Wolves fans ready to support
Vikings

Warrington Wolves' Halliwell Jones stadium is bracing itself for a Scandinavian invasion on Thursday (16 June 2005) when it hosts the second semi final of WOMEN'S EURO 2005, with Wolves' fans set to ditch their normal allegiances and get behind the Vikings.

Norway, who have become firm favourites with Wolves' fans having played two group games in the town, take on Sweden, who knocked England out of the tournament.

Wolves' fans took the Norway team to their hearts during the group games, swapping Wolves' traditional white, yellow and blue for Norway's red - a colour more associated with Warrington's rivals Leigh Centurions.

Great Britain and Warrington Wolves' star, Martin Gleeson, said: "It's been amazing to see all the fans wearing red during WOMEN'S EURO 2005, it's normally a colour that our fans avoid because of the club's rivalry with Leigh. It will be interesting to see which team the crowd gets behind on Thursday with Sweden wearing more traditional Warrington Wolves' colours - yellow and blue - or Norway who wear red."

He added: "I'd like to wish both teams the best of luck and I hope they enjoy playing at the Halliwell Jones stadium. I hope that fans from across the north west will come along and get behind the teams."
