My take on it completely. We never expected anything in the last few years at Wilsderspool. Ever since we moved, it felt succcess should be immediate becuase we were in a shiny new environment. It is only over the past two to three years were I really thought we have under achieved. By that, I don't mean winning the CC or GF, but actually challenging for them.

| I've never understood this myth about the Wilderspool atmosphere. Few and far between was my memory, especially where I stood towards pondlife corner.
There was the odd game such as the semi v Widnes, but in the main, no different to the HJ on most matchdays.

Back to the late eighties when I started going every week.
There was one good thing about Wilderspool, at least you were warm when the sun came out, the South Stand should be renamed Ice Station Zebra.

| It is a myth that the atmosphere at Wilderspool was amazing every week. It was moribund plenty of times.
Fans were a bit more tolerant then though. Pre 2003, booing was reserved for despicable collapses of the lowest order, for a lack of effort and basically waltzing through games. Now, booing is deemed acceptable by some if Warrington concede a try or lose by 2 points to Salford. Who the [expletive deleted do we think we are?
I understand the 'reasons' for this and I appreciate people feel they have a 'right' to boo but it really is very counterproductive. I'd like to see an 'us versus them' attitude developed between our club and the rest of the world. Not between ourselves.
