Cowboy cars.

walking as slow as you could over the main road towards central park so youd hold the traffic up that little bit longer.....haha

Watching rugby league, as opposed to "super" league.

scrum halves dominating every aspect of play for 80 minutes..

if we are talking about the memories of peoples youth and assume there are many people in their fortys on here, then how about GB beating australia in a test series.

clearly for those that have been to them is the grounds that are no longer around eg watersheddings, thrum hall, central park etc.

i only ever sneaked into sheddings once...and i only did it because my dad bet me i could'nt


he took my season ticket off me,emptied my pockets so i had no money to pay to get in and bet me £5 that i would'nt get in....at the time ORLFC had just sold our training pitch and houses where being built on it,so i found myself a ladder and got over the wall between the clubhouse and the grayhound track, i walked out from behind a tree,pretending to zip up my fly to make it llo like i'd just been for a pee


easiest £5 i ever made


other sheddings memories...

climbing up the floodlights to "get a better view" and laying ontop of the concrete dugouts to watch the game...

and i once throw a snowball at martin offiah

tattersfield, fartown, borough park and of course the blouevarde

Going into the Riverside after a Lancs Cup tie in the mid-eighties and finding it full of Wigan supporters who made Victor Meldrew look like one of the Chuckle brothers - and Wigan had won! Oh, and they complained about us making too much noise

Players playing in metal toe capped boots

Digging up the turf with your heel to make a kicking mound.

The changing of ends at half time

Players who looked about 50

The old types of shoulder pads

Banging on the cage as opposing players came out or left the field at Boulevard.

no Geordie/London/Welsh clubs full of Aussies.
Those were the days.

Hmmm

Newcastle

Acton

Treherbert

But not that many aussies agreed

As a Leigh fan going to Watershedings and seeing that wooden double decker stand. I was amazed by it. We thought it was a cowboy fort.

Things I remember from the first game at Odsal were being stood by the tunnel and trying to get the players to high-five me when they came on to the pitch, running down the very empty terraces when Northern scored and the cold. It was a friday night game in about 1994 against Cas.
