Al Pacino "Scent of a Woman" there's a joke in there somewhere

Club open, but I don't think they will be showing anything, that is too much like hard work.

apparently they're showing our famous 22-2 win at Wilderspool in Sept 2002 just for the benefit of the Wire fans coz most of them weren't there

S. Mind you, not as far into fantasy land as the bloke who once told me you bring 4,000 every time you play at the Willows.

I can remember two coaches full and Tawera Nikau getting some rotten abuse, not so far in the past ...

from Paul Highton!

Aren't you hoping for 10000 glory-hunters to supplement your 2980 hard core to help fill your new place?

Nope, we are trying to expand our hardcore fan base. Winning games will help do that admittedly.

yeah we're copying the idea from Warrington

Personally I'm looking forward to the day when fans of other teams sing 'Where were you when you were s**t' at us...

The other week, when Wire were losing, some opposition fans chanted "[iOh y y, y y y y Warrington[/i" at them

Later in the game Wire went in front and their fans replied with "[iWe're not y, we're not y, we're not y any more[/i".

Made me chuckle!

Hoping to use it in the same way at Wanderers at some point?!

wow, tawera nikau, you've gone back 10 years to get a dig in, how many times have you been relegated in that 10 years? 2 or 3?

Twice in the last 10 years. Including two 1st place finishes, two Grand Final wins, a record breaking Northern Rail Cup win and an Arriva Trains Cup. So we've actually won more silverwear than you!

I can see a flaw in your point.

Am still saying between 8 and 9 thousand. For todays game.

2010 - 6093
2009 - 6150
2007 - 6117

Today? I'll go for 6200.

Wire are more than happy to welcome as many glory hunters as want to pay to get in. As will Salford, if you ever have some glory to hunt.

On the other hand, we could make it compulsory to have attended every game over the last twenty years before you're granted admission in 2011. That's real loyalty to your fans, that is.

Think diavolo was just highlighting the change in support & attitude of Wire fans especially since your two cup wins and that you weren't so well away supported in the ' barren years ' , 19 of them if you include a regal trophy win 35 of them if you don't.
TBH it's not that hard to get a dig in on us considering our chequered past


looking forward to the game . let hope it's a good game and that people are humble in victory and gracious in defeat ..

I think there will be some Salford fans in attendance too



Looks set fair weather wise and a nice bit of breeze to make the high ball of Steffs a threat let's hope for a good game.

Wheres this massive attendance from Salford fans? Massively outnumbered by wire

I knew it wouldn't take long....go on then, how many thousands did you bring then??

I've no idea and your shed did fill up 5 minutes before ko. Wire did bring a decent following though. What was the attendance?

Massively outnumbered was your quote...massively incorrect.
Good to see you nicking an already nicked/copied "Poznan" as well as the songs you've nicked too. As imaginative as ever.

So what was the crowd?
