FORM IS TEMPORARY......CLASS IS PERMANENT
7th MAY 1921
CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL RESULT
HEADINGLEY STADIUM
HULL FC 16 HULL KR 14
CHAMPIONES CHAMPIONES OLE OLE OLE
THE INDEPENDANT: Today the east, which contains the biggest council estate in Europe, is poor, a place of high unemployment and low expectation. The west, which has the city centre and the university, is posh and prosperous.:15535.jpg |

2 for me.
1997 away at Hudd when we won promotion. Only around 7000 in the ground but the atmosphere in our stand was fantastic, couldnt speak for a week after the game.
Away at saints in 2006? First time we'd won at Knowsley road since Jesus was a kid .Both teams having a drop goal contest before Paul Cooke finally puts one over with 2 mins left. Cue scenes of delerium!

That's the 'Get up Fielden' one I think. I was in the Walkabout in Shepherd's Bush after watching Latics away at QPR and there was just me and one other guy going ape.  |

So basically any game with a bit of meaning to it, not the endless round of friendlies the RFL have created now!
The most exciting moment in the last two NL grand finals was the fire alarm going off - and my team won that one, to no avail

That was a great night. Also remember GB v Australia at Eastlands being a cracker too. |

Was just going to post that. That was an amazing atmosphere, the best I've ever experienced.
That game always stands out to me. |

The last ever game at Central Park was very very special.
Never had beer thrown all over me as many times in one afternoon before.

I was about to list this one as my non-HKr game, me and a few mates went over and it was fantastic, only time I have ever shouted for Wigan.
For KR it has to be the premiership match v Widnes days after they beat us at Wembley

For me it was the Wigan Manly game - under lights and 37,000 crammed into Central Park. A night I will never forget
Although my most vivid memory is my first ever live game of RL which was Wigan Saints at Central Park in the '94 Lancashire Cup final and Mal Meninga tore Wigan to pieces. I had never seen a human being as big as Meninga before and he terrified me from the stands!

Meninga is only just 6 ft tall.
Are people in Wigan particularly small? |

I prefer the atmosphere at grounds at sea level. It gets a bit thin at altitude. 21% oxygen all the way for me.

Don't be so arguementititve Barry, he said big not tall. Mal Meninga was 6ft, but he was 18st too. A massive bloke. |
