Many thanks once again for the stories provided - especially jonh for the Wigan notes - it's always good to have someone to poke fun at, errrmmm, offer an alternative perspective!



Anyway - feast yourselves on this one, there's plenty of stories to be told about these games - good and bad.

So which games stand out - last years at the goatfarm?

The one which led to Smith leaving?

Wassa's celebrations?

Go on, you know you want to!!

I remember sitting in the car hearing his interview after this match. He said there was nothing he could do about it. Which was true, and why he had to go, but it was very strange to hear someone admit they were incapable of doing their job live on the radio.

Hudds memories of the last 10 years are either really really good or really really bad!!! No inbetween.

Last years win has to rate as the best memory for me, loads of Trin fans shouting themselves ho seeing us win in a very close tense match.

The celebrations after that game went on well into the night (and the early hours of the morning)

Fantastic day

As well as sticking 2 fingers up

For me its got to be the game over Easter (cant remember whether it was year before last or year before), we were on a roll and picking up support. We took a massive following, probably in the region of 3-4 thousand, the atmosphere before the game was great the players came out to warm up in front of a standng ovation. What happened? We got hammered! Wakefield why do you pick me up then let me down as they say in the song! Think it was the game where we rushed Rooney back in to the starting line up wen he quite clearly wasn't fit.

That has to be one of the lowest points watching Trin!

So much expectation and such a bad defeat. Yep was Rooney's return, too soon definitely.

Was it the playoff season when we went to McAlpine and thumped them.

my best memory of huddersfield was the 1998 play of final. was feel crap and threw up on some one front door.

but was happy with the win

Yeah it was that game when korki ran bout 35/40 metres then ran over the top of reily to score

Good start guys - but a little more needed please!

To be fair he was the last person in the universe to realise it.


My favourite moment at Hudds was getting in as a student using a mates NUS card best bit being he's an Albanian!

Yes just as I remember it was one hell of an atmosphere before we started getting hammered,

Tony Smith's last game in charge is a game I will never forget. A blistering hot day we played them off the park in the first half. Off they went to a standing ovation. And then that second half. I have never while watching Wakefield felt such a combination of elation and desperation in the space of 40 Min's. The sad thing was from the moment they scored their first try after the break it was like watching a repeat of a horror film that you had seen before but unfortunately you were unable to switch off. Such was Wakefield's form of that season every Wakefield fan knew who the winner was going to be the moment Hudds scored their first try.

On walking out of the ground the reality of the situation set in. Other results had gone against us and for the first time that season we were staring relegation straight in the face. I remember the radio interview by Smith. It was clear he was on his way.

I also remember the storming run by Korki at their place from what must have been the half way line (top 6 season). The last home game of that season also saw us beating them narrowly at BV.

come on Phil this weekends been disappointing enough without this thread

yeah i agree

what is the difference between

(a) me having sex with the entirity of the pussycats dolls at the half time break at bv when wakefield are beating huddersfield?

(b)and us holding out to the end to win?

frankly option a has a slightly larger chance,

That's why it's a good time to get this out of the way!

apart from the wins we have had

my funniest memory is when they used to put the away fans all in the stand on the side and they used to have a car pull competition at half time and when we went there was a lady driver and i think the steering must have locked up and as they were pulling she couldnt control it and it crashed into the side of the stand and scrapped all the car was very funny lol

funny all my best memories of hudds ground are as a neutral!

the aus nz world cup semi being one of my favourite games ever

edit edit edit .....thats fav non trin game...im learning!

the game against new zealand I helped run the mrs to the ground 6 months pregnant just so i could get there in time to see the haka

probably the best game of rugby ive ever seen it had everything, fantastic attacking skills vs awesome defense, tense as hell and a draw at full time, with extra time just as good.

i had to go for about 20 pints after to calm down

The last time we beat them before last season (I think) when everybody sat down the same side, we spanked them. A reasonable group of Wakey fans sat to the left of the HW line, a quick glance to the right saw Freddie and their lass (& dog) sat right in the middle of the home fans, on his own making a right pest of himself.

Added to the pleasure of beating them, seeing him annoy the hell out of a good few dozen home fans for a good 30 mins or so.

I was sat in with home fans along from Freddie (with in-laws who are from Hudds) the game you speak of. He annoyed the chuff out of me as well. As the father in law pointed out, he was shouting 'we love you wakey' etc, but left 10 mins early. And I could only assume his dog must have been telling him about the forward passes.

Freddie aka John is a great guy. He don't a F what people think he will just sing all game and on his own if he has to.

Knows some good chants as well

He did same when we got hammerd by them at Easter 2 seasons ago I think it was now.

He was going to leave at half time but decided to see if we got any better. So he ended up leaving as soon as Hudds scored there first try in 2nd half

mmmmm verdict out!
his performance in france year before last was a disgrace, caused all the bother that ended up with the hilarious JT bit.
