Quote wigan_knight="wigan_knight"you will find all your looking for in the post you quoted..A unsuccessful side making most of there Wembley day
Should i have said Castleford in 94 there fans believed that was the start of a new era. This could be a start of some success for wire. I'm comparing reactions mate nothing more'"
Despite saying I won't debate this, here goes!
I actually do feel that the comparison would have been better if you had said Cas. It would have even been better to compare our reaction to ourselves in 1990.
Sheffield as a club, and as a fanbase was a whole different scenario to us, and that is why I found the comparison strange, and assumed it was a pi$$-take.
Sheffield had very little history, had had very little success in the past, had a very small fanbase, and actually nobody gave them a chance of doing anything in the final.
Nobody had ever expected much from the Eagles. Wire have under-performed for a number of years, however have a decent sized fanbase, have a long history, had some success in the past (nowhere near enough for my liking!) and the future looks much more rosy than that of the Eagles 10 years ago.
Almost everything is in place at Warrington, all apart from any on-field success. That wasn;t the case at Sheffield last time. The hope was that the Wembley trip would give their overall club a boost, however the off-field stuff at Wire isn;t the issue.
