Warrington V Halifax 1987, we won 16-10 (I think) in a dour game, John Woods seemed to kick goals from anywhere, Brian Johnson didn't seem to get a speck of mud on his pristine white kit with P&B chevron.

Hooked ever since.

Quote: Dropkick Murphy "I was a fairly late convert to the game as despite growing up in Warrington I was only interested in football as a kid and didn't go to Wilderspool for the first time until I was 14.

A game then came around which created such a buzz among the Wire fans at school that a few of us decided to go along for the first time and see what all the fuss was about.

Friday 22nd April 1994

Warrington 36-18 Sheffield Eagles

Anyone who was there that night will need no reminding of why I was immediately hooked. Brilliant.'"


I was at this game. Absolutely great.

My first game was 87, home to Leeds. Les Boyd played with his arm in a cast.

My Dad took me to the 1974 final v Fev when I was 6, then again the year later v Widnes, and I've been going ever since - so I made sure I took my two kids with me this year to see if it has the same affect on them - two wolfpack season tickets for Christmas so it seems to have worked!!!!

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



Quote: matt6169 "two wolfpack season tickets for Christmas so it seems to have worked!!!!'"


I bought a Wolf Pack season ticket for the 94/95 season after the match I mentioned above. It was a tenner then. If we do expand the ground in the next few years I'd love to see a similar concession re-introduced to get more local kids going.

My father took me the 1967 Australian's tour match. Australia won 16-7. Stand-off Willie Aspinall scored the Wire try. I was then hooked me and friend where the only two Wire fans to catch the bus from Lymm for two or three years but in then the numbers started to grow.

To some greatness comes naturally In Smith we trust:Black Backgrounds/Animal.gif



Mine was Bradford home 2007 and I have only missed one home game since. I first moved to Warrington in 2000 when I was posted here with the Army in2000. I was a football fan then so I never went to watch the rugby. However on leaving the army we moved back to Warrington where I got the bug after my first game. Me, my wife & two children are season ticket holders since the 2008 season. It's brilliant.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



Rochdale at home in the early 70s when we had already won the league/championship, whatever it was called. I remember the players running out and chucking toffees into the Fletch.
