My gran took me in the late sixties sadly I can't remember the away side but she never missed a game at home and most away, but HKR in the early seventies was the first on my own, a bit of bother in the South stand that day too.

Sure hkr had grid iron type posts at one point in the late 70s

They did yeah as did Hunslet IIRC.

Leigh at home early 70's is the first I recall, a home game a packed crowd with an easy Trinity win by 30 something. I was only 7 0r 8 and dad took me along. I remember Topliss having a cracking game and the big crowd was something to behold. After that I went periodically but remember a cup run of home matches very well and we went to every round, Saints, Hull KR and somebody else could've been Salford? not sure then we lost in the semi. Great memories of growing up in Wakefield.

Neil Fox's 2nd testimonial match - some friends from school were asked by teacher Mr Robinson (known better now as having the first name Brian) and I went along as well. Football was always the sport of choice in my family but I was 15 and getting fed up of it because of the violence at games. Started watching RL around this time and as I was born in Wakefield I had to support them.

Boxing Day 2012 season. Fan ever since.

October 12 1975 home vs Keighley was the first serious one but my big bro took me to a home game against Huddersfield in either spring 68 or 69 I don't know which ... could be either

sometime early in the 60,s,i remember going to odsal 1962 championship final,got absolutley soaked,caught the train home from i think low moor,there were lots of good fullbacks in them days gerry round,frank dyson,ronnie james,bernard ganley,jacky fennel,randell (widnes) and there was one at bramley called wilson a maorie i think he was

Ian Schubert, came to play for Leigh for a season in the mid 80's.

Think it was 83/84 season, Geoff Wraith in charge at home to Keighley, Peter Roe was Keighley player coach.

Got beaten something like 16-37.

Then became a regular the season after under the 'guidance' of Len Casey!

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
