Inspiral_Carpet Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 A stunning victory away at League One Dewsbury has put Oldham into the Challenge Cup Quarterfinals. Brilliant effort. Hope they get a good draw in the QFs. They may even get on TV. Dewsbury 12 Oldham 58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 ...hope they get a good draw in the QFs. They may even get on TV. Watch us get Leeds - away... Roughyeds would be nice. Hornets did themselves proud last year, although the wheels fell off their season after that. I was watching the Wyre game on Saturday, I thought we were going to blow it in the last 5 minutes - they all looked gassed out in the heat.

Markoasis Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Saints were there for the taking. I thought that was a great game ... but then I went to the Stoop sunday. A try on the hooter made the score line look lattering or Leeds. At 24-4 with 30 mins left it looked all over for Quins. Four tries in 18mins for Quins and it was Leeds on the rack (when was the last time Leeds let in four tries without replying??), in the next Quins attack the ref judged the final pass to the Quins winger Sharp was forward as he strolled over the line (I was in line with the winger and it didn 't look forward). Three minutes left Peacock woke up and scored for Leeds grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Plenty beer and sun though No easy draws for the yeds ... can't see Grandstand choosing a tie with second division club though.

footy68 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You are both correct, the Borough is Wyre (as in the river) and the team were the Wire (as in barbed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozzer Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Wyre. As in the borough. That Warrington is in. Warrington is not in Wyre though - Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde are but it's a fair trek to Warrington from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are both correct, the Borough is Wyre (as in the river) and the team were the Wire (as in barbed). What you talking about ?? Warrington is in Cheshire and it is a unitary authority. It has nothing to do with Wyre! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyre Edited May 31, 2008 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oa_exile Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 My point was that Warrington RLFC's original knickname was WIRE , well it was when I followed League anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiral_Carpet Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 My point was that Warrington RLFC's original knickname was WIRE , well it was when I followed League anyway Wire, Wyre - it all sounds the same to me! According to a Warrington RL fan that I met in a pub in Bristol after the 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate the Season before last, he told me they were known as "Wire" because there used to be a lot of wire making factories in the Town. He had curly hair, a beard, glasses, was drinking Real Ale and looked a bit of a geek so this kind of trivia is probably meat and drink to him. Maddog was there as well but I think she was getting the (non Real) ale in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What the hell is someone in Rugby League doing with a name like Marcus St Claire???? I thought they all had to be called Joe Hecklethump or something like that or they wouldn't be allowed to join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 oh dear....well that was a bit embrassing Good on them for getting that far though. In football there's always that 1/10 or so chance that the part-time minnows will beat the big time pros. Unfortunately, in RL it seems that the power and strength of the pros will just about always win out in the end. That second half must have felt like days to the Oldham players.

Warrington used to be called Wire and still is by many people becuase the town was famous for making wire. They have never been called Wyre though....thats just silly talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
