Eight days to go to one of the most anticipated cup matches in recent years,problem is Warrington still cant sell the tickets of a 13000 capacity ground.
Wigan where given a total of app 3000 tickets and they have about 250 left,Warington have more than that left hence the earth shattering campaingn to sell the remaining tickets (Rupert Murdoch Watch Your Back)
On the main road into Warrington from Wigan they have erected two giant signs,please see the following.
Sign No 1 shows in more than life size a picture of Adrian Morley with the cup,the caption says "IF YOU WANT IT COME AND GET IT"
Sign No 2 is the best,it shows a larger than life Westwood ( please dont let your kids see this) and below it says " WE'VE GOT THE PRIZE, THEV'E GOT THE PIES".
The cup you can joke about,but when you bring the pies into it you are in trouble.
Wigans Noisy Neighbours.

Souths, it was my idea to try and get a bit of a response from the Wire fans that would put a bit of life into this site and sometimes the things I put down dont allways make that much sense (even to me).
What I was saying was that a lot of opposistion fans are of the opinion that if a pie shop was burning down in Wigan the locals would save the pies first before sending for the Fire Brigade. (Priorities)

I suppose the wire fans are just a bit blase......"not the cup again...thats come round quick ".
Its obviously important to the Wigan fans, whose grandparents will have told them about The Big day out.

I havent got tickets yet and not sure I will, yeah its a massive game and all that but its on the box, plus with the stadium being in the centre of the town, you can sit in a pub on a comfy chair, something better to wat than a rollover hotdog and watered down booze and watch it whilst still be involved with all the banter outside the stadium, I know thats a really poor thing to say but its true, especially when you have little money, you can get a meal and a bevvy or two for the cost of standing up, I am making this worse arent I lol, the thing is, we're skint and you have to make the most out of your pennies. If I can afford to go, I will get a ticket
