My dad took me to my first game in 1988, we beat Warrington 14-10. The two things that I remember from that day are Steve Ella and the winger with the girl's name!

Think i was around 5 or 6 when my dad first took me down, so early eighties. Went now and again up to the late eighties when it became a regular chore, sorry, thing. So like so many its the old man to blame!

I was at that game. Toppo had a blinder as I recall. My first game I couldn't honestly say as I was about 7 or 8. The first one i can recall was a RL challenge cup tie v Wigan with a very big crowd about 1971. We won something like 5-2 or 7-5. Went on to lose 10-5 to Leeds in the 3rd round at Headingley, which my Dad also took me to, before they went on to Wembley against Leigh or St Helens depending on whether it was 71 or 72. I became hooked!

Ha ha indeed they were. I was sat dead level as Gary Pearce passed straight to Andy Kelly to intercept and scoot 25 yds for the winner. The thrupney stand were proper miffed!!

And how about your favourite match? If we take the 79 cup semi and 98 grand final as givens, after that I would have to say Cas to stay up...can there ever have been a better atmosphere or such an epic and important moment in the club's history? I think it was literally S or bust for the club potentially that night. Would we ever have got back from a drop down. Possibly not. I'll never forget it as long as I live!

In the late 70's I used to watch Cas and Fev cos I had mates who played for them and I played a bit of lower league stuff myself. First saw Trin cos I went to Whitwood Tech with a lad called Nigel Murray who played for Wakey; am sure they were playing Fev cos one of my other mates was playing for them. Think that would be early 80's. By 83/84 was going regularly; I particularly remember a cup match against Wigan who were full of superstars. As expected, we lost but gave a good account of ourselves.

Dropped out for a few years, early 90's onwards cos was skint but started back again in early 2000's

Favourite game has to be the Cas game to stay up. Originally wasnt going to game, skint etc, but entered a comp in YEP two days before to win pair of tickets, didnt think had a chance. Got a call from YEP sports editor on the Friday before game - "congrats you have won two tickets - pick em up before game.




Took eldest son - his first ever Trinity game. He loved it, especially when players went on lap of honour after game and Korki shook his hand! Had a spell away from going but have really got back into it in last few years - as kids get good cheap deal on season tickets through school - and my adult ticket is great value as well.
Youngest son first game - Hull home about 3/4 years ago, friday night on SKY i think. His school had purchased two season tickets and they had a draw in assembly end of every week and if your name came out you won the tickets - for the main stand - none of this having to stand up malarkey! He won it towards end of school term, and it meant he got the last two home games of the season!

Some great memories there .... I went to many of them!

My first match was Leeds at home in 1972-73, but the first one I remember was Blackpool at home in the Players No.6 Trophy the season after. They won 47-14 and my Dad took me to see Neil Fox play. He dislocated his collarbone and as he was carried off, my Dad said 'savour the moment, youve just seen a superstar, he might never play again'. He ended up playing another 8 years.

Memories, after 1979 was Wally's debut in 1984, Australia in 1990, Wigan at home (25-20 win in 1988) but a big one was an 18-10 away win at Halifax in April 1987. Trevor Bailey was coach and Halifax were the Champions and on their way to Wembley. Trinity were bottom of the league and relegated already. Paul Mallinder was sent off, Johny Lyons was sin brined and beat the Champions away with 11 men

According to the Trinity Programmes site then I guess it was one of these two

1973/74 9 Dec 1973 Home Leigh League 26 8 Won
1974/75 28 Sept 1974 Home Leigh John Player 44 10 Won


What a great source of information that website is!

My father used to tell me my first game was Batley away in 1956, that was Sir Neil's debut game. The first game I really remember was Wembley in 1960 v Hull.

cant remember the year but it was the game that Andy Wilson almost ripped his balls off, I'm guessing it was 1986/87....happy days

First game, York away 1965 with my grandad, lunch in the Griffin and over the road to catch the bus.

Games to remember;
Huddersfield away November 1967, again with grandad but his last game before his death.



Hull away 1981 winning 5-2 to go top of the league

Leeds away Easter Tuesday 2005,only went because I'd been arguing with the wife. We'd had a crap season and a thrashing looked on the cards but guess what; the mighty Trin gave them a hell of a beating.Never mind Cas, they're still the buggers to beat.
