Watching Wire since a kid and its always been Pies.But Will always remember the Regal Trophy semi agains Widnes at Central Park......I was 19 and couldnt stand Widness then lol

I remember the game at naughton park, i think in 1988 in the old premiership playoff. I was only around 10 years old and remember us being 4-2 up at half-time
and all the wire fans came over from the old shed end chanting 4-2, 4-2 etc. There were a few kick offs on the half way line between fans. Same game when all
the players had that massive battle and dessie punched a widnes fan for calling him something racist.

hopefully in 2012 we will be your main rival again, and probably a definet 4 points for you

My fingers will be crossed mate, will be good when your back

Spot on and thanks to pocket*trout for the vintage artwork.

Hhhm, interesting thread this!

As a chemic, and a young one at that as I missed all the halcyon days of King Kurt, Offiah Davies etc, and back to back title wins, it is Warrington. I think I speak for most Widnes supporters. If not all. Though you may find a few oddballs who claim it is Hull FC or Leeds etc.

A good majority of Wires fans I speak to have always maintained it is Wigan though. Even those who were there in the good old days of Wildernesspool. I think that maybe has something to do with the relatively close proximity and the fact that Wigan and Warrington, as towns are probably more equally matched and populated than Widnes and Warrington. I don't really see how Stains can be classed as Wires major rivals though, iMHO!

Anyway, roll on 2012 (hopefully) when I can have a WWF style handicap match vs wire 85 and Latchfordbob outside my old Maths room on the Wad forecourt.
