I remember a lady walking through with a Saints shirt on in the concourse, getting massive abuse. Foot an mouth, foot an mouth, foot an mouth.

I've already mentioned the home Wigan match in the previous thread, but for me it was one of the great Wire performances. Sally has already said that we were Langer inspired that night (does anyone remember him going down as if shot by a sniper as he scored and then crawling nearer to the posts?), but the real hero was Gary Mercer who never stopped running and tackling. Everything that night was perfect, little were we to know what was to come in 2002. If anyone wants to borrow the Wigan game Video, I've still got a copy.
Sally, this idea of a review of the whole 10 years is superb. Is it your memory, or do you have Videos/DVD's of every game over the entire period?

My memories are of those big wins at home against Leeds, Saints and Wigan.....think the first game was on the Thursday before Easter and then the next two were Friday night games on sky......me and my mate snook some vodka in and then went out on the town to celebrate after each win!! Good times!! I think Brannagans opened on that Thursday as well if memory serves me correctly.......

and to finish it off after beating Saints as i was walking to queue for Smiths i spotted a drunken celebrating Gary Mercer arm in arm with two other Wire players, (cant remember who though)

On the night of that 56 - 22 win against Saints I quit my part time job at ASDA that I'd been at for 16 months. I had the night off booked for a month beforehand they then said on the Thursday that I couldn't have it off afterall. Got to watch a great game and just concentrated on college instead.

47 - 38 against Wigan what a game that was, we had been beaten by London, Wakefield, and Hull in recent weeks and thought another big loss was coming but the inconsistant team put in a performance that week, we did go to Salford the week after and lose though, which sums up what the team was like.

The Bradford home game 18 - 14 there were only 4,011 fans there me being one of them, that attendance was a really low point but the result wasn't "The Warrington fans are going bananas" Stevo said as Rob Smyth went in at the corner.

After that win we beat Cas, put up a decent performance in a loss to Wigan, drew with Saints, narrowly got beat by Leeds, got killed by Bradford but then just beat Cas again in the last game.

I actually can't believe we managed to finish 7th that season.

Only SL player ever IIRC.

I made every home game that season bar the Bradford debacle (also managed to miss the home thumping by them in first year at HJ...). Fave memory was singing "Are you watching Sky TV" during the Wigan game as they had cancelled plans to show it live due to it being too easy a game for the pies...

Its my memory, sad lad that I am, mixed with checking the fixture list from the season and seeing the scores which jogs things.

As Mark points out this was the year of "Foot and Mouth" and that chant was used against various teams, I remember Bradford getting it.

This was the year we signed Steve Georgallis. He was the type of signing the fans never liked - a 30 odd year old Aussie over here off quota on an EU passport and his first couple of games he looked slow and got everybody shouting at him. After the Challenge Cup semi he won the fans over as a hard worker who seemed to be getting into the whole thing of playing for the Wire, then just as people had warmed to him he got a season ending injury and never played again!

Another part of this season was the arrival on the scene of Paul Wood who came onto the bench at the start of the season and stayed there for pretty much every game. Where other youngsters can come in and get big hype then fade away, Wood just quietly held his own and started getting better slowly, he was skinny for a prop back then but never looked overawed physically.

2001 was the swansong of Allan Hunte who was a source of frustration for us all during his three years with us but on the other hand was quite popular, he scored a lot of tries and he did have pace, when he was on the break you could usually rely on him to finish. I used to love the the "Allan 'Unt, Allan 'Unt, Allan 'Unt" chant.

Remember Martin Masella too? Just had the one year with us, seemed a decent bloke, worked hard and did his best. No quarrels with his effort.

The most important thing by far that season for us was getting the stadium approved, we got the news after the season was over, shortly before the end of the year if I remember rightly, that the stadium would go ahead.

'We want Daryl out' chants at home to London Broncos sticks in my mind, too.
