I don't recall any game at the HJ eclipsing many that were played with that middle to later 80s side of Warrington.
Truly a great period in the club's history - it saw the average crowd in the 85/86 season at Wilderspool of 3,743 increase to the eye-watering figure of 5,225 average by the end of the decade.
Many great days just like the defeat to Hunslet that followed the great New Year's Day game with Wigan. It was such consistency of performance that saw the 3rd place finish of that season followed by 6th, 8th, 11th, 8th and 9th finishes in the following seasons. How anybody could suggest that finishing top of the table in 2016 and reaching both the season's finals might be considered successful against the beautiful rugby played in that period is beyond belief.
Funny how stark statistics sometimes play havoc compared with people's actually memories hey?
