Reserves to play at Warrington

[rushscored4]

From the Offal:

Liverpool have announced that the reserve team will play all their home league matches for the 2007/08 season at Warrington Wolves' Halliwell Jones stadium.

This brings to an end their three year spell playing at Wrexham's Racecourse ground, and the opportunity to play in Warrington gives Liverpool fans in the area a chance to see some of the club's most promising youngsters on show.

Reds' reserve team boss Gary Ablett is looking forward to the move to Warrington and told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I am delighted that the Halliwell Jones Stadium has been chosen as the venue for our 'home' fixtures for the coming season.

"The facilities there are fantastic and everyone associated with Warrington Wolves has made us really welcome.

"However, I would also like to again thank Wrexham Football Club for all their help and co-operation with our fixtures at The Racecourse Ground and take this opportunity to wish them well for the coming season."

Reserve team captain Jack Hobbs said: "I can't wait for the new season to start and we are looking forward to playing in Warrington.

"Hopefully we will get some decent crowds here and the stadium looks really nice. The pitch looks in great condition and I can't wait to get out there and play."

The reserve team fixtures are due out next Wednesday so look out for first details on Liverpoolfc.tv.

And here's a funny story from the Warrington Guardian about a Manc from Salford being forced to wear a Liverpool shirt for the photoshoot!!

LIKE a true professional, boyhood Manchester United fan Adrian Morley smiled for the cameras in a Liverpool shirt this week.

Morley was representing Warrington Wolves in a photoshoot to announce that Liverpool's reserve team will play their matches at The Halliwell Jones Stadium in the 2007/08 season.

Wolves skipper and Liverpool fan Lee Briers seemed to enjoy the occasion but there was much amusement when Morley donned the red of Liverpool rather than Manchester.

Morley, who hails from Salford, has previously described himself as a 'mad United nut' as a kid and was unlikely to be tempted into an impromptu rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone.

When asked what it felt like to be a Liverpool fan for the day, he replied: "Not great actually!"

Manc suffers in silence...

That is all...

Very easy - if you've got a car!

The Wolves' stadium is about a 25 - 30 minute drive from Sale but longer from Alty as the best way is down the M62. It's on the former Tetley Brewery site on Winwick Road, north of the town centre and not too far from IKEA so it's quite easy to get to from Liverpool and Manchester.

You can also easily get there from both cities by train...
