just reading through the 'first match' topic, thought id start this on favourite memories.

i started watching around 98 when i was 8

mine have the be, the walk over bridgefoot bridge going to a game and the buzz in the air.

my first season ticket and top

seeing the players in the village hotel every week and getting my top signed by alfie, nikau, gee and everyone else i could get to.

The big wins over Bradford bring alot of joy also the Cup win last year meant alot.

Tend to forget with Bradford being gash these days but they really should be the team I hate the most behind Saints.

Heavy defeats in the league, Play-off defeat plus the 2 semi finals.

*sticks on highlights of last game*

Horrible, went on the coach from outside KFC. That was the last time I've seen bog roll thrown down the terracing. I was only 11 at the time, I think the score was about 10-6 with bob jackson scoring.

Some others
Phil Blake's debut v Widnes (Lancs Cup semi '85) won us the game with, surprise, surprise, a chip'n'chase try
Beating Widnes again 4 years later in Lancs Cup Semi, a week after Wids won WCC
5th Rnd Regal Trophy (Stains away) 93, Shellford and Mackey ON FIRE
Baz Richards (on the field for about 20 secs and scores a try ) New Years Day, away Wigan 91 (even Dead Dog Duffy scored too (i think)
Pat Poasa's runs
Any Mark Roberts try
Any Des Drummond 'tackle' (legalised violence)
Rowland Phillips putting fingers to his lips and going "sssshhhhhhh" at the end of any winning game, and then milking the applause
Langer's signing announcement on my 30th birthday (that helped a HORRIBLE hangover)

That was the third round. Bob Jackson had an absolute blinder that day. It was unbelievably cold, and then it started pouring down at half-time. Come to think of it I've never ever been to Odsal and been warm.
