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

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

My dad took me during the 1979 cup run, think it was against Barrow, anyway we won! But didn't start going regularly until the Wally Lewis season, where I didn't miss a home game until my mate cried off one Sunday. So I sat at home & listened on Radio Leeds to King Wally taking St Helens apart. I never forgave my mate!

1968 a night game v Salford at Belle Vue. I remember they had a big forward called Charlie Bott playing for Salford.

We popped our Trinity cherries together Vasty.
A 25 - 20 win for Trinity against the mighty Wigan, in front of over 8000 fans (the place was full though).
I was hooked instantly

One of the attractions in supporting a club like ours is, the team winning when everything is stacked against us and this hasn't changed in the last 30 years.

I still hope and pray for a Wembley trip to watch Trinity and just for a moment, at Leigh last season, it looked like it might actually happen.

Apparently my dad took me to my first game when I was 4 weeks old (early '84), stuck me in the Silver Cross and wandered down to Belle Vue from Newton Hill stopping for a pint in every pub along the way! No idea who we played, but it's been a life passion ever since
