Them were the days.

The game that got me into rugby league was the Halifax v Saints Challenge cup final 87 I think, watched it on tv because my uncle + cousin had gone and been hooked on the game since.
Started going to Warrington games in the early 90s with a mate of my dads (my mum + dad stopped going in the nid 70s) and not looked back since. First game was Widnes away (the boxing day game with the fire in the main stand at half time.).

Went to the Wolves vs Rhinos match at Wilderspool, playing RL for my primary school in the Miller 7's. Was in the Rodwell season, and we lost the match 40 -34 or something like that. Barely missed a match home or away for the rest of the year and been hooked ever since.

First game was 1975 cup final at wembley when we lost to the chemics. Started going regular the season after that with my dad & brother and have been a season ticket ever since. Now take my 15 year old son whos first season was the last at Wilderspool.
Its been a rollercoaster ride but I wouldnt have missed any of it for all the good, and bad, memories. Wire are the best club in the world & I tell my lad to enjoy what he is seeing at the moment - this is superb stuff compared to some of the sheeite I have watched over the last 30 odd years. Old Trafford & Wembley this year folks - enjoy the ride.

I was invited to Wildespool by a colleague who films the games for Wire training sessions. That was about 1997, remember first game, was against Saints and after went into players bar and met Paul Sculthorpe.
My own kids come now and are part of the 'teenagers' much decried by many on the board, take it from me, they are essentially harmless if fed at meal times.

Was curious to find out what my dad was doing on Sundays... Went with him one day and found the sport I still love to this day =

EDIT - I was 5 when i went to my first game and now I'm 25 =|

Mine is an odd one; the bird I was knocking around with won 'Miss Warrington Rugby League' and we used to get free tickets were she would do the HT draw, serve tea in the Directors Lounge etc (ohh the glamour).

Been going ever since.

Noticed nobody said it was winning the league that got them interested in Warrington!!!!

Did eating pies get you interested in Wigan?

No it shows we are all true fans and not glory hunters!!!

Mine was late eighties/early ninties, cant remember first acutual game but likes of Phil Blake was playing..

Stood top corner of fletch end, pie and peas and a bovil!!

went in place of my dad's mate when he was away (on holiday or business), as he was a season ticket holder.

I don't remember many of the first few games I went. I remember Bradford coming to wilderspool and Bull mania.

parents used to take me from when i was 4 and had season ticket every year as got older remember seperating from the parents and sitting on the old green electricity box at wilderspool and meeting the parents after then when got slightly older progressed to standing with the band then to the corner of the away fans and not looked back since still miss the atmosphere of the "zoo" the banging on the corragated iron you could hear the atmosphere from town centre and the electric walk over the bridge

My deceased father

All i'll say is try playing junior rugby for a team in which all but 2 support wigan, 1 saints lad and me and growing up with the majority of the family Wigan fans, it shows the dedication. There are only 4 people in my HUGE family who support Wire, ME, my little bro, my Gran and my uncle the rest about 40 of em, dirty pies

My first game (as a 10 year old) would be either 1962 or 63 - but just too late to have seen Bevan. I remember standing on the Kop with my dad and uncle, being somewhat confused by the game and its rules - but obviously enjoying something about it, so much so that I've been a regular ever since. However, I did stray once in 1964 when, wearing black and white, I went to watch Widnes beat Hull KR at Wembley. Oh the shame!

I did go to one a while back, but I am not active at the moment as I am in the middle of a training regime to get back into shape. As soon as I do, I'll join back up as I believe my mate is still the society chairman.

The defining game of that season for me, watching us beat Halifax 19-16 in the game that IIRC secured our place in Super League.

By who's accounts, pray tell? :^)

I think it was Castleford at home that actually secured our SL status, wasn't that the game that Darren Burns gave it the full fist pumps after putting the ball out etc. I think the Fax one was a massive result, with Cas making it secure.

The Fax result was a huge one, hence why I may have thought that was the result that saved us. It could very well be the Cas game, but for some reason I just had it in my head that it was the game at the Shay that was the deciding factor.

mine is a bit of different story, my dad (saints fan) was in the RAF so i lived away for the first 1 years of my life.

My grandad on my dads side took me to my first match, saints v oldham bears at KR in 1996 when i was 7.

The next season i started going to wire matches at wilderspool with my uncle using the £1 guardian vouchers before travelling back to cosford on the sunday evening. Been hooked since, when we moved back to warrington, in 99 i got my first season and have had one every year since bar this year cos i am at northumbria uni in newcastle.

bit gutted that i am missing our IMO best season wince i started following us but im kind of happy we are doing so well cos we are always on tele lol

Think it was 78 or 79, Penketh South junior school were given a load of free tickets...downhill ever since!

Yup, knocked ball dead, fist pump and big 'ave it' shout.

That was the result that kept us up.

You still run up and down the terraces through peoples legs, thats why the stewards are always shouting at you!!!

Why is there no "glory seeker" option?

My dad was a big mate of Moggy Palin and I remember going with them both to Wilderspool to watch Wire v Leeds in either 1962 or 1963. It was a night match and I think the score was 2-2. Been some ups and downs over the years, mostly downs but been to 5 Wembley finals and have never wavered in my belief that one day our time will come. Hopefully we have now arrived. Keep the faith.
