The day we lose to Warrington will hurt more than losing to Wigan these days (unless it's a final obviously), as I will never hear the bloody end of it.
110% agree.
Forget N-le-W, i live in Warrington.
99% of my friends are Wire fans, i managed to go through high school to now without losing to them (the last defeat IIRC was April 2001 and i started HS in September 2001). I get so many abusive text messages and stuff when we get beaten by anybody at all let alone the abuse if we ever were beaten by them. It would be so bad it is untrue. If we ever played them in a cup final/ GF / Play-off i think it would be too nerve racking for me to take.
For me the games (or derbies) i look forward to most are:
1. Warrington
2. Leeds
3. Wigan
For me Wigan just isn't important, although gaining importance as one of my best mates at Uni is a pie.
