The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out

| 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.

| 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) ?

Having a pint at the OK Coral.
Feeling spiritual at Souix Falls.
Being chased by Native Americans ata Skid Row concertin Little Rock.
Saz`s Bar with the players after the game
The two families that looked after me and my oppo.
What a trip.
