2001 Wigan v Halifax. I think we won something like 54-14 and I think Rads got a hat trick. I was following the team before that but never got to see a game from the ground. The first rugby game I watched was Sheffield Eagles and Wigan in 1998 Challenge cup. Im only 14 by the way. One regret I will hold with me through out my life never going to central park

Mine was very early 80's. I think we wore the old proper shirts. Big collars etc.

Sutty, Brett played for Aus that day. As I recall Ian Roberts was in the Wigan team. we scored some good tries that day and in one Shaun Edwards got injured going over the try line with Brett Kenny dropping on him.

Mine was the first year of superleague when i was 5. I only went because my dad and sisters were going and i didnt want to be left out. Now my sisters dont go and im still watching it. Hardly ever missed a match since that day and introduced a few people to the game as well.

I first went to a game in april 2004.I remember sitting there getting soaking wet in the rain and not having a clue wat was happening or who anybody was but i was hooked from that day. Since then i've been to almost every game and i can't get enough

I'm 25 now, and i remember sitting on my dad's shoulders at central park being around 4 years old. The funny thing is my dad's only around 5 feet 4 so i probably could not see a thing! I can't tell you who we were playing in truth! All i remember is that i only wanted to go because they had burgers, and hot chips in a cone! :lol:

a free ticket got me hooked. i went with a few mates, well one mate who got the tickets and a few people he knew (right *** heads). they were just pratting around but i was really really hooked and i couldnt take my eyes of the game and how it was played. after that, mid-week i went out to JJB sports, got me a shirt and went to practically every game after that. i may have missed around 3 or 4 and that was since we beat the bulls at the end of the 2004 season at home. free tickets are awesome!!! :lol:
