i was thinking today about times gone by and what reminded me of going to the rugby in my youth ,the main one being the boiling hot tomato soup at half time at Fartown in the late 80's - 30p a go ,it burned your mouth like hell but was bloody lovely stood on those crumbling terraces with 300 other hardy souls.

so what memory stands out for you - try and keep this serious-ish as it will be interesting to see what fans of different clubs/eras/generations come up with...........away ya go !

Getting in free at half time at the old Craven Park, those were 't days






'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'

Being allowed on the pitch at full time at KR. Being able to dangle your legs over the wall at KR.

The smell of wintergreen

Coming out of wheldon lane after a cold friday night game.
Walking to the bus station and calling off at the chippy and getting a bag of chips with loads of scraps with mushy peas on top of it all.

I was about 12 years old....them were the days.
By heck did them chips taste good when you were freezing to death.

Ahhh the memories.

Watching rugby on a Saturday afternoon.

Bovril.

Blokes walking round the pitch collecting for charity holding the corners of a big sheet that you threw money into.

Fog.

Applauding good play by the opposition.

Toe-end goalkickers.

Unlimited tackles.

Proper scrums.

Fat forwards.

The list is endless.
