*sigh* There you go again. Northern rugby did not start in 1895! Even Saints had won a cup by then (allbeit the Lancashire second division).

Fascinating how hard it seems to be for you to take that Saints were once not very important.

I'll leave you to your own echo chamber - maybe you'll have a more enjoyable 'discussion' that way.

All the best

10 Oct 1982.Warrington 26 Widnes 6.

I Cannot recall Widnes ever playing at Wilderspool in our second strip.

I think a minor riot emanating from the Railway End would have brought about a swift about turn from the Chemics if they ran out in the P&B. I don't remember that either.

I vaguely remember a game with us and not having the right shorts or wearing the other teams shorts.
But very vague...it was however shorts whatever it was.

It happened, I was there amongst 5000 others.It was the blue jerseys with the letter W on the breast.I have a grainy picture but not sure how to upload.I can email it to anybody interested.Poor quality picture but you can just make out the W on the shirt of Stuart Wright.Proper fixture, not a friendly game.
