A real blast from the past... First two Bradford games that I ever attended.

Leigh blew it that season losing their last match 11 - 8 to whom I forget to let Northern in... I think !

Leigh lost 12-11 to Salford at the Willows on the Sunday meaning that we had won the Championship for the second year.

Leigh beat Warrington 11-4 at Hilton Park in front of 7,475 in their final game my book tells me.

Drummond with the sole try of the game, Woods with 4/6.

Re: Bradford Northern 38-18 Hull FC

Dennis Trotter did score three with Derek Parker and David Redfearn also getting two tries each.

Keith Mumby also scored a try and kicked 7 goals.

Lee Crooks was playing.

Good memory

He was mate.

From the thread over on Total RL.

Just to show are average crowds during the 80/81/82 seasons.

Average Crowd 1980/1981

Bradford Northern 6,105 (High 9,565 vs Hull FC in round 30) (Low 5,136 vs Barrow in round 10)

Average Crowd 1981/1982

Bradford Northern 6,006 (High 9,269 vs Hull FC in round 22) (Low 3,957 vs Fulham in round 34)

The Warry game finished just as we were passing the ball along the line from a scrum. When the crowd started celebrating the players threw the ball away and started hugging each other. A great moment. And the Hull fans were extremely generous.
