Beating Wire at home 3-2. Greg Mackey with a penalty and a drop goal IIRC. Low score but a right nerve jangling dingdong of a game!

Best
Old Trafford 1991premiership final win V Widnes
Elland road 1982 challenge cup replay win V Widnes
Boulevard..1979 floodlit Trophy final win V Dobbins
Worse
71-0 deafeat by Bradford in the 2005 play offs
Meetings at charlston club in the Lloyd era but i do remember one funny moment at a meeting.Seeing a chair with a tennis racket and ball on it,because we all knew Lloyd would not turn up.
The death of Clive Sullivan.

Didn't travel away in those days so I'm almost certain it was the Boulevard. But I can't be 100% now you've mentioned it.

| Best:
1: Challenge Cup Semi Final - Battered Saints, just the fact that i was going to watch the boys walk out in a final for the first time.
2: 2005, Challenge cup final. - As soon as we went behind in the 70 minute i thought the game had gone. But we dug deep and Celebrating was amasing.
3: Wigan 18-20 Hull I think it was april 2003. We hadn't won there for 10 years and it was a friday night. Horne steped in the final minutes to score beside the posts. Did the double over them that year.
Worst:
1: Grand Final 2006. Thought we was going to be champions. Great year though.
2: Challenge Cup Final 2008. Thought we could finally lay the wembley hoodoo to rest.
3: Getting beat by leeds final game of the year, to miss out on the play-offs. Deano's last game.

Not surprised about that one, seeing as we didn't make it that year!

I think there were two. Greg Mackay playing for Wire scored the winning drop goal (was it one - nil) - racking my brains but I can't remember if this really happened or if I imagined it... and the other was when he played for us at their ground and he scored a drop goal and a penalty to win three - two.

| Barring the 2005 cc win..
In no particular order -
Best -
1. 2005 CC semi against saints - best performance i've ever seen from an fc side.
2. Leeds away in 2006 - best away game i've ever been too.
3. Cas away a few years back, think it was a friday night game, toa-kohe-love intercepted and went 90 metres in the last minute to win the game, great scenes.
Another memorable game was back at the boulevard when we played Leeds and beat them 38-6, Jason Smith was amazing that night, one of the best individual performances i've ever seen from a player.
Worst -
1. 71-0 defeat at odsal in 2005.
2. Getting thumped by Rovers in their 1st season in super league.
3. Cas away last year was a huge low point.

| 1, Winning CC in replay 82
2, Winning CC 05
3, Beating Warrington 3-2 at their ground under Brian Smith, a great game were defences were on top throughout but a great spectacle all the same.
Worst
1, CC final loss to the Dobbins
2, The horrible performance by us in 83 against Featherstone who if i recall had been relegated that season.
3, Brian Smith leaving, our fortunes started to go downhill after that (ok we won the 91 premiership but that was Smiths work that got us there)
Lots more to pick like the 85 cup final which is still one of the best games to watch and a few more minutes we would have won etc

[iThat[/i midweek rearranged game against Widnes in blizzard conditions when Dez Haslar and Richard Gay had to come off because of the cold. Can't remember the year. early nineties I think. I've never been so cold in my life but was absolutely bouncing when we won!

It was April the 5th 90 or 91 was a bloody cold night and the odds of us winning were slim to none. But we played a blinder and came up with the win, cannot remember the score but one of my best nights at the Boulevard.

| Best (not including the 2005 CC Win)
1991 Premiership Final.
1982 John Player Final.
1982 Challenge Cup Final replay.
Worst (not including the 1980 CC Final)
1983 Challenge Cup Final.
The 'lost' years in the 1990's when it looked like we would go under.
Losing 2-1 to Oldham at the Watersheddings - I think it was a Boxing Day game in the early 80's. A Steve Parrish goal beating a Steve Norton drop goal if I remember correctly. A really crap game. It was freezing cold and pouring with rain, and there were holes in the stand roof.

Totally agree. Only about twelve hundred of us IIRC all huddled under the best stand. I was behind the dugout freezing me t!ts off!
