1987, aged 2. Just about all I know. Oh, I fell asleep on my dad's knee in the 2nd half. Was a common occurance in my early years.

1946 I can't remember who we were playing but I have been a supporter ever since people say that its only a game but to some people it means more than that.

Some of the players around off what I was told at the time were Jack Davies, Dai Davies, Dai Moses, Frank Stirrup and many others.

1967 we had just signed some bloke called Watkins and there was a Tea hut at the top of the north stand, I think the social club had just opened but only stretched half way across the far end, with its new score board.

as smithy says we witnessed the greats of the last 50 years under the stewardship of Brian Snape, we were the team to come and see with the "best variety club in the country" Bob Monkhouse,

can't remember my first game but my dad used to take me when i was a toddler (early 70's). I had no interest whatsoever and just used to run up and down in front of the club (much to my dads annoyance). One of my earliest memories was the Salford scene programme after the fire. Also remember walking to Station Road from our house in School Street on a red hot day to watch us lose to Saints in the Premiership final in 76. I was 8 at the time.
