My favourite was one of Peter Fox's last games in charge when we went to Leigh (date TVOC?). We had a banner, "Fox get out!" and stood opposite the dugouts in the first half. In the second half I was laid on top of the away dugout screaming at Fox to "Get out!".

Nothing like getting behind the team eh?

remember this occuring at salford too

fox was a strange as alex murphy would have been,leeds being the only big club he didn't manage;

the number of coaches tried between 1980 & 1999 it's no wonder Murray wins the popularity contests

Good job the hetherington out banners of 96/97 were ignored

What was all the more remarkable was Leeds were missing about 6 first teamers that night IIRC.

Whatever became of that young second rower - Matt Shaw? Was he either from or ended up at York?

Not sure of the dates on these, but 2 away days stand out for me :

First was away at Cas in the Premiership when Schoey scored late to win the game, after being sin binned earlier when he had a try disallowed.

The second was Warrington away, I think it was in the John Gallagher days, when Leeds had made a poor start to the season. No one gave them a chance and considering how many supporters were there from Leeds (not many), it showed.

Anyhow, we won 22-10, I'm pretty sure Simon Irving was playing too, and because there weren't that many fans there we seemed to all huddle together singing out hearts out. It was the first time my Mum had driven me to an away game so it was like travelling in luxury, and even though we took a wrong turn and ended up at Manchester Airport on the way back it didn't matter !!!

Yes Irving was playing, IIRC kicked a goal from the touchline. Gallagher scored his first try for us that day. You're right about the low turnout from us as we had made an awful start but we all went mental when Gallagher scored.

Another memorable trip to Warrington was near the end of the 88-89 season. We won 10-8 in a monsoon. I remember us scoring the best try I have ever seen in such apalling conditions. A 90 metre team effort finished by Paul Delaney, I think. He was involved in the move somehwere anyway. John Woods missed about 3 penalty goals in last 5-10 mins to level the game.

No.

He means the young second rower from York, Matt Shaw.

Hull FC in the Regal Trophy in about 92. Schofield got the winning try, picking up a loose ball near his own posts and going the length of the field. That shut the codheads up who had been giving him non stop abuse as usual. More memorable for me as it was the first time I'd seen us win at the Boulevard. Think it was also the game when Ellery got his jaw smashed to pieces by Andy Dannatt.

The only time THAT chant has ever worked! You're right, a classic away day moment.
