The day is only as good as you make it. We had an absolute belter. Apart from the moment we walked in to the ground to the moment we left. Dire. Mind you, watching Bolton there was a similarly depressing experience.
The atmosphere didn’t need to be like that but the initial attempts from the RFL to nurture an England supporters club just fell completely flat. We did have a good day in the players lounge that day, though!
My main memory of the 2001 game at the Reebok is that it was one of the first games I actually remember leaving early. We were halfway up the steps to KFC when we heard the crowd must up a cheer for Leon Pryce’s try late on.
