Doesnt Wigan's motto 'Ancient & Loyal' derive from the towns support of the crown in the Civil War? I presume we were at loggerheads with Wigan in those days too due to Olly's residency(albeit one night in the Indian!) in Warrington.

Its ironic that nowadays its us who play the more 'cavalier' style rugby, whilst Wigan prefer the more dour 'roundhead 'approach.

What about the Dragons? being that they are mythical creatures, are they still classed as animals?

When stood on the terraces I never hear the word wolves mentioned. I think we have the balance right. The club can market us as the wolves and we get the benefits from that, yet the fans "own" the wires thing and keep it alive through our dialect when talking about rugby and singing on the terraces.

That's something that won't die and I like that.

Stevo referred to us as the Wire tonight...then quickly corrected himself!

I couldn't agree more, the fans have kept our roots, the likes of Wigan have also done this and i'm sure Saints fans won't change even though they are being rebranded to the Saints RLFC.

Now the Wire...
