highs...

wembley.
beating the pies 47-38 or something, for some reason i remember it as a balmy summers evening
leeds in the play-offs, even tho when the dg went over i landed awkwardly on the terraces and sprained my ankle meaning using the clutch on the way home was a tad painful.
first game at the hj/last game at wilderspool
the comeback against bradford

lows...

saints!!!
wakey away, we got beat 50 odd i think, nat wood stole the ball about 2 yards out and scored near the end, just an awful end to a crappy day...
hudds at home!
salford away, david 'bambi' kidwell having a complete 'mare...
the whole steve anderson era and his '3 year plan'...
bradford at home, 80-12?? or something equally preposterous...

No chance there was 300 Warrington fans there that day. I'd guess about 100 perhaps 150 tops.

Interesting that no one has mentioned 1st game at the HJ / Last game at Wilderspool in the 'Highs'

Low: first game at HJ

Any knowsley road game

Joey debut game, but I remember it more for Nat Woods speech in tears at the end of the game.

I liked the first game of 2003, Huddersfield away. Brent Grose made himself an instant hero intercepting a wayward Stanley Gene pass no more than 20 yard from his own posts, it was insanely adventurous. Same game, Appo made a break length of the field, somehow he got held up over the line, it was a sign of things to come. The brilliant thing about that season was the number of full lengthers Appo scored, he was such a threat from anywhere.

2003 was good actually, just behind 2005 for me. Loved the whole 'leaving Wilderspool with dignity', awesome.

Still hard to fathom Appo's fall from grace isn't it? What a waste. I took my dear lady wife to the last match at W'pool vs Wakey - her first ever game. She's still a fan now but every match since has been a bit of an anticlimax for her up until the Wigan semi last season...

I agree, 100 seems generous.

One of the clearest memories for me was that Darren Burns 'ave it' moment against Castleford.

24-25 in the CC at hull kr, briers DG in golden point?

Highs not mentioned by anyone else
1. Fax away in 02, the game that kept us up with Benny chundering on the touchline at the start of the 2nd half.
2. Moz v Crabtree at McGalpine last season.
3. Moz v Crabtree (2) at Wembley.
4. Darren Burns comedy tries in 02.
5. *** **** going for a hotdog, with Stevie G's comments "I know you're excited but you can't do that"
6. Every time Wigan have visited the HJ, including their semi v Cats.
7. Graham Appo length of field winner at Widnes in 03 - him waving at Shane Millard with my two mates only Wire shirts in sea of white in North Stand.
8. Matt King debut try v Hull straight from a kick off in 08.
9. Kevin Penny having a dream end to 07 with 13 in 12.
10. The number of tries my mate has missed over the last 10 years by nipping for a pint/to the toilet only to return saying "have I missed anything?"

a few lows
1. Cunningham's last second winner.
2. The abuse hurled at a number of players & Steve Anderson at the end of his regime - as bad as he was, inexcusable to abuse families.
3. Home play-off v Hull, another crashing end to hopes & dreams.
