Don't I just.
My first season tickets were there sat with my mam & dad. Had them for about 10 years until health and bl**dy safety rule. 25 yard line popular side scoreboard end.
You could here the bones crack.
Scrum down, McTigue playing second row.
Hggr, aahhhhhhh.
Opponent second row lies prostrate as scrum breaks up. Mac walks away from scrum, looks back and smiles.
Billy B beats two men and scores in the corner, as he scores my mam is diving on him to congratulate him.
Happy days.

| I spent many many happy hours on the steps of the hen pen. i remember it well, the smell of winter green wafting from the dressing room (FROM HENDERSON GILLS LEGS) up the tunnel to were i was stood. The the sudden surge of kids (one myself) jumping onto the tunnel wall a couple of mins before the players were due out. And then it started the music blasted out MARCH OF THE GLADIATORS and out they came. GOOD TIMES INDEED.

Great value for a shilling in total, which is 5 pence for those who don't know. And you got to watch, Billy B, Eric Ashton, Brian McTigue, Frank Collier, Punchy Griffiths, DAvid Bolton et al. (Am I giving my age away?)
It is still great now at the JJB/DW but it don't half cost a lot more.'"

| I made my debut in the "pen" nearer to the Souvenir hut.
A wall seperated my pen from the "hen-pen".
There were 3 "pens" in total, 2 of which were astride the tunnel.

Only one.
Outside the pen one could gain access to any part of the ground.
