| Losing. Never seen us win there.
Memory is probably the same as Leyther Matt's. Great try by a depleted Leigh side in a bad tempered game. Must have kept the ball alive for what seemed like an eternity.

You know what, I think you're right. I can't remember ever winning there either. Flatten the place into the ground!

We've won there in my lifetime as a Leigh fan (early 90's I think) but I've never seen us win there.

| Quote ="just_browny"Surprised there aren't many Warrington memories on here.
The famous Kidwell pass.
Alan Hunte scoring a CC QF winning try for us on Grandstand in something like the 8th minute of stoppage time.
Fitzpatrick scoring in front of the Wire fans and giving us the bird.
And a personal one from this season: jumping up so high after a try that I went over the top of the crash barrier and fell straight on my face/knees.
'"
I remember the Alan Hunte try. Still don't know how we won that game.
Can't say I'm too surprised there aren't a lot of recent positive memories of the place from our point of view. Although a personal highlight is that I never stepped into doggy poo walking down Dog Shit Alley.

Good and bad memories of that game. We scored directly from the opening kick off after about 10 seconds and led for most of the game, only for Motu Tony to get given a try by the video ref despite scoring after being held up over the line and the final try looking like Raynor knocked it on!

| Fond memories of the Willows over the years, one of my favourite away grounds.
I'm actually going to the final match on Sunday as I've bagged a corporate ticket.
Any chance they could transfer the away stand roof to Headingley?

| I wish you well for the future, but unfortunately my overriding memory of the Willows is being whacked on the head by a not quite empty coke cup thrown by some scroat in the stand above the terracing behind the sticks.
It's a real traditional RL ground, but after visiting earlier this year for a match against Swinton, you must be happy that you're leaving really?
We have fond memories of Thrum Hall, but the Shay is a far better stadium.

Oh yes. I had a burger from the van, and spent all the next day spewing up.

Absolutely this. Some great craic with the Salford fans over the years (and simply love the "we never win at home and we never win away" song! Real good sports, the Salford fans) but won't miss being pelted with half knackers over the wall by the local scrotes, and my car being attacked by a gang of snotty nosed gluesniffers armed with sticks as I drove away from the ground.

| I remember Donny going to The Willows during the season Salford spent in National League 1 (2003?). The Dons were going through a rough patch at the time and Salford racked up 60+ points. During the match a few Dons fans unveiled a banner which read "We'll Support You Evermore," which was greeted with applause from the Salford fans. It's a moment I'll never forget.

| I've been fortunate enough to visit the Willows quite a few times with Leeds over the past 30 years. I'm going to miss this place more than any other ground that has disappeared over the last 20 years. Cracking place that oozes atmosphere but times do and must change I suppose. Probably my enduring image will be from our last game there when one of the few highlights in a murky year for the Rhinos happened in the delightful try scored by Ryan Hall after two pieces of brilliance from Kallum Watkins and Danny Buderus. I'll miss the club for pre match drinks, the club shop ( where else could you buy a Parramatta shirt for 5 quid!) and finally the Willows site will be forever a corner of Leeds. RIP Chris Sanderson

Lump in the throat stuff when that happened. It was one of those moments that makes you proud to be a rugby league fan.
