First game I remember was against Leeds in about 74/75.
I remember it because I'd heard of Leeds United and so said I wanted Leeds to win. My father and older brother didn't bring me for a few weeks after that.
It would have been 77/78 by the time I actually knew what was going on.
That period set my expectations dangerously high for entertainment in later years.

26th December 1979 we won away at Cas 26-13.

26th December 1980 we lost at home to Cas 8-23. Does this help?

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

Cheers, was deffo at BV and I thought we lost so must have been Boxing Day 1980.

1974 Wakey v Leeds think Joe Bonner Wakey scrum half scored under the post to win us the match

Could it have been 3rd Oct 1973? Lost 13-9.

All the kids sat on a little white wall on the western terrace packet of crisps and bottle of pop and dad saying to me don't move from there,the smell of gemerline brilliant

Batley away 1956. Neil Fox debut game.

Doh, yeah that's the one, I thought it was '73 as the tours I thought were every four years, I went four back from the '78 tour.

Germolene that's the smell I remember not wintergreen
