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!

i also remember this match, it was one of my earliest memories although my dad had been taking me also from 1960 when i was just 11 years old. we used to walk all the way down to Belle Vue from Eastmoor. i remember the massive crowd and me not been very tall been passed over the shoulders of the crowd to a position at the front as i couldn't see a thing at the back. great days and some great memories of the fantastic team from the early 60's.

Both of you can't have got it wrong so it must be me, there can't be too many games where we lost 2-0 but the memory I have is that it was St Helens and Alex Murphy who kicked us to death on a very very windy day, and although we were playing towards the scoreboard end with the wind in the second half they managed to keep us out, was that the same game or am I mixed up and got the wrong game which would obviously be at at another time.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

The 2 - 0 was indeed 1961, probably at the age of 12 the first time I can remember going to Belle Vue. As we were coming out of the ground a Wakey speccie asked my dad had he seen the ball. My dad said "no" The Wakey fan said "no me neither" not for the last half hour. The game was played under the old rules the Wigan forwards effectively stuck it up their jumper. McTigue was outstanding that day, the best prop forward I have ever seen, hands like a halfback but one tough man.
The date was 25th Feb 1961 and was a 2nd round Challenge Cup tie (I've just looked it up) I vaguely remember the ground being absolutely rammed full. Was that the record attendance there?

A year later Wakey got their revenge in a 5 - 4 win (by daylight robbery) Frankie Parr broke blind side from a scrum to score only to have been ruled to be in touch, which he never was. He still moans about it now. :D There was a famous photo about at the time showing Ken Trail should we say "advising" the touch judge!!

I was also there when Billy Boston played his last ever game for Wigan in 1968 when Wakey fans gave Billy a fantastic ovation at the end of the game.

The attendance a year later, was also, I believe 28,000.
I understand the record attendance at BV was for a CC semi final and was 37,000! where the heck all those people stood I don't know.

I used to watch Trin as a kid and remember getting knocked out of a cup game by Warrington, and we had to move out of the stand where the Benadorm flats now stand. Probably around 1976 or 77.

Watched them (nearly every home game) since around March 1994 and Bright Sodje debut against Saints.

First went down to Belle Vue in 1960 but don't ask me to remember who we were playing! I don't remember going to the Wigan 2-0 game but I do remember a game against Huddersfield where the score was 3-0 I think. This was played in snow with an orange ball and the 3 that Hudds scored was a penalty and a drop. The best nil for me was when we beat Widnes (or was it Wigan - my memory!) 8-0 and Bill Ashurst had a fantastic game. Anybody else remember that?

2 emotions here:

1 is that I feel young - yeah!
2 is that I'm not happy about it as I missed the best players and teams at BV. Boo.

My first memory is not of RL, but of American Football. My dad was a VP in the old wooden stand and I guess I went to some I don't remember, perhaps with my sister who was a fan but now lives in Toronto - Wolfpack time! I used to with an old friend back in the late 70's. It was cold, poorly attended and dismal, until we put the 79 squad together! :D
