IT is Wembley fever for fans of The Wire today.

From motorway service stations along the route south to Wembley Way and the stadium itself, there’s been primrose and blue everywhere for Warrington Wolves’ Challenge Cup Final appearance against Catalans Dragons at the national stadium.

There is an air of confidence that Steve Price can gain his first piece of silverware in charge of Wolves, but everybody knows the team needs to be at the top of its form.

Woolston-based husband and wife Barry, 57, and Sharon Platt, 51, are full-time fans but have not yet managed to catch The Wire winning at Wembley.

They made the trip when Wolves lost to Hull in the 2016 final.

"It's got to be our year," said Sharon.

Alfie Sherlock, seven, was mascot to Wire skipper Chris Hill when Wolves played at St Helens last month.

The Burtonwood Bulldogs under sevens player is at Wembley with his Wire-supporting family from St Helens.

Dad Alan said he was in the crowds for the past seven Wire cup finals, going back to 1974.

Now he's hoping his son gets to see The Wire win at Wembley for the first time.

Golden Square-based Lifetime volunteers Pauline Bradbury and Vera Murphy made the trip with the over 50s club member Tom Verdon.

They've been supporting Warrington for as long as they can remember.

Sarah Hards, 65, and son Andy Hards, 40, from Grappenhall know that the Wire fans will have it all to do today as well as the team on the pitch.

All rival club supporters will be backing Catalans Dragons, the underdogs and most people's favourite second team.

Andy said: "When you see Wigan fans wearing berets, you know what's in store."

They believe The Wire can do it but Sarah offered a word of caution.

"If Catalans play as well as they did against St Helens it will be very tough."
