The conga round The Shay, the win at Hull after we got tonked by London on the tuesday night and Darren Burns kicking the ball dead were the highlights

All came from a Tommy O'Reily knock on with 3 minutes on the clock if i remember rightly

I always think of that season as being the one that started it all pretty sure I did most homes and aways as it was around the time I had a wolfpack season ticket (£20 bargain) main things that sitck out.

- Cullen coming in after chanting "we want Cullen" you just knew he would save us well I did at 13 anyway.

- Waiting for the scores after our match against Cas had finished

- Danny Halliwell's scoring form think he got 4 in his first 3 games or something.

- That try by Cardoza

- Super Sid and Darren Burns

This was also my first year watching the Wire too. I remember sitting in the car on the way back from Halifax after that win. My uncle turns me to me and goes "Well, that was some baptism into watching the Wire. You gonna come back next year?" And i just remember myself thinking that there really was nowhere else id rather be on a Sunday afternoon, despite us loosing alot of games!!

I remember Cullen's first game in charge was against Widnes and we lost 19-18 i think. Westwood got sent off towards the end if i remember rightly. I was very very gutted when we lost, but thought under Cullen that we were gonna stay up. But i have so many memories from that season and i really do appricate the good times that we have now. But my overriding memory from the season was thinking that Burns and Domic had kept us up. Two quality players that gave 100%!!

Great Post Sally Ive watched the Wire for many years and that was the worst i can remember for many of the reasons mentioned.

I really felt sorry for Mat Rodwell he really took the brunt from the wire fans, he came on the official site, he got loads of stick off our fans after Widnes beat us at home, he stayed on the pich after the game, think thats when some fans gave him and his family some grief after the game. That must have been the lowest point of his career.

We must have played Fax away twice that year as i remember us getting beat late on in the game, Briers must have dropped about 6 goal then near the end kicked straight into touch. Plange was incharge then.
The wire fans still went to the front of the stand and clapped the team off i remember being close to tears then.

me and my mate got in loads of trouble with our better halfs during this season as we had to drown our sorrows after the game quite frequently,we were terribly poor on the whole but in a couple of games we looked fantastic.
what sticks in my mind from that season was the immense queues at that little bar next to the food kiosk where that big lass used to serve,one home game the lager was that bad we threw 2 extra strong mints in our pints just to make it drinkable,
it was a cold,wet season but the entusiasm where we stood near the scoreboard never wavered,magic days.

Horrible, Horrible year!
There were points during that season I almost threw my season ticket into the mersey. Can talk about a couple of good points but there was so much unbelievable dross to manure 50 farmers fields

What year did Wire beat PSG in Biarritz?

I agree with much of what Paul Youanne said, that season we knew from the players that we had signed and also the rumours that the club was balancing on a high-wire financially that we where up against it and we would have a real battle on our hands.

Andersons plans looked fantastic on paper but in the real work just didn't work and Plange was anything but a coach but cloth was cut according to pennys in the bank.

My overiding memory of that year in particular was the support and how unwavering it was. Because everyone knew we where up against it, the support was fantastic even when we lost because the players even though some weren't the best they gave us everything week in week out and the fans responded with some fantastic support.

Hull at the Boulevard was a strange day, no more than 80 or 90 people there from Warrington and they where rewarded with a well ground out win and a good performance from Mat Rodwell to mention just one.

I missed the win away at Leeds but not the Cas game which kept us up, probably the most momentous day watching wire for me that was until this years visit to Wembley and winning the Challenge cup.

Was this 2002?
