Quote: just_browny "I don't understand why Dropkick's OP is supposedly in opposition to the Flying Biscuit's. DM is right - it's more than about time we went and won the championship, and the FB is right that us not having won it doesn't invalidate what we've done and achieved in the interim. We'll still be a big club if we don't win on Saturday.
But FFS, people do need to stop moaning about how the train was a bit hot last year or saying that Huddersfield are the true champions. It's laughable and embarrassing.
Get on the phone, get tickets bought and let's do it for all of the great Wire players, coaches, staff and fans who haven't quite made it before. For Parry Gordon, Les Boyd, Mike Gregory, Paul Cullen, Paul Darbyshire and thousands more.'"
Well said that man. In 1954 hardly anyone in the town owned a car- yet tens of thousands ,made the journey to Odsal by piling into the back of vans, waving down cars and forcing their way onto trains. People piled railway sleepers up so that they could stand on them to see, and pulled down fences to get into the bowl. Children were passed down and sat on the touchline, hardly a soul could see. Yet the people I have spoken to who were there wouldn't have changed it for the world.
Lets rekindle that 1954 spirit, get there by hook or by crook and pack Old Trafford and the city of Manchester out on Saturday, watch history hopefully unfold before our eyes and enjoy the greatest game of all!
Don't be the person who sits watching at home or in the pub feeling absolutely sick because they decided not to bother for some daft reason. Even if you have never watched the sport, as a Warringtonian there is nowhere else to be on Saturday!
