The weather was kind and after all the hoolabaloo about stadium capacity the one thing that the "tightness" of the Stobart Stadium did was to generate a terrific atmosphere. Whist an extra thousand or two on the capacity may have been ideal I can't believe that a barely two-thirds full Reebok/Graphalm would have been anywhere near as good fun.
Can't comment for the other stands but the Warrington fans in the South Stand were a credit to the club which is not something that can be said for us through-out this season. Of course winning makes it easy to enjoy yourselves but even before the match the Warrington stands were party central compared to the sombre look of the Pie-Munchers. Obviously a bit of trouble near the end in the west stand but to be fair beer, sun and a defeat for one team meant that a little rumble was always going to happen. Somebody should have took Danny Dyer in there with them.
As for the team

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

Very good post PY. TBH, the game the other day was a highlight for me in RL.
It was outstanding, and the atmosphere was second to none.
The players (every single one of them) deserve a pat on the back, despite some folk still slagging off the likes of Johnson and Clarke.

Did any LFC fans object to singing a Yanited/Everton song? |

We had a family of three sat in front of us, who had a boy aged five. He alone made my semi-final.
As i was biting my finger nails and my mate was closing his eyes when Wigan were chasing, he wondred what all the fuss was about! He knew we were going to win, he kept saying
And as i had tears in my eyes when Hicks went over, he told me to stop been a girl and enjoy it instead of crying! A little legend in the making. Had me in stitches all through the game.

It was a fantastic day. For the neutrals it was a fantastic advert for our great game of rugby.
The fans in the majority were excellent what a great site to see all four sides of the ground stand up (not everyone on some sides obviously) when the chant of "if you love wires stand up" rung round the stadium.
The players gave it everything they had and I was impressed with how the conducted themselves at the hooter, celebrate but not OTT.

I've watched Warrington for 35 years and I can honestly say that the atmosphere on Saturday was the best i've experienced for a long long time, if not the best ever. Fantastic day & experience.

I've not watched them for 35 years but I'm with you. I was thinking about that, last game at Wilderspool, First game at HJ, Johns, nothing came close to Saturday for me. |

That, my friend is quality. Too true.

As a family we have been season ticket holders for three years and Saturday was the best atmosphere I have been in following Warrington. Half time was mental what a party
