Wigan was actually the second home game that season. We played Warrington a couple of weeks earlier, and that was the first ever match that my dad took me to. It was Steve Ella's debut and we went on to win 14-10. We beat Wire, Leeds, Wigan, Hull and one other team who I can't remember in the first five games? 28 years later it's still a family affair, with my mum, my wife and my own two kids going to most games together.

If could pick I'd take Wembley over the Grand Final every day of the week.

I can't remember my first game either but Trevor Skerrett was no 10, I reckon it was 1980.
The first game that I actually remember parts of the gameplay was against Wigin, it was the first game of a season where Wakey had been promoted from the 2nd division, a win was not anticipated.....but happens...lol....dunno what year that was.

How comes we don't have that "most memorable game" spin off thread going on ?

Thinking about it now, its quite telling that although there have been a few memorable games in recent years, all mine...the ones that stick in my mind, are from donkeys years back.


edit, oh wait....WTID

Can't remember the opposition, but it was ar BV in 1963.

So who used to try and stand on the raised concrete plynth with the handrail round it under the floodlight tower........next to the large dark haired woman, old enough to be my mam, who's shoutin gerrem onside, and the referees a w****** from whistle to whistle ??

First game attended was in 1956 but can't remember against whom. One of the early games I can recall was against Workington town when Trinity second row Les Chamberlain broke his leg. You could hear his bone snap around the ground. I still cringe today when I recall this incident. Another early memory was my uncle lifting me up to the level of the "dugouts" next to the old west stand for Tom Van Vollenhoven to sign my programme. He wasn't playing that day.

That lady still attends but stands in a different position these days. Not quite as vocal as she used to be nowadays...

Is that the "Come on Trinity" woman?

Wow yeah I remember her very well. She used to take some stick as well but they never shut her up! Feels like years since I last saw or perhaps heard her?

It is

Although I've been to half a dozen games this season, I haven't seen her for years

Is that her with the booming voice?:)

Can't remember my first game or year or what year but it was early 70s when my uncle Tiger Handforth was playing and used to stand at side of old dugout's getting as much to eat and drink out of bags of my Nana's and aunties bags enough to feed an army those were the days

That was a great game for your first up. I took a couple of colleagues to that game for the first time - it was an awesome day!
