Well I know that nursery rhyme.
It wasn't that one, just sounded like it.

how was Dom Manfredi?

He an Johnson were their best players

Johnson is another player from the lower leagues, who is proving his worth in super league.

Huge improvement on Sunday and the line speed was looking much better along with the PTB.

Good following although we have taken more in previous years and I really don't understand what the bog roll is all about. I left work and got the train through to Irlam, had a couple of beers then jumped in a taxi and sailed straight through to the stadium without stopping once. Got a lift back and it only took a few minutes to get off. I have been to that stadium six times and always felt the traffic issues are massively over exaggerated!

Stadium has improved loads since my last visit for the World Cup warm up. Well impressed with the hogie wagons etc outside (Simon Moran looked to be enjoying his pie and peas) and the bar was great. I have been saying for years that we need something like it at the HJ, easy to maintain and it improves the fan experience no end!

We seem to be starting to click, no where near the dizzy heights of 2011 but a clear improvement.



The free live music in the Bar was very good. The Bar was packed with people buying drinks so any entertainment could be self financing. The only area we could use at the HJ is the Bar at the very back of the East which is currently used for Corporate meals. The Hogie Wagons outside (but on stadium land) sold food that looked of a good quality.

Widnes, Langtree, LSV and the stoop are all great examples of modern grounds which have vibrant bars for supporters. If memory serves the club owns the land to the rear of the south stand, or it could feature as part of any redevelopment. I would love to have somewhere to go afterwards with a band and presentations etc. Gillingham was rocking after our game down there during the summer! (Beer goggles could be partly to do with that).

Could also open for sky games as other than the Connie Club and Baffitos (which I am going right off) there is nowhere else with sky in town that I would want to drink in.

The song was.

Allez, Allez, Allez ohhhhhhhhh!
Allez, Allez, Allez ohhhhhhhhh!
Warrington rugbyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Tony Smith's armyyyyyyyyyyy!


You can see it on YouTube for the tune, it's been ripped off from Everton.

Did Morley gesture back to the wire fans when we sang "Morley is a Wire"?

End of the game he smiled and gave a discreet thumb

He did. I noticed that.

He's a Salford lad but he's a wire deep down. Same with Briers, saints lad who will always have Wire in him.

Seemed to me people were singing 'barmy army army ohhhhhhh'

I was pretty steamed by the 2nd half and I've spent half the weekend trying to remember what we were singing. Quite enjoyed this!

And was the cause of this Pythonesque terrace-stomping lyrical outburst the hearty ale or the hearty performance?

Specifically, can I get the ball rolling on another "Drop Atkins & Myler" thread or did they start to show some form?

I don't think anyone stood out but Myler was fairly solid although i prefer GOB kicking to Myler.
