Sometime in the mid fifties.
Remember names such as Eric Cooper on the wing.
Don Frogget, always seemed to be going off injured.
Ken Trail and his booming long passes.
Frank Mortimer at full back, then Don Metcalfe.
Of course biggest memory of all was the young Neil Fox.
My dad being a Sharlstoner and involved in schoolboy coaching had tracked Neils career and was always adamant that he was heading for the top.

Thanks for that Fordy, it was a sunny day and quite warm so it must have been the John Player Trophy match for my first Trinity game. A few of my faves over the years: Sheffield in the Yorkshire Cup final, beating Wigans team of superstars when Steve Ella was majestic, beating Leeds at home when we were miles behind and Michael Jackson scored the winning try late on and Leeds again a couple of seasons ago when Tronc played and Broughy starred, these are just a few of many that stick in the memory, I must check out this website with all the past results, it sounds amazing.

We were losing at half time and didn't look in it. Then came back and stole it with two late tries. Think we won 14-12? Atmosphere was great that day and one of my favourite matches.

Would that be Lyndsey Rotherforth?

We also had Tracey Lazenby who played a range of positions including stand off. I never forget hearing that he was seen knocking back a couple of whiskeys in the bar at Oldham prior to coming out half an hour later to play at The Watersheedings. I can't confirm that, but heard it from a few people who claimed to have seen it.

think it was against leeds

mine was ccfinal v widnes and andy fletcher scored our only try infront of me

Got that on DVD,awful game,I was there my one and only Wakey CC final!

It most certainly was

Boxing Day or New Year's Day away at Cas.
80-81, I remember the bovril more than the game.

so we won by a drop goal



bovril



I'd be lying if I could remember my first game, what I do remember though is my dad carrying a old wooden orange box for me to stand on and walking through the passage way where the bar was to switch ends

it always seemed packed

I think all clubs have "where were you when Kennedy got shot" games. By that I mean games that attract a lot of interested people and due to the teams performance on the day hook them.

One such game was Wakefield's defeat of the all conquering Wigan team at the start of the 1988 -89 season. A newly promoted Trinity team didn't just beat Wigan they destroyed them. I reckon that game hooked a fair few. There have been others, the 2006 Cas game, Hull in 2004 but for some reason that game sticks in many peoples minds. That was my first game.

I know for definate the first game I went to was the first home game of the 2004 season, can't say I remember who we were playing, but I remember me and my dad were both hooked from there!

I remember thinking after that first season how much we would improve the season afterwards... oh blind ambition!!!
