It was the 2nd March 1977. I don't remember anything about it as I was 10 days old. Mum couldn't wait any longer - was having withdrawl, especially after having missed Salford's last victory at headingley before this season a couple of weeks previously on the advice of the doctor. I'll ask her if she remembers who it was against.

Quote: redsfan84 "Blimey I'be been going since I could walk, no idea which was my first one. The one that sticks out the most for can't remember who it was we were playing but I remember it was at night and we stood in the corner of the shed and north stand. and we were drawing. Then someone kicked a drop goal for salford and the ball seemed to be in the air for ages. I acn still see the light shining on the ball of the floodlights whist it was turning around in the air. I don't remember much about the game but that kick is still so vivid in my memory'"


Must have been against Sheffield?? Maybe

JJ I am a little more ancient than you,although I don't look it at times but my first ever match at the Willows was in 1946 and I cannot remember who we played but I must have enjoyed what I saw as I have been going ever since.

Did you really miss last friday's match? Never mind I will give you all the details shortly.

1. yes Brian, I know you are an awful lot more ancient than me icon_lol.gif
2. yes Brian, I have been so bloody annoyed at this seasons (mostly) inept performances.... that I haven't been to many games, and it's broke my bloody heart. Combined with the fact that I missed the win @ Headingly, it's been one god awful year for me regarding Salford RLFC icon_exclaim.gif

p.s. my thanks to Ang for grassing me up about missing Friday icon_wink.gif , but all credit to her for telling me last Sundaay that we'd beat Saints icon_eek.gif

Salford Till I Die:32215.jpg



Can't remember who it was against but it was possibly a cup match...went with my bro and dad and I remember thinking what a big guy Neil Baynes so what year that would be? I'm not sure. But after a lull my first game as a hooked/addicted reds fan was ..Wigan at home (1st time) during 2007 season. We lost but I knew I'd be back.

Think it was the 89/90 season for me. Had a free season ticket as went to Hope High at the time. Got no idea who against though. TBH I struggle to remember who we played last week these days icon_lol.gif !!!

Started in The Shed and bar possibly 1/2 games since have never stood anywhere else.

To die of thirst we have no fear. As long as we get Holts' beer!!!!:39789.jpg



My first game was when I was a babe in arms so I don't remember it. I have got some photo's of me with the team in 1976 when I was 2 and next to me is the Championship trophy. Still can't remember that but at least the photo's are nice to look at and dream about. icon_lol.gif

Mine's a bit of strange journey to becoming a Salford Fan. Born and bred in Atherton from a long line of BWFC fans. Went to Leigh Grammar and was introduced by the 'locals' to Leigh v Whitehaven in 1967.

Moved to Wigan in 78 and went with some work mates to Central Park, I then supported Wigan regularly, but over the years got increasingly disallusioned and never went to the JJB.

Started working in Salford in 1997 and already knew Steve McCormack and John Blackburn at the club. My first game was against London Broncos and I think they scored about 50 points against us........but I knew I'd found a new home. I later took my younger daughter against Dewsbury in NL1. She LOVED it!!!!

I've been turning up regularly ever since through thin and thick. My brother is still a Wigan season ticket holder, but I'm proud to call myself a RED...............but as far as football is concerned I'm still White!!!

Bring Back The BIFF ! (Britain & Ireland Frack Free):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7833.jpg



Similer to Rooted Red, I`d been round the house`s a bit before landing at the Willows 20 odd years ago my route included Wire , Trafford Borough and occasional trips to Chorley and Swinton.
My first game watching Salford was Workington away in the 70`s
My son has been attending games on a regular basis for the last 2 seasons .His 1st game was a reserve/ academy friendly v Halifax in 2002.

At the time yes, I believe it went downhill after I left in '94 icon_biggrin.gif. Nothing to do with the amalgamation with Windsor, surely? icon_wink.gif icon_biggrin.gif

There were some positives to come out of the Windsor merger but like most mergers it had its bad points.
