Now explain to him what soap is

Tut tut, no need



thanks for the explanation.

The wire used in the suspension bridge in the centre of Istanbul which links Europe and Asia came from Warrington. (That fact was about as useful as Josh Charnley under a high ball!)

Why ULTRAS where does it originate from where does it come from!!
Is it anything to do with Bleeding every 28 days???

Ahhh, the days before Super League came and almost every team decided to append a type of animal to their name.

Will the Wire name die out?

Not having sprogs of my own yet and thus not talking to any of the younger generation I am just wondering if they are using the 'Wire' name or the 'Wolves' tag?

Anyone have any insight?

For those of us who are slightly more mature in years it will always be the Wire. I notice that Warrington Town have now taken up the nickname, bloody cheek.

Don't know, but the younger generation certainly don't like Worther's Originals, and they like rubbish music with all bleeps in it, and lots of swearing in it.

All of my brood have been told to refer to them as the Wire !

As an aside my Great Grandfather was a wire puller.

With our massive links in the pass to the Greenalls family and with the amount of breweries that were once in the town and surrounding area. That the nickname was never Brewers.

I think they have always had that nickname as well. Could be wrong though.

Good chance the nickname will die out for them though - all it takes is for all 3 of their fans to die in a hotair balloon accident.

You're cruising for a

I even refer to Warrington (the place) as Wire. WTID

Except Wigan and Saints. Oh and Salford.







And Huddersfield.








Not forgetting the two Hulls....

Hull FC were the Hull Sharks at the start of SL era were they not?

Bazinga,

and although it is not an animal, Hudds are the giants, and before that they were the Sheffield Eagles.

That's why I said 'almost every', smart . Plus, you just got served by Biff!



EDIT: I said a-r-s-e, not 'booty'. Stupid swear filter making me look incestuous...

Well he accounted for 2 out of 5 I suppose....

well wigan adopted the warriors and salford the ty i mean city reds, and well st helens just went with saints and that stupid flaming stick figure with a halo and rugby ball.

5/5

Not animals though, I'm afraid.

ah but saints have got st bernard!

Really? how shocking, i can't believe i never mentioned it before.




I wish you would have been there to teach me what was an animal and what isn't.

I don't want to start tension but why did you mention it then?

You were just saying 'I know this isn't relevant but I can name all the teams in super league'

We were referring to teams named after animals and wigan, sts and huddersfield aren't. It is that simple! No 5/5 rubbish. You might has well have told us what you had for dinner.
