Parry Gordon's passes,Les Boyd's strong runs,Mike Gregory's workrate,Des Drummond's tries,Jonathan Davies' sheer genius...........oh,and Alan Rathbone's punches! All memories of the legendary venue which was Wilderspool stadium. Gone maybe,but never,ever forgotten.

Coming from Sankey I beg to differ, and no it's definitely not drifting in from Widnes

Fiddlers Ferry ain't responsible for the smell though, I blame Gateworth landfill site and it's neighbouring sewerage treatment works.

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]:7294.jpg |

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

The wind generally blows in an easterly direction though, so hard luck.  |

Aye, but that’s not it’s general direction. Like I said, the prevailing winds tend to blow east.
The power station mostly releases water vapour anyway. It’s just the which blows out of that middle stack you have to worry about. |

Yeah..that disgusting smell of........ soap!!!   
Have you ever stood on a platform at Bank Quay when that thing is in full force..
It's like what I imagine Ladies Toilets to smell of. |

Ha ha... I was thinking just that.
Just out of interest... have you been inside Wilderspool at all recently. I'm wondering what it looks like now from the inside. I drive past it everyday and wonder.
Some brilliant memories of derby games in that old ground. I personally loved visiting it. The noise you could generate under that shed in the away end was tremendous.
Despite all the talk of new stadiums I do hark back and fondly think of grounds like Central Park and the terrific games we had at places like that.
Sitting in half empty grounds like the Galpharm, the JJB and the KC just don't provide the same level of atmosphere.

It's not the final finished product fragrance though is it, it's a nasty chemical smell!!
And yes IET, Bank Quay station platform is particularly unpleasant when that smell is in the air!
