First ever Trinity game? : Fri Dec 02, 2016 11:10 am  
What was the first Trinity game you attended? Mine was against the touring Aussies in (I think) 1974, a midweek game, I seem to remember a player called Schubert, long blonde hair.

I don't actually remember the first game as such, but I if I recall correctly, it was in the 1979-80 season.

I did go to just about every home game, and some of the away games in the 1980-81 season, a memorable game during this season was a 40 points plus drubbing of Leeds. It was 3 points for a try then.

First home game of the 1988/89 season against Wigan which we won against all the odds.

Gave me a false sense of expectation which took a while to shake off.

How embarrassingly young you all are. Lets just say Neil Fox was playing in the 1st game I saw which gives a nice wide scope.

In the backs not the pack!

Cannot remember first game, and unfortunately my father not here to ask.
We lived near Kirkgate station in the 50's and I can remember walking with the crowds to Belle Vue and watching players such as Don Froggett, Eric Cooper, and then of course Big Neil debued mid fifties.If I remember correctly he was 17.

It is "Fifita" not "Fafita"

If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

First game I remember was against Leeds in about 74/75.
I remember it because I'd heard of Leeds United and so said I wanted Leeds to win. My father and older brother didn't bring me for a few weeks after that.
It would have been 77/78 by the time I actually knew what was going on.
That period set my expectations dangerously high for entertainment in later years.
