so Giants haven't won at Knowsley Road since 1878. But how many times have they actually played there since then?



I seem to recall Giants (Barracudas ?) being in the old first division a couple of times in the 80's but certainly not every year.



Does any statto out there know ?

I read some were that we hadn't won in our last 16 visits to kr.

Thats pushing it





Ive been over a few times in cup games in ther 80's and 90's but we never won

1962 c.cup

Not in the 80's i dont think , think it was 77/78 last time before Super League - better wait for our more 'senior' fans who may remember better



Ivor, Crackers ???????

We won promotion in 76 so you are correct.



However, I cannot remember how long we remained in the 1st Division - was it only 1 season?

67-68 cup won 5-0 tomlinson try wallace goal



78-79 won 16-15

tries Hooson

Leathley

Senior

Goals Andy Wilson 3 and a DG to win it!!



hope that helps!

Crackers

that 68 game, i was talking to a colleague about that the other day and he was saying how his wife and her dad chose to sit in the stand and he and his brother ( i think) chose to stand in the open end, because of the volume of people standing up he couldn't see the only try but his missus and her dad did

thought it was a great story myself.

Tonight made it 16 times since November 1978. You have had a few close games and a few dustings.



The first time I saw you at KR was in the 1968 Challenge Cup when you won 5-0 after scoring under the posts in the 1st minute

i will now have never seen fartown win at knowsley road,we've come close a few times but ultimately it will now have failed me

but at least we dont have to go to that ground with that record hanging over us anymore
