What about Goodison Park? Played Barrow in a league 'home' game there.
85 or 86 I think. Wilderspool was frozen and we hadn't played a home
game for over a month previously.

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



I've had a look and I think I've watched Warrington at nineteen grounds - all the current SL grounds except Catalans and Crusaders (I have been to Wrexham V Liverpool at the Racecourse Ground though) - plus Wilderspool, Central Park, Anfield, Wembley, Hilton Park, Griffin Park and Naughton Park.

I've been to more than that watching Liverpool, including a couple that crossover - Wigan and Hull - where I've watched both, and I've seen Liverpool at the old Wembley and Warrington at the new one.

I've also been to a few grounds watching neither of the above - Celtic Park, Hampden, Bernabeu, Murrayfield and quite a few lower division football grounds so the overall total may well hover around the 65 mark if I work it all out but obviously that's not just watching Wire.

A quickish ten minutes has got me up to 55 watching Warrington, there's probably more with a bit more thinking! Not sure I could get up to 65 though...

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And we're always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12937.jpg



HJ, Wilderspool, JJB, Halton, Know-it-All Road, Hilton Park, LSV, Griffin Park, Willows, Galpharm, Odsal, Wheldon Road, Headingley, Belle Vue, KC, New Craven Park and Wembley off the top of my head.

I haven't been to that many tbh. Though in my time as an away supporter, the Top-Flight Merry-go-round has been a bit more exclusive than in previous years. Missed out on a few cup days though; The Rec (been there, just not to watch Warrington), Fev, Boundary Park etc.

I would have to get in the Attic to look through old programmes for most others before the Mid 1990's as my memory has gone. I could probably add another half dozen to that.
Unless my mind is playing tricks on me I cant remember playing at the Reebok but I have been there for internationals.

ABW.:



Quote: pocket*trout "The 1st match ever to be played at Huyton was against Warrington. Unfortunately the match was cancelled minutes before the kick off as the pitch was full of pot- holes & the ref said it was unsafe.
On the way out the coach was pelted with bricks & a window was broken. Never went to Huyton again. The match was replayed at Wilderspool.'"

It was a Lancs Cup match and I think the referee was Fred Lindop. Half an hour before KO he did a pitch inspection in his Wellies and sank in the mud. It was later found that one of the Stands was also sinking. It was in one of the worst parts of Liverpool.
Can anyone else remember watching us play Hunslet (then New Hunslet) at the Elland Road Greyhound Stadium? It was when they used the American style goalposts.

Quote: andy shakeshaft "i have been watching the wolves / wires for the last 40 years and during that time i have seen them play on more than

65 different grounds

of which 16 are football grounds

1 baseball ground

and i have seem them play home matches at 4 different venues

i was wondering if anybody has been to more grounds than me'"


Can you add an Olympic Stadium to your list too? Barcelona Estadi Olimpic? And a American Football ground (Milwaukee) ?
