Wherever it was taken from, it was about ten yards further on than the penaly was orignally given..

IIRC we got a penalty, they gobbed off and got marched 10, at which point Harris took about 15, just putting him in range for the kick.

As for memorable away days, far too many to mention, but trips to the Don Valley, Warrington and London are/were nearly always a cracking day out.

McAlpine, 1999 semi final.

Giving the Bulls a 10 point start, Sheridan scoring that famous try (while Danny Peacock was still trying to play a non-existant ball!)

Coming out singing
"Hey there you with the sad face
come up to my place
and live it up"

to every bull fan we saw - hope one of them was Mick Gledhill....

Wilderspool was fantastic. You could stand at the back and just turn round to get either beer or food.

By the end, yes, but for many years you couldn't get a beer inside the ground. There was also the snooker club, which was nice and quiet, making it easy to get served.

On the downside, no 2 pint pots and it was a lot further from the train station.

I remember being told by a Bulls fan that we only won because they had a try ruled out for a forward pass.

They were 10 nil up at the time, how much of a start did they want?

You did well to spot any of them

One of my main memories of the match is how quickly the Bulls end of the ground cleared at the final whistle.

The Leeds team were doing the 'lap' of honour in front of the half of the ground where their fans were, and, as I was watching that, I remember turning to look at the Buuls fan and they were no-where to be seen.

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???

Longun..Was that in the early days of Sky*s coverage 1991-92 ish,i can remember that,,did hanley play for Leeds then ?
