Is that her with the booming voice?icon_smile.gif

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.

Remember her very well too....hadn't seen her for years until late last season and then she suddenly re-appeared at the side of us down at the front of the Northstand

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 .

Can't really remember. It was 1962!

Yeah, its an odd combination, bellowing at a rugby match in the Queens plummy English

everybody else shouts Wakey, nobody but nobody shouts Trinity, like Brian Blessed in a skirt

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

I remember her reply to my brother was "i suppose you'd rather me be at home doing the puddings" once as he snapped at her once after hearing her say " do you know the offside rule at all referee" for the 100 time in her matrionic voice

Started watching in 1960 but the first I really remember was when we played Wigan. I think it would be 2nd round of CC in 1961. Went with my dad and we lost 2-0. Apparently Jan Prinsloo had a golden opportunity to score but took the wrong option on the outside and was tackled into touch.. 28,000 in the ground that day!

Mine was Challenge Cup final at Wembley in 1960. Been hooked ever since.

"Feline"s dad used to take us to A-team games on a Saturday afternoon back in the '70's and we used to volunteer to do the scoreboard (the massive old wooden structure that used to be at the back of the Northstand), and we then got told that the old guy who used to do the scoreboard for the first team was retiring, so we got promoted to the first team and have been going ever since

My first game was 1972/73 it was against Salford (I think)
But sometime after that I remember going more regular. I would go with my dad and we would be stood in the old south stand .always remember lots of lads stood at the back of the stand dressed in platforms and flares with scarfs tied round their wrists or in a knot round necks singing songs like.... T.R.I.N.I.T.Y trinity trinity...Your going home in a St. John's ambulance .. And sometimes half would chant Rangers and the other Celtic! ..
