Quote: lister "1993 against Halifax at home when I was 10, a night game where the floodlights went out for over 20 minutes. I had been going to Warrington Town games before with my neighbours but that night they invited me to the Rugby.

I still loved the game even though it was cold and we were standing around in the dark for a bit of the night. I bought a season ticket for £10 the day after and have been buying a season ticket ever since, I never have gone back to watch Warrington Town.'"


Could be the same one as me. I know it was Nov 5th, sat in the Bevan, not sue what year. John Schuster kicked us to death that night. Thats all i remember really. Lots of "and the two points added by John Schuster" . . .

Can't remember exact game, my mother used to take me, it would have been about 1958/59. In those days, they allowed young children to sit on benches inside the wall along the touchline for the 2nd half. Just about remember Brian Bevan's last game. I was stood in the corner where he scored his try.

The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off:



My first match was the wardonia cup in 1961 a friendly held between warrington and wigan (if there is such a thing) later known as the locker cup
held at the start of the season

Supporting Wires, Storm and Matty Johns:



Think it was about 1996 V Oldham Bears. Asked this giant (well to me) on the sidelines for his Autograph having no idea who he was. Later found out it was Mark Forster. And the rest is history!

Wilderspool 1966 - Pretty sure it was against Oldham but I was only 6.
Wire won I do remember that, Bobby Greenhough was my childhood hero and I was really pleased to see he's been inducted into the club Hall of Fame recently. Not before time.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Cracking player, it's just a pity about Jackie Edwards injury, they would have made a fantastic half back combination.

Same for me, that one, at least it's the match I remember. Had been going previously as a nipper with my Dad but this was the first match that captured my imagination as a 6 year old. Snared ever since.

Jonathon Davies scored one of the best tries Ive ever seen in this game. Picked the ball up on th ehalf way, beat a couple of men with changes of pace, chipped over the defensive line and won the race to the ball in the scoreboard corner. STill got the DVd of the tries from that season. Any younger fans who want to see a great team and some outstanding tries could do far worse then watch the DVd from this season.

Anyway i digress, 1st game Warrington v Leeds January 1975 Won 15-5.

v Bradford Northern at Wilderspool in Challenge Cup. We lost.

1985 or 86, can't remember. But can remember John Woods and Terry Holmes being outstanding for them.

Early 90's, cant remember the exact year. Don't really remember much of the game but was sat in Bevan stand. It was against Sheffield and we lost. icon_sad.gif Went a few more games after that using the vouchers the Warrington Guardian used to do for some games. Started going more regularly in 97 and rest is history.
