| 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
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.

Could be the same one as me. I know it was Nov 5th, sat in the Bevan, not sue what year. John Schuster kicked us to death that night. Thats all i remember really. Lots of "and the two points added by John Schuster" . . .

| Can't remember exact game, my mother used to take me, it would have been about 1958/59. In those days, they allowed young children to sit on benches inside the wall along the touchline for the 2nd half. Just about remember Brian Bevan's last game. I was stood in the corner where he scored his try.

| Think it was about 1996 V Oldham Bears. Asked this giant (well to me) on the sidelines for his Autograph having no idea who he was. Later found out it was Mark Forster. And the rest is history!
