For me, at 3:- At Salford about 5 years ago when the TA laid on a mock battle. Blanks firing, thunderflashes going off etc, it was like Saving Private Ryan.

At 2:- again about 5 seasons ago at Widnes with the "how to tackle a chip pan fire". Dramatic and useful. I could feel the heat off the flames where I was sat.

Number 1:- about the same time, Wolfie on the hovercraft, whizzing round the HJ. He looked terrified, hanging on for dear life in case his head came off, with one of those stiff scarves stuck out behind.

They never seem to have anything to match these days.

I liked it when the Royal Marines (?) abseiled from the roof of the HJ stadium. Think it was 2004/5.

The Salford game HT entertainment was v. poor. That goal kicking thing needs binning. Having said that I thought it was very clever how they managed to synchronise 12 dancers such that they were all out of step with each other

All you need is one stick, one ball, on set of posts and a willing volunteer.

Ask volunteer to spin around the stick 3 times and then try to kick a goal.

Endless hours of fun.

We are back on the "Bridge kicking" thread




On the entertainment front I've noticed how I (and lots of others) have enjoyed watching the youngsters play. All the tries were greeted with a big cheer.

Jedward anyone? So rubbish it was funny!

i could be biased my band played there once!
ray quinn was funny, forgetting the words then shouting barmy army in a grating scouse accent!

I think that the 'Kick the ball into the section with the correct answer' last year was best...

that was funny... cos no bugger won!
i was at leeds once and there was a similar game to what we have now and i have never seen anything so funny
he kicked the first ball at 20m and won a signed leeds shirt, gambled
he kicked the second ball at 30m and won a weekend away to any destination in europe, gambled
AND next the cocky bugger thought he could kick a conversion from 40m's to win a week in spain
....he failed and lost the lot!!!

Wolfie kicking off with that scruffy widnes mascot is one of best bits of entertainment i've ever seen

Chemic is his name I think...

I like seeing the little kids play. The Marines and the fire brigade demos were great too.

That was last year I think, the week before Wigan in the semi final, he didn't just miss the last one, he completely sliced it

When we played Hull at home in 08. Wolfie stuck some girl to the posts with masking tape and couldn't get her off

Tried that at a barby about 15 years ago, the host was not amused when I went straight thru the neighbours fence at about 2 in the morning!

He he

We should do a "worst thing you have done to the neighbours" thread. I've a few.

Haven't seen 1 piece of half time stuff you could remotely call entertaining so 3 is impossible

1. The original sumo suits from Wilderspool
2. Wolfie digging through a random woman's handbag, pulling out most of the items
3. The Royal Marine dressed as Wolfie, kicking off on his fellow Marines

Speccies throwing a 'snake' into a bag being held by Wolfie. How much excitement do you want...

1. Alan Catterall chasing the Oldham Bears mascot round Watersheddings pitch & rugby tackling him.
2. Wolfie tied that young lady to the posts long before 05 - it was in front of the Fletcher Street, she was still gaffer taped to the sticks when the players came out.
3. Again at Wilderspool, Wolfie throwing/kicking ball into crowd it knocked off & broke a lady's glasses & he was forced to publically apologise at next game.

However you can't beat kids' matches with random shouts of "Give it the fat kid!" & "Rip his head off!"

Wasn't half time, but years ago we played Trafford Borough in a cup game. They ran out with Rugby balls with "come and watch Trafford Borough" printed on them, kicked them into the Fletcher end, who, promptly kicked them back. Funny as.....

Sumo suits at the zoo, one time someone went over the line and because the suits were so round they rolled onto their head. Funny as.

The Wireball Fireball! (When it worked!)

Wasn't that a chicken?
Yours pedantly.

Yeah that's right. I can't believe how much fun a plastic chicken generated...

Plastic chicken throwing every time.
