There's a link on the BBC website to a clip of Tony Smith on the Super League show, on the video and audio section, www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/ but the interesting thing about this is on link to the clip it is headlined "Wire coach eyeing elusive double".
Has anyone noticed them doing this before?
I've never actually seen the BBC use the term Wire in a headline. It's always Wolves. |

BBC always use Wire as far as I know. I read a few match reports and the odd blog/article they put on there. Pretty sure it's always Wire used. Doesn't really matter, but I imagine they use nicknames with every club where it matters? I imagine they do it on the football reports as well.

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

I've noticed it on the BBC website a few times recently.
I think the club are slowly starting to give up and accept that the fans have spoken (and chanted) for the last fifteen years, and we are, were, and always will be, the Wire.

I think we used to be called Wanky for a while but that has drifted out of fashion for some reason or other.

I think BBC mainly use the term Wolves, but aren't afraid to refer to us as Wires (or The Wire), probably as an acknowledgement that latter is the traditional name that the majority of fans (both Wire and non-Wire) still call us by. Whereas Sky would never refer to us as Wire/s, because in their eyes the game was only invented in 1996.
