| Oldham away September 4th 1988
Import predictably ET but , Glanville, what a man.
I don't know why but the hilarity of Tattersfields cpacity expanding as the concrete went off, then a few pints in the workies under the stands, Audley Pennant charging about , happy days.

| 1964 on Saturday afternoon with my younger brother we sneeked in throught a loose panel in the ginnel along side the Western Terrace...when it had a wooden picket fence at the front.
Leeds where getting beat with about 5 minutes to go when Leeds scored to pull the game out of the fire...nothing changes much
Fav Import Dave Furner
Station Road when Atkinson rounded Billy Boston with an in and out swerve to send us the Wembley 1968 IIRC

| Away at Salford, sometime during the 82-83 season (I think - might have been the season before though). First proper memory is a cup semi against Widnes (at Swinton?), getting literally picked up and carried by the crowd pouring out of the stadium. Favourite import probably ET, he was the first out and out "hero" player I had. Tony Currie, at a similar time, was great too. I have no pleasant memories of going to Central Park (was typoically down south for the weekend the one time we had a moment of glory there!), but I do miss it.

| I was just thinking what a cracking night it would be for the annual pre-season trip to Mclaren Field for the A.N.Other-fest against Bramley. Would've been around this time of year too!!! Doesn't seem 20 years since John Gallagher was making debut in front of a full house at the Barley Mow!!

Gallagher? Meh. Most of the crowd turned out to see Eddie Rombo.

| First Rhinos game was the world club challenge game against Adelaide Rams with that Paul Sterling try. One game and I was hooked.
Best import - Marc Glanville, never did the fancy stuff but what a work horse up the middle.
Fave old ground was Wilderspool. No other ground had a snooker club that took a whole side of a stadium and still create an atmosphere.
