I've seen a few people say that there are no direct trains between Warrington and St. Helens.

There is a train from bank quay to lea green within walking distance of the ground?

First Vespid_Wire and most importantly...We are not in Cheshire.
It is an adopted ceremonial county. Warrington does however fall within the traditional boundary of Lancashire and so does Manchester.

However...Old Trafford football ground sits upon the boundary of Trafford borough and Salford and not Manchester. None of these are in Greater Manchester because that no longer exists. Greater Manchester exist only in law as to tie up legal affairs that the unitary authorities have together, one being the very profitable Manchester Airport, which they all take a slice in profits!

Sorry to be pedantic here but the traditional Cheshire boundary is the River Mersey.

Wilderspool, our ancestral home is SOUTH of this boundary IN CHESHIRE.

We are a CHESHIRE club originating from the southern half of a majority LANCASHIRE town.

The town of Warrington has always been in Lancashire. Villages south of the Mersey were incorporated within the borough of Warrington later an do indeed fall under the traditional boundary of Cheshire. However Wilderspool is the ground where the team bearing the Name of Warrington which is in Lancashire chose to play their games. Latchford and Wilderspool however were taken within the boundary of Lancashire a long time ago.

Why are we arguing about geography? I wish I hadn't have mentioned it now!

Can we all just agree that Leeds owl's post was ridiculous and move on?

Most disappointing. When I read the title of the thread I thought it was about erectile disfunction.
At my age you develop a morbid interest in such things.

Best place to park ? Will be St Helens earlier in the day so even any "if you can get there early enough" places might work.

Don't worry there is a little blue pill to cure that

We're going to outnumber Leeds fans apparently. Hardly surprising but still good to hear! www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... _cup_semi/

It seems the stats favour Wire.
In over a 100 years of RL Leeds have never beaten Warrington in any semifinal play off.
Out of our final meetings with Leeds it's currently 10 a piece.

Except September 11th 2011 - Semi final play offs.
Warrington Wolves 24 Leeds Rhinos 26

Been trying to forget that one thanks

Doesnt count. It wasnt a semi-final, it was a "qualifying semi final".

In the days of sanity before 'try fotr mine' and 'forward packs,' this is what used to be known as a quarter final.

Like I said. In a semi.
100 years of form.

apart from that one obviously

That's what is was a 1/4 final.

Am I the only one who's more nervous for this semi final than any of the others?

I'm nervous MO, but, in an excited way, big game, big potential prize.

It's a we 'have nothing to lose game' for me, as if we do get beat I don't think that think that our season will spiral into oblivion. Perhaps one positive thing about the way we have played this season and the defeats that we have suffered is that we may have learned to cope with them and with youngsters blooded and our 'big guns' coming back I'm excited about our prospects either way. Lose and we can bounce back win and we can build momentum with the squad choices and cover that we have. I'm looking at it through my P&B sunnies of course, we could end up with n'ewt.

Let's get behind the team on Saturday, all bar three other teams would love to be in our position NTW!!

I think it's because the play offs are a finals series, culminating with a grand final.

I feel the same, looking forward to it but just want it to be over. Love the big game feeling.

If I'm ever more nervous than for the 2009 semi-final then an ambulance will be required.

I can't believe we will slip up like we did last year. The players will still remember that and use it as motivation.

Let's get our trophy back.

No drums or instruments allowed in tomorrow.

Great news for some, bad news for others.

Leeds will be most affected as their "band" is the only thing that gets them going. We should be able to cope without easily.
