Mostly Fletcher Street End. I was superstitious about it during the Jonathan Davies era because we were generally winning, so I wanted to go in the same part every week, slightly to the left of the posts.

The superstition stopped working soon after Davies left so I started to roam around more. Still mostly the Fletcher Street End for the big games with the big crowds but when the crowds were thinner I'd watch some games in Pondlife. You would get some good wisecracking banter in there from the cynical old timers but there were idiots too who could ruin it. Worst was if you got a group of young lads who had spent a few hours getting tanked up in the Original Wire before the game. The "Stone Island" type.

In the last few years at Wilderspool I started going to the section to the right of the Bevan stand, close to the touchline. Most of my memories of the DVDV/Plange/Cullen era are from there.

I seem to remember they only had 2 or 3 military marches that would play on the wind up gramophone as pre match entertainment.

Quote: Wires71 "Karl should bottle the "Eau de Wilderspool" being a vibrant essence of mushy peas, bad pies, stale bitter, rancid farts, belches, BO, putrid latrines and wintergreen. Retro is back in. Mind you the HJ stadium is slowly, but surely, deteriorating into Wilderspool.'"
Some of the gentlemen I stand near in the South Stand just need a bit of Deep Heat and they are there!

I used to go in all areas of Wilderspool including the old and new stands. And did a few seasons at pond corner where the clients were very level headed knowledgable guys.
The best thing that happened was putting the gate in to prevent the yobs running round the ground to start fights.

And there was a bog there at the side of the stand tho many folk ed against the corrugated fence.

The trains used to slow down to get the score to pass it on at the station icon_biggrin.gif
