Most memorable away days : Tue Mar 31, 2009 11:31 pm  

Ok, just nabbed from the Hull forum and probably been done on here loads of times, but favourite or most memorable away day moments you've had following Leeds...

I have a couple for different reasons...

1) Early 90's, Featherstone away, rarely made it to away games in those days and my Dad drove me and a mate to Post Office Road through the thickest fog I have ever witnessed in my life. We must have been a mile from the ground when it was announced on the radio that the game had been called off.

IIRC, we lost the "replayed" match 21-20, to a last minute Deryck Fox drop goal, and ironically it was a beautifully sunny day that it took place

2) Saints away when we were stood in the away end on a ridiculously sunny day where the sun was setting behind the stand, and with Saints on the attack, Keith Senior suddenly emerged from the shadows and fed Karl Pratt to finish off an absolute demolition job of Saints on their own turf. Turns out a kick through by Saints had hit the crosssbar then rebounded onto someones nogging or summat. Classic.

Anyone...?

No its not an obsession but the best away day was at the Galfarm in 03 when Leeds beat St Helens. it’s the only game that actually claimed my voice.

Had lots of memorable away days . Some of them involve getting back to the coach laughing and singing and celebrating a win . People already at , or on the coach wondering why we are so happy .
Well it was because we stayed until the final whistle and saw a strong final few minutes where our team rescued a victory from the jaws of a defeat .

Priceless

I was in line with Sinny's kick and the posts.... bloody awesome that was.


Iv seen GB away if that counts. 30k at SFS to see us get bum ****** by the Aussies in 02. Was a great day though that started at the Unanderra Hotel in Wollongong and finished there too with a few pubs in kings X thrown inbetween too

A couple of years ago and the 30-0 at Odsal.

I was so happy for weeks after that

How could I ever forget the sunny afternoon at the stoop ?
Just been sat and had the Rhinos badge painted on back of my head in the bit where they do the kids face-painting..
I found a seat in the stands and asked Diane the coach steward to put sun cream on my neck.. At this point things got a little confused and i had the whole tub poured over my head . People were walking past and helping themselves to the excess . I believe at least one person ( Kev B ?) ended up with more than his share of factor 30 in his beer .

Drubbing Wigan 19-0 at Central Park.

Sadly newer fans will think there's nothing special about beating Wigan on their own turf, but back then it was pretty special.

Am I right in recalling Bentley scoring a belter of a try???

wigan away in 98 was a great night.

The last few away days at Old Trafford haven't been bad, or are they classed as home now?

I'll second that....a fantastic night, with a very patched up team and yes Bentos did score a cracker that night!
