It was on Sky, or whatever it was called back then. I remember watching the tape. Hanley might have played, but I've slept since then, and tend to forget lots of stuff when I sleep.

Cas Vs Leeds, Last year at ze jungle. 4 idiots dressed as Elvis. Top day.

Warrington away = top draw banter.

Saints away, allways a good match. (ali in 2005 a personal highlight)

Harlequins = Fast becoming my personal fave.

3rd November 1991. Hanley was playing for Leeds that season but wasn't needed that night at Central Park.

My favourite was one of Peter Fox's last games in charge when we went to Leigh (date TVOC?). We had a banner, "Fox get out!" and stood opposite the dugouts in the first half. In the second half I was laid on top of the away dugout screaming at Fox to "Get out!".

Not sure of the dates on these, but 2 away days stand out for me :

First was away at Cas in the Premiership when Schoey scored late to win the game, after being sin binned earlier when he had a try disallowed.

The second was Warrington away, I think it was in the John Gallagher days, when Leeds had made a poor start to the season. No one gave them a chance and considering how many supporters were there from Leeds (not many), it showed.

Anyhow, we won 22-10, I'm pretty sure Simon Irving was playing too, and because there weren't that many fans there we seemed to all huddle together singing out hearts out. It was the first time my Mum had driven me to an away game so it was like travelling in luxury, and even though we took a wrong turn and ended up at Manchester Airport on the way back it didn't matter !!!

Were you on the Wally Arnold bus? Did you have the banner up outside the ground as the team arrived? I remember that day, we had the good grace to wait till the Leeds team had performed like spanners before we went to the dugout and gave him grief. That's the only time I've ever done that, I've never been as f****d off with a team.

How did that all work out for you?

They're funny aren't they. Forward passes arent allowed but they only lost becuase they didnt get away with a forward pass.

What was all the more remarkable was Leeds were missing about 6 first teamers that night IIRC.

Nothing like getting behind the team eh?

I remember being on the same coach as Loz and chums afew times the year we first won SL. One of them had like a fit on the way back from, I think it was Wigan, no idea why that springs to mind. I always like Saints away me. Might go to a game soon. Might even go on Sunday. Get meself in the Skyrack and that. Yeah maaaaan.

remember this occuring at salford too

fox was a strange as alex murphy would have been,leeds being the only big club he didn't manage;

the number of coaches tried between 1980 & 1999 it's no wonder Murray wins the popularity contests

Good job the hetherington out banners of 96/97 were ignored

Whatever became of that young second rower - Matt Shaw? Was he either from or ended up at York?

Surprised no one has mentioned the Sunday Sport girls at Watersheddings yet.

We had a young hooker called mick shaw is that who you mean???

Yes Irving was playing, IIRC kicked a goal from the touchline. Gallagher scored his first try for us that day. You're right about the low turnout from us as we had made an awful start but we all went mental when Gallagher scored.

Another memorable trip to Warrington was near the end of the 88-89 season. We won 10-8 in a monsoon. I remember us scoring the best try I have ever seen in such apalling conditions. A 90 metre team effort finished by Paul Delaney, I think. He was involved in the move somehwere anyway. John Woods missed about 3 penalty goals in last 5-10 mins to level the game.

No.

He means the young second rower from York, Matt Shaw.

Hull FC in the Regal Trophy in about 92. Schofield got the winning try, picking up a loose ball near his own posts and going the length of the field. That shut the codheads up who had been giving him non stop abuse as usual. More memorable for me as it was the first time I'd seen us win at the Boulevard. Think it was also the game when Ellery got his jaw smashed to pieces by Andy Dannatt.

The only time THAT chant has ever worked!

You're right, a classic away day moment.

No Paul Dixon, Carl Gibson, Ellery Hanley, Dave Heron, Cavill Heugh, Craig Innes, Colin Maskill, and Shaun Wane.



It was the 23rd November 1986, Leeds lost 20 points to 8 in front of a paltry 2,500 crowd. Fox hung on for three more games before being sacked for Christmas.



23rd September 1990. Tries from John Gallagher, Paul Dixon and Carl Gibson with 5 goals from simon Irving.



Correct it was the same game. 23rd November 1991, won 12-4 with Leeds' other try coming from Gary Divorty and two goals added by Simon Irving again.

The away game at Halifax when Ronnie got into a fight with the two Halifax mascots.

And the companion game at Saint Helens when he gave St Bernanrd a good whack on the nose.

He stopped coming to certain away games not long after........

That's the one. I remember the "Fox Out" boys being there with the banner as the team arrived. I was more optamistic, I waited till after one of the worst games I'd ever seen before throwing my teddy out. It's the only time I've ever gone to the tunnel to hurl abuse at the team and the coach. I'm not proud.

Does 44-2 and 28-18 come to mind?
