Another game I really enjoyed was played Barrow away in the CC, we were scoring at will on a lovely sunny day, every time we scored Tony Martin lined up for the restart next to us, I joked with him that I had a fiver on him to score, believing it he tried his upmost to score and after the game came over to apologise, didn’t have the heart to tell him I was winding him up . A lovely little ground just a decent travel.

I really enjoyed that trip too.

The build up to the million pound game against Bradford was the worst feeling leading up to a game. Any game with jordan playing is a stomach churning even though.

Re: Bit Of Fun? : Wed Apr 01, 2020 10:05 pm  
A very memorable game for me was back in the early eighties. My mate had free use of the firm's van on a weekend including a full tank of fuel, therefore travel to the match at Workington that Sunday was not going to cost us anything for a start. My mate took two aquaintances on board for a small fee. We stopped at a pub in Penrith on the way and had some snap and a couple of pints. After a game of fives and threes at which I won enough money to pay for my food and ale we then carried on to Derwent Park. On arrival at the ground our two passengers went their own way, and me and my mate were approached by two blokes as we parked up the car. They asked if we would like to accept two complimentary main stand tickets for the game on behalf of the West Cumberland ARLFC. Of course we accepted. So, that day I enjoyed a lovely 300mile round trip through "The Lakes"; free food and drink and free entrance to the match (which we won, by the way). A very enjoyable day indeed.

Think I've got to agree with you on that one, BLM

I agree with you, awful build up and even worse during the game, didn’t have a pint all game which is a no, no from me. :D

Always used to dread going to Odsal for some reason, even when Bradford weren't that good they still seemed to embarrass us! Strangely enough, if some one asked me for a list of my favourite games then Bradford away in 2006 the week before the MPG would definitely be on there, Friday night and the odds were massively against us but for some reason I just knew that we was going to come away with the win.

I would say my favourite fixture is Cas home or away, there is just a little bit of extra emotion in it, although I do hope we can pick up a win sometime soon!

I was never a fan of Odsal. Too big. Too cold. Too far from the action. I remember the game where Richard Agar seemed to be really meddling with line-ups and it just seemed a really frustrating time, and I hated Odsal that day. I think it was the game where Steve Southern was injured and played on one leg for a few tackles. Possibly his last game.

As for the 2006 game, I never really felt nervous in that last couple of weeks. It just felt like Cas were fading and looking really tired, and we were on the upward.

As an aside, it struck me recently that there will be adults watching Wakey who have been fans all their life and have zero collection of 2006, if you assume that most sporting recollections won't go back further than being five or six. That made me feel old. There'll be adults watching Wakey who saw the MPG as a blip rather than "here we go again".

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS

Nice ground but booty end of nowhere. Been working up there and if the A590 ever gets closed it's a fricking nightmare. Had several journeys take 6 hours instead of 3.
