Wtfc will have to consider an approach to the hj should we get through and another home tie

I find it very interesting that people are excited by the prospect of this club potentially playing a top flight side.

In rugby league, if Hemel reached the fifth round of the Cup and lost 84-6 to Warrington it would be deemed as an embarrassment to the sport and destroying the competition.

What's the difference?

Any spare tickets knocking about per chance? Got there at 12-15 and queued up only to be dissapointed! Went the bl00dy Ferriby game aswell!

You wouldn't get an equivalent score in football. Also, you do occasionally get upsets. I was reading last week that Altrincham have beaten league opposition around 16 times in the FA Cup. I know they are higher than Warrington but it just goes to show.

FC United did it a couple of years ago, beating Rochdale away before drawing away at Brighton.

The difference is that Rugby League fans like a good moan and a whinge about anything.



An 84-6 scoreline in Rugby League, I'd consider to be a thrashing. What do you consider to be a thrashing in football? Is Southampton 8-0 Sunderland not high enough?

I agree it's hard to compare the two scorelines, given that they are completely different sports with very few, if any, similarities. But even with the most basic knowledge of either sport, you'd know if one side was beaten heavily by another team.

Who cares it's soccer after all

That wyrewire is the attitude I'd expect only from a pieater!
I care because I'm a Wire and I support whoever represents Warrington. They represent my town and me.
Cotw...yellows!

I'd say 84 - 6 was a lot more of a thrashing than 8-0. I'd also think that if Warrington played Hemel, it would be more than 84.

The original point was that a heavy defeat would be embarrassing for the sport and would destroy the competition, so why are people excited.

My point is there is a chance of an upset there, even though personally I think Warrington will get beat.

its called the romance of the cup..david and goliath..theres always been a shock in the fa cup..theres not that many in rugby league(cant think of the last one)maybe us at hull kr..it would be nice if town could pull out a performance and progress to the next round

Rubber Duckie I am not a pie I am an exiled warringtonian was raised on Latchford until left in 1970. I just don't want the football overshadowing rugby

I never called you a pie my friend.
That would be a horrid insult.
I wouldn't fear a FA overshadowment from Town over SL in our lifetime.
I would ask the question isnt SL already second fiddle to FA with a combination of Utd City Liv Eve and others?

I don't believe rugby would lose support to football, none that's worth worrying about anyway, perhaps if town became professional then they may take fans away from the main 4 football rivals in this area though.
They would certainly take my support over them, and 2 of them are avidly supported in my household.

If Town became professional, or put it this way, if Town got so far as drawing one of the 2 above we follow, I will be supporting Town without malice.

I'm a Wire fan in RL but I'm a Man Utd fan in football, I'll be honest I don't care if Warrington Town win or not.

Wigan losing at home in the cup for the first time in my lifetime this year? Leigh narrowly losing away at cup holders Leeds? Batley narrowly losing to Huddersfield the year before? Fev and Barrow both knocking Cas out in recent years? Tolouse reaching the semi final? Catalans reaching the final? Just off the top of my head.

Bob, I was more referring to if Warrington advance and reach top flight opposition.

Warrington is a football town.
