that would otherwise go to the club. Trademarked names are valuable. You may have forgotten that when we first adopted 'Wolves', Wolverhampton Wanderers from the wendyball league objected on the ground of 'causing confusion with consumers' and for a few years we had to use only the full term[i Warrington Wolves,[/i not just [iWolves[/i, in anything official.

Absoulte great post mate .. Im not flying from Bermuda but i will be traveling from Spain to London and its caused me some bother (With the Missus) but i could not think of anything better.

The time is ticking and i just cant wait ..

But Saints went on to have great seasons, so I don't think your theory applies.

Celery cap? St Helens seem to do ok.

We only moved to New York on 1st of August but will be returning returning to the UK for the final:
Two flights for me and the wife $1800
2 tickets £35 each
3 nights hotel at Heathrow £130

Total before I but a pint or a burger about £1300. Now thats dedication; plus my season tickets are still live, being used by my daughter and her husband.
A win a Wembley priceless.

We must all meet up and buy each other a pint
