How can a team that didn't even finish top of their domestic table be considered contenders for "world champions" title?

It would be almost as embarrassing as the scousers claiming they were champions of Europe in 2005 when they weren't even the best team in Merseyside.

Class.

Now that is very good. A *

Why not fill Wembley or Old Trafford with wiry watchers? Well there’s nowt like optimism!

For all the people getting a bit over-excited about this topic, the worst being fellow Warrington supporters rolling their eyes or panicking in case rival supporters see it. In all honesty, who cares if they do?

Now notice the highlighted words, and that this whole thread is about a hypothetical situation which may or may not arise. I was just enquiring about a likely venue, and who the majority would want to face IF we're involved.

Plus as someone mentioned earlier, there's nothing wrong with a bit of optimism every now and again.

I don't even think it's optimism, Wire finished second in the league and won the challenge cup and are the best prepared team for the playoffs; in fact, if I was a bookie I'd make them favorites. Add to that the medium sized stadium that Warrington play in and the fact that they have not won the Grand Final before and a genuine question arises; where should it be played? Simple enough.

Fucking hell, teams that Warrington thoroughly trounce are always obsessed (looking at Wigan and Widnes fans here.)

It will be great to see all those bitter Wigan and Saints fans, supporting the Aussie team, it will bring some cheer to them at last after a full off season of smug faced Wire fans going on and on about winning the Grand Final.

"Just like the last three, this year is our year."

(Wire v Widnes 2012 aggregate scoreline: Wire 116 Widnes 30)
Yes I can see what you laughed at!

weve won the league, weve won the challenge cup, and we have been world club champions !
this is a thread about where warrington will play in the world club challenge 2013
YES YOU CAN SEE WHY I LAUGHED

Was your mum even born then?

Are you suggesting she was a genetic experiment, created in a test tube ?

Nope. No it clearly isn't about where Wire [iwill[/i play the WCC, it was a perfectly fine question about the [iifs[/i of such an occasion.

"I wonder what I'd do IF I win at the bookies today"

"I wonder what I'll get for Christmas this year IF I'm a good boy"

IF!

I know fine well what you're club has won, I don't sing songs about you not succeeding in the late 80s though do I? Like fans of Widnes and Saints seem to do about Wire in our recent years of success "this year is your year haha" - yes, just like the last three this year is our year (and we've made steady progress in the play-offs under Tony Smith: 2009 DNQ, 2010 Round 1, 2011 Round 3, 2012...)
Ah yes, let's all laugh at Wire...haha!

ye she was and so was i but we dont need to talk about mums now do we
theres a good lad. dont know why warrington fans are touchy about this thread
you lot started it

It wasn't a 'your mum' type attack more just a 'you do realise it was a long time ago' type of attack.

Someone mentioned jetlag...don''t the Aussies get it when they come here ? DW stadium ,we seem to have a good record there lately. Is there any point in reaching the GF when everyone's season ticket books are empty ?

I'm just off to the Widnes board to dig up the "where will we finish in our first superleague season" thread... i think it was after the Darren lockyer is coming thread.....

Anyway i'll laugh at the nerds that thought a play off spot was a possibility...............







Oh sweet jesus how I laughed at that... mid table if you please !!!





oh lord ha ha ha ha !!!!





seriously though many Wire fans are [uhoping[/u we just get to the grand final which will be [uone match further [/uthan last year.

I'm hoping its a Wire Wigan final (and I hate Wigan) but that should reflect the last two season both clubs have had, but whoever wins it will then get to play the pre season friendly game that many appear to have elevated to the greatest game on the planet.......its not....never has been never will be ...its just nice to be in.

you should be worried that since that world club challenge win the Lancashire cup is the only major trophy you've touched since then...how you have the brass ones to look down on other clubs (probably just us) I have no idea.

Lovin it year of the wolfs

^^^ I bet he lay awake last night thinking about posting that. Couldn't wait to get it on the board. Shame we're not actually out though isn't it?

The OP's first line

''Without getting ahead of ourselves, does anyone know where this is scheduled to be held''

Got to love people who can read?

There are too many posters on this website who live to post as many laughing heads and try to points score on rival fans forums.

These people just clearly haven't read the OP, not for a clue, just out to points score so they can log off with a smug smile on their face.

From what I got of the OP it was just a general question like "what's the weather going to be like tomorrow?" or "what dates can I book off for holidays this year?"... but no, let's make it a dig at Wire...

At the HJ perhaps, will it be all ticket or pay on the gate ?

dont worry you`ll get in,plenty of tickets left even after the "barmey army"have got their`s,still be 7-8 thou left

It'll be at Elland Road.

Neutrals are welcome.

would love to come but i`ll be in egypt enjoying 80odd degrees supping beer and relaxing..hope you do well tho gotta a soft spot for leeds and some of your players...and your fans who come on here and show some dignity...
