I was originally planning for the very first game but as soon as the fixtures came out that plan was changed. My Dad is too old to travel to Cas in Feb and I can only get 2 weeks off work. As much as I would love to make the very first game, being able to make 2 with my Dad (and the first home games at that) is just too important to pass up. He was started taking me as a toddler in the mid60's and we were there behind the sticks at Hilton Park until I emigrated in 1995. So many great memories with him and my uncle (now sadly gone) and time to make some more |

Win, lose or draw you will make memories both of you will look back on for many years. Some of my funniest memories are dismal days/nights, with the team not playing their best, stood behind the sticks in the pooring rain, looking over to my Uncle with him puffing on his pipe then saying "well, looks like another pint is in order". Never late for a game, and NEVER left before the final whistle.
Moral is, it's not what happens in the game that's most important, it's who you are with to take it in.
Long live the famileigh of our great club  |

Used to love going to the A team games with my Dad, a few pints in the bar after and loads of good gossip, before Tinternet spoiled it. Murph was always there and loved telling stories, great days.
We were there when Jason got Sine Die for flattening a Wigan player in an A Team game, could hear the crunch from the stands, luckily for him it was over turned and he had a great career.

Mish has discovered what Bongser'd like to call "A Found Poem".

All of the above.
Bongser's first memory in this vein, is being on Old Pa Bongser's shoulders as the Challenge Cup was paraded around Leythe (the last (or rather latest) time that is).
The only other one Bongser thinks worth sharing (most may disagree) is of his father at a turnstile at Hilton Park. He paid his admission and, as doing so, asked the attendant if it would be okay for his lad to hop over. The attendant winked and nodded his head towards the interior. His face changed when the skin and bone, spidery legs of a 6'3" early teenage Bongser took the turnstile in his stride 
RIP OPB |

Does anyone remember going to A team games in the 60's on a Saturday, and then waiting anxiously for the half-time and full time scores to be announced over the tannoy for the first team playing away on the same day? That meant you could never leave early, but it usually ended up in disappointment in pre-Murphy era!

There are days when you can't remember your name, let alone A team games in the 60s. |
