Just to clear the matter up our first Super league game was against Cas in 1997 and Coussons did indeed score the only points of the game. The crowd wasn't too bad either 5,726 turned out.

I remember that Phil Coussins try mainly thinking 'hes the double of buzz lightyear'

Bobbie Goulding getting sent off v Wakefield and 2003 and kissing the badge has he walked off. Never been done since I think.

Beating Wigan in 2001 with about 10 first teamers missing

Karl Harrison on crutches after a charity football game

And who could forget a pre-season friendly revealing Mike Hancock's beard.

Being an oldie compared to some on here my memories date back to

Watching a Floodlight Trophy game in the driving snow, mid week game possibly a Tuesday, don't remember much more than wearing 2 pairs of socks and still being cold.

Watching Salford V the Aussie Tourists they played the game ahead of the Ashes as a warm up because we were so good.

More recent
The drop goal against Wigan when Matty Johns failed with a couple attempts and the admission by a Wigan fan writing the game report that he left before the end!


The worst?

Game V Leeds when Chris Sanderson died, that game still haunts me, I have never felt that unnerving quiet on any occasion since.

Just been at home thinking off more great Willows memories, I remember also after beating Wigan in the CC playing rugby with Cliff Eccles in the little foyer room just up the stairs before you come into the variety centre. We were playing with a plastic coke bottle. With Cliff pretending to be the sticks I took a conversion only for for the bottle to hit him square in the mush and bust his lip. They were the days!!!



Being Mascot against Widnes at home in 1994 I think.

But the one thing that really stands out above all is the spine tingling feeling and the rush of excitement/adrenaline when you wake up on "game day". The whole day from meeting your family and friends and watching Salford is a just feeling like no other. Especially when as a kid we used to play on Sunday waking up, going to play myself in the morning then a mad dash to the Inn of Good Hope for dinner time then onto the Willows. I just don't think it will feel same at the new stadium hopefully that will come with time.

Just thought of the most mind blowing experience.

The minutes silence for Eric the Reddy V's Wigan, when it's someone close to you it is more moving.

The fact that within seconds of the kick off Wigan scored made me chuckle as Eric would have turned the radiuo of there and then.

Quote Chico="Chico" Or what about the Leeds match in 1999 that John Foran and Steve O'Neill took charge of after Greg's sacking. A great effort despite narrow loss, but as memorable for the ball hitting Steve O'Neill right on his noggin, sending his headset flying.'" One of my favourite games that. 38-6 down with 20 mins left, Leeds fans lording it up in the shed, before Salford pulled it back to 30-38. Was it a midweek game? Crowd was 3455, with the majority from Leeds. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... &YEAR=1999 Even Makin scored. Other random memories: Gooning at the club end at an 18s game with a various forum members a couple of years back as Salford seemed to have pipped Bradford to a playoff spot by scoring in the 79th minute to go 12-10 up. Bradford scored from the restart and won 16-12. The first year we were in superleague where for the only time I can remember it was fashionable to watch Salford. 20 of us from school taking over the 68 bus from Walkden and the left side of the shed every home game.

Aaron Moule's try after about 15 seconds straight from the kick off against Hull in '06.

The Easter weekend win against Warrington a couple of years ago when Luke Adamson scored a try late in the game after we faked to go for a drop goal, only for Westwood to score with about a minute left and Hicks missed the easy conversion which would have got them the draw.

GB BARLA v Australian Aborigines - an 80 minute brawl. Brilliant

An Adelaide Rams (I think, could have been the cowboys?) player having his finger relocated at the side of the pitch, being sick with the pain and then running back on to resume playing. I'd taken a few mates with me for their first game. The looks on their faces were priceless were worth a thousand words

Me and about 5 others keeping a Red army chant going for about 20 minutes in the middle of a few hundred Saints fans in the section between the shed and the north stand when the Shed was closed for a challenge cup game

Having the biggest banana at a game in the late 80s (what was that all about??)

Canon and Ball, Duncan Norvelle and The Real Thing at a Variety Centre Variety night for Salford fans

Remember the subsequently released inflatable tridents?

Not at The Willows but one of my all-time favourite memories. First major final I saw Salford in.

Some unforgettable moments for me:

Watching Chris Hesketh and Keith Fielding parading the Championship Trophy around prior to our last game of the season in 75/76 - I think (the picture featured in the youtube clip that was loaded up last week);

Going to Salford v Saints around the same time and the Willows was so packed that they'd run out of programmes to sell;

Getting severely told off by my Dad for making an insensitive remark when leaving the ground after the Chris Sanderson game had been abandoned (in my defence I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time I think);

The debut of Jonathan Davies for Widnes where Ronnie Smith gave him a 'welcome to Rugby League' hit or three;

The Wigan CC match;

The Saints match in 2005, quite possibly the most intense game of Rugby League I've ever witnessed where the only difference was a piece of individual brilliance by Jamie Lyon; and

many, many more..........Goodbye Old Girl, I'll miss you.
