| Passing out at Headingly while beating Rovers 12-4 Yorky Cup I think.
Suddenly found myself right next to the dug out with a St Johns geezer, best view I have ever had!
Coming back from Leigh in the middle of a snowstorm after a night match with no windows in the bus!

| I have so many great memories of away games, especially in the early 90's when we went on the club coaches. As has been said, people said The Boulevard was rough but bloody hell I was scared at some of those old grounds. I remember us getting a police escort out of Widnes once and the coppers telling us to remove all colours from view if we didn't want all our windows putting through on the way past the Widnes fans!!
One that always sticks in my mind is a Halifax friendly we went to 6 or so years ago I think. It was bloody freezing, we were trouncing them, so we all started singing random songs. The rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody that day was awesome!!!

| Away trip to Cas when things were always a bit heated between us.
There was a couple of skirmishes on the pitch before a scrum broke apart into a 10 man punch up.
The ref had lost control so he took the teams off during the half for a cool down.
Back on they came and the ref gave the 2 Captains an earful.
At the end of the very first set of 6 after that, a Cas player took out Gary Pearce's standing leg as he kicked the ball down the pitch. Made no attempt at the ball at all.
Cue the longest full on 2 team mass brawl I can recall seeing (apart from Gary who was prone on the floor in serious pain).
he was never the same after that.

| Quote: Mrs Barista "That was excellent. I alse really enjoyed the late comeback at Post Office Road (Vaikona hat-trick I think) giving Daniel Divet grief each time Featherstone were stood under the posts for the conversions. My favourite was the win at Knowsley Road in 2006. Fantastic night.
I loved that game so much I've still got it on VHS if you're interested! Best memory was Paul Sterling's try for me but I loved Vaikona for us. We used to sing his name for almost entire games. I never thought he was as good on the wing for Bradford as he was in the centres for us.

Think it was august as well

| Remember Hull against Cas 92 (i think) semi final at headingley. Don't know why but I felt more gutted after that game then any other I can remember. Think we lost 8-4, we were poor and we had a real chance of making it to Wembley for the 1st time in a quite a while. We never did and we didn't anywhere close to any real silverware for a long time after that. Mind you we'd have never won, Wigan were on there roll of 28 challenge cups on the trot at that stage
Also remember getting ted from behind by someone at half-time as there was a bit of charging across the pitch between fans.
Another game I remember was some time in the late 90's again I think. we'd been removed from the top division due to Super League starting. Went to watch Hull at Bury against swinton, not a bad little ground by any means, but the rugby on display was shocking, it was then I realised "we're s**t!!". Sure a chorus of we're s**t and we know we are was sung many a time that season.
But we still went home and away experiencing the lows allows you to appreciate the highs!!

| Getting to the 1982 replay at Elland Road, our coach driver went on the wrong side of the roadworks and we got in for the kick off unlike many others. At the same game I cracked my head on a barrier when celebrating Crook's try.
Getting bricked at Cas when coaches had to park on that cinder area, similarly at Featherstone - must be the West Yorkshire water !!
Driving all the way to Widnes and to be told - The match is off.
