talking to one of my mates the other day ,and we got onto the subject of the best salford game ever , i personally feel it was when we put saints out of the challenge cup in the quarters ,i think it was some time in the eighties, he said last season,against cetic at warrington , we all have our favourites , which is yours





KEEP THE FAITH

when we beat wigan in the challenge cup 26 16 think it was in 1996 after they had dominated it for donkies years

YES , THEY HAVENT GOT OVER THAT DEFEAT , THAT WAS THE START OF THERE DEMISE , THEY WAS GETTING BORING , WINNING IT ALL THE TIME , I AM GLAD WE KNOCKED THEM OUT , WASNT THAT GAME ON TELLY ON A SATURDAY , I CAN REMEMBER BEING DRUNK IN THE CLUB AFTER THE GAME AND THE BBC BEING THERE , I THINK WE WERE ON THE NEWS THAT NIGHT








KEEP THE FAITH

it wasn't on the telly, because the bbc thought it would be a walkover, as we were in the 2nd division.

WAS THE GAME AGAINST THEM IN THE JOHN PLAYER CUP ON TELLY I THINK IT WAS A FEW WEEK LATER AND I AM SURE WE BEAT THEM AGAIN ,

This was the best game for me, my heart never raced so much in my life when wilshire got this kick nearly got a broken neck from fans jumpin all over the place www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc7yKFVNG7o&NR=1

You're confusing it with a few seasons earlier, in the Peter Williams & David Cruikshank era, when we beat them in the league (not on TV) and in the Regal Trophy within the space of 3 weeks.

11th February 1996 was without doubt our finest hour since the 70's - ask any fan of another side, they all loved that one. I was working in Leeds at the time and after a few celebratory beers in Salford got a lift back to Leeds and arrived at the Skyrack in Headingley at 10:00. As me and a mate walked in, a chorus of 'Salford, Salford' was sung by around 50 lads, most of whom we did not know, but who were Lids & Bradfurd fans who were celebrating themselves. A memorable day indeed.

That & the first Grand Final win against Leigh. Last year, we knew it was all about the franchise. Back then, the whole future of the club depended on that game - I can honestly say I was dreading the match, just in case.

And finally, last Bank Holiday Monday. Hangover's galore, but all in a good cause

Wigan pos best since the 70's most memorable Halifax at Old Trafford

Beating Wigan in the Challenge Cup, after they had remained undeafeated in 9 years in the comp.

We were massive underdogs and I am sure Mr Andy Gregory was mamnger at the time

Same as for me really gotta be knocking Wigan out of the CC or winning the Premiership against Halifax at OT.

Has to be the 26-16 win over Wigan in the challenge cup for me too. The atmosphere in the shed was electric! My other fav was beating St Helens 46-26 (I think) with one Gary Broadbent scoring a hat trick. One other stand out game (even though we played crap - nothing new I know) was playing London Bronco's in the cup at Old Kingstonian's ground, We should have lost that one! But we scored two quick tries in the last two minutes.. I've never seen Salford fans so ecstatic after the final whistle

I'm definitely showing my age here, but in the 70s Leigh had a long winning streak, and Alex Murphy let it be known that he wouldn't get his hair cut until they got beaten. A few weeks later we beat them 15-5 at the Willows, and Murphy got stabbed in the head by a woman running at him with a pair of scissors (remember boys and girls, never run with a pair of scissors).

Ah, happy days...

I think it was in that season where Billy Burgess scored a try in the corner at Wilderspool to nick it against Warrington. Fantastic.

Has to be beating Wigan in the challenge cup.

Wigan 1996. I might just put the video of it on later

Wigan in 96, followed by Leeds away the other week never thought I'd see us win there!!

Castleford away 2004 2nd time beating Leeds at Headingley runs it close though.

For drama the Celtic game.
Knocking wigan out of the cup, for me a close second.
But the best game for me has to be the Centenary game against Widnes, 16 all draw, Fantastic crowd,great atmosphere and an absolutely superb game of rugby!!!

i remember wire away in 2001. It was my first away game. We won 39 14 and Pinkney got one of the best tries Ive ever seen. That was my best

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

Wigan in the cup all day everyday and twice on Sundays. Still got the video and watch it regularly. Strangest thing though was seeing the M10 bus go past he ground while the game was on. I thought time had stood still at the time.

i think all those games are good but i enjoyed the first game of the 06 season beating wire at the HJ with no fit halves i think it set our season up
had we not won there i think the season may have had a different outcome

for me i'd say rather the final against celtic last season or leeds on easter monday!

Mine too

For me I reckon it has to be Salford v Halifax in the 2nd division Premiership final at old trafford in 1991, a fantastic game with an amazing atmosphere and a massive following of Salford fans, a great victory (first time I'd witnessed Salford lift a trophy at a final), a wonderful sunny day and a great punch-up at the end! That game will live with me forever.

The only game that will ever emulate that is a trip to Wembley (win or lose)!
