| First experience of watching Wakefield was my Dad taking me for the last 15 minutes of a match in the mid/late 80s when you could just walk in the open gates 15 minutes from the end. He didn't take me for the whole game as it would have been a waste of his money had I not enjoyed it!
The 'stewards to exits' call which later explained the freebie last 15 minutes.
My dad taking me to watch the training evenings on Thursdays:
Playing Jimmy Cricket at pool one Thursday evening when the club was Corrigan's.
Running round the field during an actual training session and passing the ball with Kevin Harcombe.
Getting some life tips from the legendary Ray Price.
Tracey Lazenby heading a high bomb.
Being the first person to ever ask for Chris Perry's autograph when he came over from Oz. He was so shocked, he had to ask my dad if I was joking!
The woman in the long blue coat ''Come ooooon Trinitaaaaay!''
Ronnie Gibbs getting knocked out and staggering all over the field like Bambi.
Did John Glancy ever score a try?
Andy Mason's solo warm-ups.
Andy Wilson getting his ball bag ripped!
One supporter shouting on during a game against Leeds ''make the ba$tard$ bleeeeed!''.
Our second half displays in the 2004 season at fortress Belle Vue. You just knew we were going to win.
The million pound game against Cas. It was never in doubt, I was more nervous at Odsal the week before!

| My first ever memory of Belle Vue was of sliding down the handrail on the steps behind the South stand and my dad telling me off for it!
Amongst the many other things I've done at the club, I built all the internal walls of the new dressing rooms under the Coach house. I was ably assisted by Richard Pell who has just got the Gateshead job, he did the labouring I did the skillfull bit, twas ever thus!

| Watching the great players of the past - Neil Fox, 'Rocky' Turner, John Wilkinson, Harold Poynton, Gert Coetzer, And Mason, Mike Lampkowski, Andy Mason, George Ballantyne, Wally Lewis.
As a youngester walking with my dad under the West stand and seeing the bar packed with old men smoking pipes.
Watching the players leave the dressing rooms in St. Catherine's School and running across the yard to get to the pitch.
Having to queue at the turnstiles for over 30 mins to get into the ground.
Listening to my aunt telling the story of when she was an extra in the ground when they filmed This Sporting Life.

| Wakey Vs Australia
The drubbing of Highfield (the only time I've thought we might get triple figures) including 13 goals for Mark Conway.
and last but certainly not least....
Watching Karl Kirkpatrick get chased off the pitch by an "angry mob"

| In no particular order
Bill Ashurst scoring V Bradford Agbrigg Rd end with a chip over the top from 20 meters out re gathering on the full and swan diving under the posts.
Geoff Bagnall on his A team debut putting his team mate away with a behind the back pass Cats bar corner (I knew from that moment he could play).
Getting a bag of chips on the way home from Chippy Woods.
Alan Hunte scoring a length of the field try for our A team before signing for Saints (not a bad decision considering).
The dummy by John Wells that led to his try against Saints/Wigan (not sure which) 5000 people took it.
Million Pound Game what a night.
Game against Australia it was pouring down.
Game against Widnes in the fog and queuing up at the old shop for a replay voucher.
Stewards to exits.
That Co mon Trinity woman.
The Saints game the week after the death of Leon Walker and the moments before kick off.
The Wigan game start of 87 season (ish) Julian Russell winning try. We went bonkers. I have never known BV so full. Oh and the hammering they gave us a few years earlier under Trevor Bailey.
Top six season under McNally. We used to blow teams away in the last 30 minutes.
Standing alongside the old tunnel and seeing Wally Lewis run out along side Peter Sterling both making their debuts (we lost).
The bar under the old stand and the radio broardcasting box in front of it.
Running on the pitch asking for Toppo’s tie ups.
The famous “we like it hard” Tommo comment on Boot’s and All.
I’m sure I well think of some more!

| Favorite memories, because they've both long since passed away, are of going to games with my dad and auntie:
The steward at our block of the east stand, who knew everyone by name, except me.
Mint Imperials at half time.
Missing nearly all the tries in the corner of the east stand because I was too small to see past the grown-ups when they got out of their seats.
Getting dirty looks from the WAGS (Mrs Topliss and Mrs Morgan in particular) and a clip round the lug 'ole from the old man when I called the ref a blind get.
Eddie Waring tapping on the glass pane of the press box and telling me to "watch the game", after I'd spent most of the second half of a game against Dewsbury watching him write his match report (Dewsbury then were Huddersfield now - we couldn't buy a win, and were getting gubbed on this particular occasion too).
Watching the players troop down the tunnel to the old changing rooms.
The smell of cigars on Boxing Day.
and, and , and...
I'm wellin up here

| Anyone remember the little pie stand that was inside the East Stand?
It's probably my memory playing tricks on me but I think those pies were the best I ever tasted.
