Salford v Castleford, Salford were leading 13-10 when Several hundred youngsters invaded the ptch as Castleford launched an up and under and the ball hit a spectator over the try line.

The referee Billy Thompson had to end the match which was later declared void and a replay ordered, a draw 11-11.

As a result, the RFL amended the rules - still in force today-ensuring the klaxon only sounds at a stoppage in play.

I may have mislead you the rule change has since changed. The game only ends at the next stoppage after the hooter unless there is a kick at goal or a penalty is awarded.

Under the current rules the same thing could actually happen again.

Actually I know more about this than anybody else,

you weren't stood just in front of me ... remember the incident well

Whilst we're on trivia, I need a little help with something. Can anyone give me the scorers from the 1996 Premiership Final v Keighley?. I know we won 19 - 6 and I'm sure Scott Naylor got a try but for the life of me I can't recall or find any others (In my defence I was very unwell and shouldn't have gone to the game, but the Reds in a final, Pfff you think I was missing that

I know what it was!................................A ref once gave Salford a decision, it was a good decision and we won.

And ever since it is in the rule book that all refs at The Willows have to be ar$eholes, not give good decisions and enable Salford to win.



Sorry it just seems like it sometimes.

I ripped the VHS to AVI if you wanted a CD version.

All the questions you have answered so far are correct but for number 3.

There were two in the same game

(Although one of them may not be classed as a legend)

On a similar note which player made his debut against the Australians and went on to play 299 times for the club?

John Butler???

Nope sorry.

(3)Ken Richards not Maurice

(10) Each had to have made at least 250 appearances for Salford

I'll go and get me tea now.

Tony Colloby??

Nope.

Joe Bradbury - but I confess I had to look it up in Darrell Platt's 'History of Salford' book as it started to annoy me!!! I had thought it would have been somebody from more recent times.

Errrrr No but I reckon I was closest to the incident

[iOh what a night[/i I bet that was ...
