Ok, just nabbed from the Hull forum and probably been done on here loads of times, but favourite or most memorable away day moments you've had following Leeds...

I have a couple for different reasons...

1) Early 90's, Featherstone away, rarely made it to away games in those days and my Dad drove me and a mate to Post Office Road through the thickest fog I have ever witnessed in my life. We must have been a mile from the ground when it was announced on the radio that the game had been called off.

IIRC, we lost the "replayed" match 21-20, to a last minute Deryck Fox drop goal, and ironically it was a beautifully sunny day that it took place

2) Saints away when we were stood in the away end on a ridiculously sunny day where the sun was setting behind the stand, and with Saints on the attack, Keith Senior suddenly emerged from the shadows and fed Karl Pratt to finish off an absolute demolition job of Saints on their own turf. Turns out a kick through by Saints had hit the crosssbar then rebounded onto someones nogging or summat. Classic.

Anyone...?

No its not an obsession but the best away day was at the Galfarm in 03 when Leeds beat St Helens. it’s the only game that actually claimed my voice.

Had lots of memorable away days . Some of them involve getting back to the coach laughing and singing and celebrating a win . People already at , or on the coach wondering why we are so happy .
Well it was because we stayed until the final whistle and saw a strong final few minutes where our team rescued a victory from the jaws of a defeat .

Priceless

I was in line with Sinny's kick and the posts.... bloody awesome that was.


Iv seen GB away if that counts. 30k at SFS to see us get bum ****** by the Aussies in 02. Was a great day though that started at the Unanderra Hotel in Wollongong and finished there too with a few pubs in kings X thrown inbetween too

A couple of years ago and the 30-0 at Odsal.

I was so happy for weeks after that

How could I ever forget the sunny afternoon at the stoop ?
Just been sat and had the Rhinos badge painted on back of my head in the bit where they do the kids face-painting..
I found a seat in the stands and asked Diane the coach steward to put sun cream on my neck.. At this point things got a little confused and i had the whole tub poured over my head . People were walking past and helping themselves to the excess . I believe at least one person ( Kev B ?) ended up with more than his share of factor 30 in his beer .

Drubbing Wigan 19-0 at Central Park.

Sadly newer fans will think there's nothing special about beating Wigan on their own turf, but back then it was pretty special.

Am I right in recalling Bentley scoring a belter of a try???

wigan away in 98 was a great night.

The last few away days at Old Trafford haven't been bad, or are they classed as home now?

I'll second that....a fantastic night, with a very patched up team and yes Bentos did score a cracker that night!

Was that when brad godden got off 1 knee and threw about 3 wigan player's off him to score the winning try??

In no particular order:

1. Odslum in the CC replay (I'm fecked if I can remember the year) when Kevin Squire dived over from an inch in the last minute to win it. Memorable because of my mate thinking he had broken his arm celebrating and the mess I made in the toilets of a Headrow Pizza establishment later in the evening.

2. Certral Park, the famous 19-0 win when Bentos went around everyone. When he did that my mate dropped his trousers to the Wigan fans. Probably my only ever pitch invasion as well. Followed by a mess in the toilets of a curry house in Headingley.

3. Thrum Hall for another CC game back in the 80's when the pitch was frozen solid in one corner and we had a snowball fight with the Fax fans at half time.

same here, Panasonic Lower. Had never celebrated that much due to a kick before




My fave away days, our drubbing of Wigan last season was superb but the daddy of all away games has to be St Helens

Err I'll go for when I was mascot years and years ago at Belle View and running on with Maskell etc. Good day was that and i have the picture of me on the half way with the captains and ref etc in my bedroom.

Another memorable one would have to be the CC final defeat to Hull. Hired a mini bus and ok we lost but i could hardly stand the next day form the laughing on the mini bus there and back

Had a few good times at Headingley over the years

1) Beating you 56-18 at Headingley in 1996
2) Beating you 32-16 at Headingley in 1997
3) Beating you 33-22 at Headingley in 1998 with 12 men




4) Beating you 44-2 at Headingley in 2000 (how forward was the pass that saw McAvoy score the try)






5) Beating you 34-6 at Headingley in 2001
6) Beating you 18-16 at Headingley in 2003 (Leon Pryce with the try with just 2 minutes left on the clock).




7) Beating you 26-12 at Headingley in the 2004 play-offs


Beating you 42-10 at Headingley in 2005 (Hape with a hatrick)
9) Beating you 38-14 at Headingley in 2007 (Did you see the Volcano errupt down the line







).

Headingley is something of a easy picking ground for the Bulls, long may it continue

You know what, one and three probably feature on my list there too. Missed the second one as I was ill with measles at the time.

IIRC the Squire try at Odsal came after Trevor Clark tried to play the ball to himself near the line and score - it just popped up into Squire's hands at dummy half and he piled through the ruck to score.

Abiding memory of the Thrum Hall game was Tony Currie putting on an absolute masterclass in treacherous conditions. IIRC wasn't the main terrace side completely frozen and bare of grass while the other side was perfectly playable?

Not sure of the year, but I can remember a cracking Premiership game at Wilderspool where we looked to have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to an inspired Wire comeback (Greg Mackey?), Schoey potted a late drop to level it up and we won the replay IIRC. Des Drummond got sent off in one of the games for stamping on someone.

After the 13-13 draw at Headingley Leeds won the reply at Odsal 12-10 on the 15th March 1984.

The other Leeds try scorer was Paul Prendiville in the first half. The Kevin Squire try brought us level but it was the excellent angled goal by David Creasser that won the game and sent the Rooley Lane end bonkers.... again.



After the 18-18 draw at Wilderspool it was the 29th April 1992 back at Headingley for a 22-8 win. I remember hearing the Wire fans pleading with Gary Mercer not to leave. Next season he was at Headingley.

Let's not mention the next away game that followed though.

I really enjoyed Wigan away in 2006. We were 18-0 down at half time and we had to put up with a load of abuse from the local scallies down the bottom of the home stand.

We came back and won 24-18 (iirc) that was a great night out.

That's how I remember it. It was glass from about 40 metres to the try line and about 25 metres in in the bottom right from the main terrace. I think only once or twice the whole game did anyone venture that way.
My main memory was a stunning run from Carl Gibson up the far touchline, when he'd beaten 3 or 4 defenders he had a clear run, only to be hauled down from behind by prop Geoff "Wild Man" Robinson.
I also remember David Ward was like a granite block in the middle of the park that day. His feet were pobably frozen to the ground.

John Holmes scored the dodgiest try I've ever seen in the first game (apart from David Laws effort of course).

All made up for by 30 seconds in Cardiff.....

Gansongate



And still the top result if you search for Leeds rhinos on that website with videos on it

I think a "Guffaaawww" is in order.

Guffaw.

2003 Semi against Saints. what a game
