Probably this. Wasn't there a floodlight failure, too.
Add to this, my first ever away game, Leigh, Easter Monday 84
I'd pestered my dad for hours for him to take me, (his Wire watching career ended 20 years before this day). We fielded a real Dad's Army team for this one (I think Derek Finnigan played, but none of the Leigh players would tackle him, as he was 72 at the time, and stunk of wee and Werther's Originals). A certain winger played for Leigh that day, and I can honestly say, I've never heard a few thousand people make so much noise, whenever he touched the ball. DEAFENING.
Also, I've never seen us win @ Wakefield.
The 80 niller, obviously
'89 CCSF
87 Prem Final (scandalous reffing)
and a wet midweek match v Leeds in 89. The only time I've left early. My mates had had enough, and one of them was driving so I had no choice.
