a coach full of west ham fans pulled in at the services and asked me who the hell we were, i told him we were all off to wembley to watch the rugby league challenge cup and one said they had never seen so many fans in a service station and all the blokes are massive... he said when they first pulled on they were tin themselves when they saw all the coaches with flags etc....anyway i saw em 5 minutes later on my way back out havin a right laugh with a bunch of wire wans all in fancy dress.

I dont no. but we're getting pints thrown at us, so i was guessing it was us they was on about

Well if you were one of the 5 or 6 Wakey idiots in 116 and if that behaviour is your normal good day out then you are really a small minded pr*ck who shouldn't be near a rugby ground (and that goes for any fans regardless of affiliation!). Otherwise I guess you don't have a clue who I am on about and just wanted to feel important and join in the conversation - Bit boring on the Wakey site is it?

We were talking about it at Wembley and we couldn`t think of another team in England with a singular name like The Wire,( coz that`s what we are, not Wires imo) Eg The Swans, The Irons, the reds

The canaries, The Robins.....etc

Shorpe United are known as 'The Iron', I believe.

Good point, now that's a pub quiz question...

I guess you've got The 'Fax, but it's not exactly imaginative!
