My father took me the 1967 Australian's tour match. Australia won 16-7. Stand-off Willie Aspinall scored the Wire try. I was then hooked me and friend where the only two Wire fans to catch the bus from Lymm for two or three years but in then the numbers started to grow.

Mine was Bradford home 2007 and I have only missed one home game since. I first moved to Warrington in 2000 when I was posted here with the Army in2000. I was a football fan then so I never went to watch the rugby. However on leaving the army we moved back to Warrington where I got the bug after my first game. Me, my wife & two children are season ticket holders since the 2008 season. It's brilliant.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



Rochdale at home in the early 70s when we had already won the league/championship, whatever it was called. I remember the players running out and chucking toffees into the Fletch.

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4729.jpg



Mine was about 1967 against Swinton.

Nice to see Mick Hennighan and Billy Aspinall getting a mention, two of my heros as a kid.

1993 against Halifax at home when I was 10, a night game where the floodlights went out for over 20 minutes. I had been going to Warrington Town games before with my neighbours but that night they invited me to the Rugby.

I still loved the game even though it was cold and we were standing around in the dark for a bit of the night. I bought a season ticket for £10 the day after and have been buying a season ticket ever since, I never have gone back to watch Warrington Town.

Hardly knew RL existed until I started secondary school, football was all I cared about back then.

So it would have been Workington at home, can't remember the year probably 1994 I think.

The match that really got me hooked on RL was New Zealand v Tonga in the 1995 World Cup.

Think mine was the same actually, it's the oldest one I can remember as I remember there was an offer on for that game. I was only about 6 though so it's tiiime ago for me.
Unlike yourself though I've known about League for as long as I can remember, my oldest memories of playing in the garden were my 3rd or 4th bday I think, I didn't get taught the proper rules until 7ish though icon_wink.gif
Mine were then pretty sp until 96ish because my dad wouldn't take me as I was always grounded...always played though as a kid

First game was a night game vs Feverstone must have been about 1990. I won a trip with school to get to see the players pre game and then watch the game. Was 8/9 and didn't have a clue what was going on.

I didnt return til me and a mate got free tickets to the Workington game at w'spool in about 94 and i think we actually lost 19-18 or something. We then got more free tickets to Halifax and Im pretty sure we lost again and the lights went.. But didnt put me off and the following year I was a Wolfpacker and never looked back.

Thank god for freebies at school.
