Gerrumonside ref Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Share your favourite Grand Final memories here and conduct discreet brags about how many you’ve been to haha! I went to the first one between Wigan and Leeds as a neutral - nowhere near full but you could see the potential. Since then I saw Saints beat Wigan as underdogs, the win over plucky Hull FC and a couple of sickening back to back defeats by Leeds! What are your favourite memories or even funny stories?

Chris22 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 My favourite memory was 2014. Not the most memorable of matches (Flower aside) but such a relief to break that losing run. Probably helped by having no expectation of winning pre match! James performance pre match was great too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Been to a few as neutral, but I absolutely loved seeing my own team walk out at Old Trafford. Watched Wire 3 times there (was on holiday for one of the others) and loved the first two despite losing to Leeds and Wigan - they were brilliant games of RL, great skill, atmosphere, controversy etc. The last one I went to I was bored to tears (Price as manager vs Wigan). Most disappointed with the Cas v Leeds one, but that was because it just wasn't a contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szymala Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Rob Burrow's stunning 2011 try. Sensational effort that remains unsurpassed in a GF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Jason Robinson in 98, in fact the whole game. I'd been to Premiership games at OT before that but the atmosphere was completely different that night. Previously it was more like an end of season festival but suddenly it was was deadly serious with the Championship being on the line. This year will be my 22nd GF I think, missed just 2 including 2020 of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Sean Long drop goal was pretty special. Genuine 50/50 final you couldn't split Saints and Bradford at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Bulls spanking Wigan in 2001 was good. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Pete Grady Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 2002, I was at the NRL Grand Final, Warriors v Sydney Roosters nd Mozzer. At half time, the entertainment was billed as Billy Idol, (White Wedding and all that) the stage and lighting were very quickly set-up and Mr Idol enters the ground standing up on the back of a quad bike waving a flag of some sort with all floodflights trained on him. He jumps off the bike, the crowd applause, the band strikes up, he runs across the stage, he grabs the mic, he shouts the usual to the crowd and suddenly there's a power failure to the band - all sound from them stops. He runs off stage, gets on the quad and rides out of the stadium in the gloom to the boos of the crowd. Marvellous! Catch it on Youtube 'The Invisble Man is at the door'. 'Tell him I can't see him'.

Pete Grady Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Russell Watson singing 'Nessun Dorma' before the start of the 99 Final, now thats the way to get the crowd going. This year's performance of 'Abide with me' and 'God save the Queen' at the Challenge Cup Final was frankly attrocious darlings, hardly a note in tune. 'The Invisble Man is at the door'. 'Tell him I can't see him'. The late, great Tommy Cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
