Not been to Wilderspool since the official last game V Wakefield in September 2003. It's mad that it's still been in use for over a decade since then.

People I know from outside Warrington always react in disbelief when I tell them it is still in use, I think most RL fans presumed the bulldozers moved in straight away like they did at Knowsley Road etc. Stranger still when you consider the boom in the property market at the time.

Am I correct in thinking we played a few friendlies there after the Wakefield game? I'm sure I remember Sean Mellor on the tannoy, the next last game at Wilderspool is next Friday against New Zealand A"
Could see Wilderspool out of my bedroom window when I was growing up, will be strange to see the old girl go.

There was...it became a lee penny farewell game as I vaguely recall. ?

Who's got their ticket for the 15th then?

As requested on here there will be a 'farewell Wilderspool' event of some sort at the end of the month, details TBC.

Got my tickets yesterday. Going to have a walk round after the match and try and take more memories home with me. Will be emotional to say the least.

Will do the same myself but my coat only has small pockets!!! Only joking.

I did that after the Wakefield game in 2003. I wanted to be the last person in the ground. Unfortunately so did about 500 other people, so after an hour I gave up and resumed my usual post match occupation. What's happening to the old lady? Houses?

Yep. Part of the Southern Gateway redevelopment of the area.

I'm hoping that in true rugby league style, we will be allowed to wander onto the pitch afterwards and take the place apart with a screwdriver. Won't get my hopes up.

I have a vivid image of dozens of people in replica tops descending on Fletcher Street under the cover of darkness armed with most of the B&Q hardware section, and stripping the place like a plague of locusts.

Count me in, and remember that scoreboard is mine.

Can you pay on the gate?

The potting shed!
Hope you don't get tempted to cupinol it another colour.

At present the club are saying you must purchase your ticket in advance from the HJ. If you are a season ticket holder, you get in for free but must get your free ticket for the game from the HJ beforehand.
