some widnes fans did, the daft ones (which is nearly all of them )

Well, when roger the doger was in charge at Warrington, he was very much in favor of single sponsors, he wasn't happy with how the stadium hoardings looked, with different signage, 150 different companies with 150 different logos and colours all splashed about the place, and was hoping he could entice Fly Emirates to be sole sponser (shirt and stadium ) then he got a better offer and buggered off leaving us in a financial black hole and had ###### off a lot of longstanding advertisers/sponsors by trying to exclude them. Including a main shirt sponsor which meant we went with little known one energy (who i believe is a wire fan based on merseyside). I don't know how much they paid last year but probably got more exposure than ever previously with us getting to two finals

CCC europe went bust, leaving wire in the lurch in late 09. Thats when they went to isc.

Ratchford is making the squad this week

well he only got 5 matches when he did it https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/sep/06/gareth-hock-wigan-ban and "it was out of character"

You say that, but i'd kill to see Warrington play against australia at the halliwell jones, one of my earliest RL memories is us playing the Oz midweek team at wilderspool in 94, it was jam packed and a real event. Bring back proper tours and mid week games against club sides. #nostalgia

Well, liam hood will probably still be there in 3 years,

Aww,, thats a shame, i liked big red at warrington

Say what?

He's had ONE injury, which he probably came back from way too soon in a desperate attempt to play at the world cup. Prior to that he's been mr consistent and one of the best backrowers in the comp, do warrington give him give him as much chance as possible before writing him off? absolutely. and as for bodene not being kept on at warrington, he wanted a 2 year deal, we offered him 12 months. And it looks like we're attempting to bolster our squad with youth

only seems to be widnes fans hearing this, there's nothing this side of fiddlers ferry

still maybe just under a thousand or so available on the rfl site in the wire end,

Peyroux came back on in the second half

http://www.widnesvikings.co.uk/article/54620/anthony-gelling-signs-for- no mention in there. To be honest, if i was a player and a club started having conversations with me about a championship clause in my contract i'd be telling my agent to hold off and find me another club, anyway it wouldn't be worth the paper its written on come relegation.

i've heard Price doesn't think he's physically ready for Superleague, whether that actually translates into he's too small i don't know. a shame really, he was one of the bright spots of last year after he came in for brad dwyer. Possibly the best dummy half passer we have as well.

That sounds so made up, did you make that up?

i've just worked out what went wrong with currie this year, it was having that bloody brownee brother sat on him while planking for half an hour for that stupid advert.

and to think gary said this week, they dont need a reserve squad as their academy is pumping out quality players, he's kidding himself lately. Aside from Walker and singleton they aint much cop. Liam sutcliffe has been heralded as the second coming of sinfield, but they keep shifting him from position to position trying to accomodate him. And he's not much cop.

defense striking for the ball at the PTB Super league milk, Super league themed peter's pies the first gen 8 panelled ball.

to be fair, in the wires end, there was a lot of empty seats as the beer queues were taking up to 45 minutes at the start of the wire game, queues were huge and i believe the beer [pumps shut down due to running out of gas at one point (need more interchanges). There were a couple sat next to me that came in at the end of the saints game, went straight for a beer and only came back at 30 minutes gone in the first half.

that's warrington's new victory song, they now play it after every win at home, they're trying to get a 'sweet caroline' thing going i guess

Is that true? i do wonder cos one of the other stories that you hear about youth players that get released after 19s if they don't make the grade, a lot of them dont go to championship clubs or even back to their community clubs, they just walk away and are lost from the game entirely. I've heard that peddled a lot in recent years.

you know what, i really liked that, it was something a bit different, and since it came out before the emails and text alerts that they send to members, i thought it was going to be something jumping on the 'its coming home' bandwagon and a message of support for England, so it was a nice surprise. It really disapointed me the amount of people slagging it off on twitter. That just goes to show you just can't do right with some people/ fans of rugby league, they'll complain about anything.

Its amazing the breakdown and indepth analysis on ANYTHING within american sports. You can get NBA stats about how many times a right handed point guard uses his left hand back court in the second quarter adjusting his crotch material on a tuesday game.

reported to be on about 45k at the moment, must be the best value for money player currently.
