The first game I ever attendant was due more to the pubs shutting on a Sunday afternoon you could get a beer under the old stand after and during the game so I was carted along from under my mums feet for a few hrs then back home just before opening time.
I remember the smell of wintergreen was over powering Fletcher probably got stretchered off he did in those days and we played Salford who wore a red shirt with a big S on it for a badge in case they forgot they had a huge coloured forward called Colin Dixon and the rest is history

First went down to Belle Vue in 1960 but don't ask me to remember who we were playing! I don't remember going to the Wigan 2-0 game but I do remember a game against Huddersfield where the score was 3-0 I think. This was played in snow with an orange ball and the 3 that Hudds scored was a penalty and a drop. The best nil for me was when we beat Widnes (or was it Wigan - my memory!) 8-0 and Bill Ashurst had a fantastic game. Anybody else remember that?

In them days a drop goal was two points

Correct. So must have been a try. Told you I had a poor memory!

2 emotions here:

1 is that I feel young - yeah!
2 is that I'm not happy about it as I missed the best players and teams at BV. Boo.

My first memory is not of RL, but of American Football. My dad was a VP in the old wooden stand and I guess I went to some I don't remember, perhaps with my sister who was a fan but now lives in Toronto - Wolfpack time! I used to with an old friend back in the late 70's. It was cold, poorly attended and dismal, until we put the 79 squad together!

Ah 79!! When we went to all the away games because thrashing everyone at home had become boring
