So how long have you been watching then ?

Just a pup, since 1985.

So you would have missed out on the hard times! Huyton, Runcorn highfield, Bramley, springfield borough, Trafford borough, and going to Keighley and watching us get thumped! Well i just hope your still watching if we hit hard times again!

Seen us win at Runcorn, seen us get well beaten at home by Keighley, when Peter Roe was player coach, been to Bramley and seen us get beat. As for Springfield and Trafford, never went but I was watching Trin when they were about in the late 80's early 90's.
I hope you are not trying to talk down to me with your superior knowledge?

No mate seems you've done the business ! Did'nt think you would have remembered what i would call the real hard times.
Sounds like you stick with trin thick and thin.

Thats funny he played for us in the 1979 challenge cup final! And you only started watching in 85

We've had a few good' uns from whitehaven over the years.

Might have been about '87. Got the program somewhere.
Think my biggest regret was that my brother started watching Trin a couple of years before me and asked if I wanted to come to Halifax to see Wally Lewis's last game? Unfortunately I said, 'what for?'
Mistakes like that stay with you forever!

My first season was 1985 slalom lager div 2 too, swapping ends walking under the old west stand at half time. Went with my Dad who was always telling me and still does now how good it was watching the great Trin team of the 60s. Caught the bug & have had it ever since, striving to see a Trin team as good as the 60s team.

Up the Trin

My first season was 1980-81, a veteran on here compared to some.

Going back briefly to my initial post, the difference of around £30 for a lower season ticket price for around 1500 season tickets comes out at around £45k. To make that back for a cheaper ticket you would need to sell around a further 175 memberships to make the same.

Just think if all those extra bought a drink, shirt etc for extra revenue.

I do agree a newer stadium could also increase ticket sales, though without that money tree and as long as we continue to be ignored by the council, that dream seems as far away as ever.

Yep, I know Wally was with us in 83-84, my brother asked me then.

Alan Mac Left us to play for oldham. along with Toppo who at the time were a up and coming team, i think they were his last club, the last i know he was running a post office in widnes along time before 87

I remember that match. We were terrible and it was embarrassing.
