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



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.

Cas at home on a friday night, pre-super league i think (maybe 1994) when i was 5, all I can remember is that we won, and the big screen was in the corner of the snookers/railway end stand (unless I am mistaken, which wouldn't surprise me...) icon_cool.gif hooked ever since...

Warrington v New Zealand 1971

Memories........

It was my birthday treat

A New Zealander getting the worst head cut I'd ever seen

Us winning........I think it was 13-2

Mick Henighan scoring a try and becoming my first RL hero

The sheer brutality of the game!!

I was hooked

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.

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!!!!

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.
