Quote ="ninearches"I was there in the 60s ,this time of year, horrible conditions....Workington nil-nil at Wilderspool & dodging the pennies thrown from the back of the stand for the blanket collection. Leeds in a CC quarter final on a Wednesday night in February/March in the Wilderspool mud ,lost 3-2. Both heavy slogs in terrible playing conditions ,but in spite of the horizontal rain & sleet the Leeds game was very absorbing. Not good for the faint hearted.'"
Was the Leeds game a replay with a Jackie Melling a disallowed try? if so I was there too, not throwing any coins though, I've attended some games on freezing nights at Thrum Hall never thought I was going to thaw out.
