A night match at knowsley road, there were about fifteen Northern fans including the old lass who used to go to every match with her dad on a moterbike & sidecar. The Saints fans were in hysterics as in her "unique" way she urged the Northern to "Play up boys, you can still do it", just as Coslett was kicking his 14th conversion.

Another one I remember was the traditional New Year derby against Castleford, must have been about 1976.

Castleford had Norton, Lloyd, Hartley, Lockwood etc - but we had designs on being a decent team at the time. Freezing cold, and I mean - REALLY cold - New Years Day, semi-frozen pitch and a a bit of snow falling

Resukt : Northern 0 Castleford 33

It took a while recover from that.....

I was only a young one that horrible day in Bolton.

All I can remember about the game is my dad and his mate Steve playing hell with the referee over something.

We watched the second half in a pub near the ground along with some other Northern supporters.

I see where you get it from

We were 0-35 down at half time and lucky to have 0. The ref was an irrelevence that day. I've never seen us get so utterly outclassed (mind you I bet some of our away performances in the 97 WCC might rival it!).

I can just imagine the scenehttp://www.onlygoodmovies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mini-me.jpg" >
