Don't like the name Wolves, but at least its one of the better ones. Some of them like Wildcats and Giants sound ridiculous.

Traditional names like Hull FC, Hull KR and Saints are the best.

Will always be 'The Wire' for me anyway.

Warrington Widgers was an option I believe, however the Super League said there was already one team of bell ends in Wigan so we had to leave that one alone.

I heard it once.

Cas away, think it was at the end of the 2001 season....some bloke must have got into the PA system box and goes "come onnn you Wooolves" which blasted out over the tannoy.

One of the most random things to happen at a Warrington match....if you're going to crash the DJ box, what a random thing to shout!

Agreed.

I think I'd go with ...

Whick whick whick pew, whickawhick whick whick. (Rap scratches)

"Peace."

On the basis that the Wire are named after a major, but now defunct industry, what would we be called if we were re-named after the current dominant industry within the town?

The "Warrington Office Blocks" maybe?

Dominant industry............will have to be the "Warrington Shitpubs".

It was definately Cull that introduced the Wolves bit, initially it was the 'Wire Wolves.' Maybe someone should ask him how it came about. Will always be the Wire for me though.

i think you'll find warrington town fc have copy writed the nickname the wire, it was only recent but my uncles on the board there and was made up when they got it

No point really, what's the point of calling them 'Town' then?

not a clue told him when the did it, it was a waist and would'nt catch on

In response to Mr Catsmith, when have Warrington ever been good at making good marketing decisions ?

We need to employ a seriously poop hot marketing department.

Posters and billboards in town.
Competitions for the locals away from matchday.
Promotions.
Events, again away from matchday
Sponsor events
Summer/training schools
School/College events
Better/more varied merchandise

i'd rather Moran invest his money in the above than Moi Moi

Sorry mate, but tell your uncle his money has gone down the drain.

I thought Warrington Town were known as "Yellows"?

I presume by copywriting the name "Wire" that means the RL club cannot use it on any merchandise and must stick exclusively to Wolves? That's not right at all in my opinion.

No disrespect to Town as I don't mind non league football at all but growing up in Warrington I didn't even know where Cantilever Park was until I was in my teens and I've never seen a single person walking around Warrington wearing one of their shirts, scarves or whatever. Everyone in Warrington who likes football supports a Liverpool or Manchester club (although seeing a few Chelsea and Arsenal shirts in the town now makes me sick) so I don't see how a grass roots side earn themselves any good will by effectively stealing the nickname of the only professional sports club we have.

As the big headline on our Programme this season has been THE WIRE, I don't think that Town have copyrighted the name. There's only one Wire and only ever will be one.

tell me why Moran has got to fund this, don't you think he done enough for this club. lets get more fans to the games and try and take it from there
