| 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...

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

| 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!

| Some game in 1970. We lived on St Catherine Street at the time and my mother worked at the Theatre Club. When there was a night game on, if my dad wanted to go he had to drag all three of us there. My two brothers would mess about but I ended up watching it and enjoying it. By the time we moved to Kettlethorpe when I was six, I was hooked.

| First game was home to York in the 1979/80 season aged 8. Went with my Dad (it was his first Trinity game too) and we sat in the East Stand. Watched Trevor Skerrett get thumped in a tackle by a York player right in front of us......as Skerrett got up from the tackle, a kid near us yelled out "it were number 12 Trevor!", Skerrett turned and gave him a big grin and thumbs up and went off looking for the player in question. I was hooked from that point onwards.

She was at the Dam Inn on Tuesday having a very large carvary! Doesn't look that much older than she did 30 years ago. She still goes and she's still the shouty woman it's just that there is a lot more noise at bv than there used to be.
She's actually quite posh and the little bloke who I assume is the hubby is still there .

Don't think I ever heard her swear either... Very loud and very opinionated... As every good RL fans should be!
Great memory of Belle Vue.... Made me smile
