The game that got me into rugby league was the Halifax v Saints Challenge cup final 87 I think, watched it on tv because my uncle + cousin had gone and been hooked on the game since.
Started going to Warrington games in the early 90s with a mate of my dads (my mum + dad stopped going in the nid 70s) and not looked back since. First game was Widnes away (the boxing day game with the fire in the main stand at half time.).
Got talked into it by some mates at school. My first game was V Leeds in 1986 when Sir Les played with a cast on his arm. I'm currently in my 22nd consecutive year as a season ticket holder.... on that note I've got a game to get too.....
Quote: Bobby_Peru "Think it was 78 or 79, Penketh South junior school were given a load of free tickets...downhill ever since!
do you remember the free "tea room" vouchers given out in schools in the 70's, gave access to the old wooden stand?
In 1991 a mate asked if I fancied going to Australia on holiday the following year, I said yes and then found out we were going to watch Great Britain on Tour so though I'd better start watching to find out what it was about and what the rules where before I went to the other side of the world to watch it - been hooked ever since.
