Scuse my ignorance, ErasknowallaboutWireimus.....but can you tell me

just why your lot are known as "Wire" ????

Goes way back when the team nickname was The Wire Pullers, wire drawing was

one of the main industries in Warrington, ie Rylands Wire, Peter Stubs, The

Firth, Lockers, sadly the industry is all but dead , but Peter Stubs is

still going, I worked there for a while as a Furnaceman, my dad worked there

at the same time and my Grandad worked there for 60 years man and boy.The

official title is The Wolves but to the fans they are still The Wire.
