Going into the Riverside after a Lancs Cup tie in the mid-eighties and finding it full of Wigan supporters who made Victor Meldrew look like one of the Chuckle brothers - and Wigan had won! Oh, and they complained about us making too much noise

Yes, it's nice that the football team lend you their ground in the summer. BV may be a dump but at least we own it.

Players playing in metal toe capped boots

Digging up the turf with your heel to make a kicking mound.

The changing of ends at half time

Players who looked about 50

The old types of shoulder pads

Banging on the cage as opposing players came out or left the field at Boulevard.

As a Leigh fan going to Watershedings and seeing that wooden double decker stand. I was amazed by it. We thought it was a cowboy fort.

Things I remember from the first game at Odsal were being stood by the tunnel and trying to get the players to high-five me when they came on to the pitch, running down the very empty terraces when Northern scored and the cold. It was a friday night game in about 1994 against Cas.
