WARRINGTON Borough Council staff dressed in primrose and blue in a show of support for the Wolves ahead of their Challenge Cup final clash at Wembley on Saturday.
All those who took part made a donation to the Mayor’s charities – Warrington Charities Trust, St Joseph’s Family Centre and BLESMA (British Limbless Ex Service Men’s Association).
If the Wolves win in London there will be a homecoming parade held in the town on Sunday afternoon.
The parade will start at 4pm at Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub when the team will return to home soil. There they will board an open top bus and pause for speeches and a photo opportunity with the Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Steve Wright.
The bus will then travel along the A49 with the players and the cup to The Halliwell Jones Stadium where it will again pause for a few minutes for a photo opportunity.
It will then make its way through the town centre, past the bus interchange, along Scotland Road, Academy Way, Barbauld Street, Wilson Patten Street, Winmarleigh Street and finally will turn onto Sankey Street and into the Town Hall.
The parade is expected to take approximately 45-60 minutes to reach the town hall where the gathered crowds will see the Mayor officially welcome the team.
Once at the town hall the players, coaching staff and club directors will have an official photograph taken before joining the Mayor and Mayoress of Warrington and other distinguished guests for a civic reception in the town hall.
Win or lose, a bank holiday fun day organised by LiveWire will be held at Orford Park on Sunday afternoon featuring fairground rides and displays and demonstrations by the Wolves Foundation.
