You've just made me really nostalgic for alliance games on a thursday (was it?) night at wilderspool,
being able to sit in teh bevan stand, hearing the players communicating on the pitch, seeing young lads proving themselves against first teamers.
Also where my first love of mike gregory came from, i first got took along by my bro on one of the nights mike was coming back from one of injurys, we went especially to see him. I th8ink that was the start of my Warrington rlfc apprenticeship.
Sorry, thread hijack there, carry on.
