"Widnes years"? ....so that takes account of life shortening factors like a Northern diet etc?

No, it's purely based on following Widnes RLFC. 

It's roughly 3 years to 1 year. They were World Club champions during my first game, and things have been slightly more turbulent since.

Is that you Luke Gale?

I'm sure George Watt of this parish won't mind me mentioning that he once said he went to the opening of Boothferry Park in Hull in 1946 which suggests he must surely have reached four score by now.

Talking of ages, do people remember Viking Warrior, a Widnes fan who used to post on here? His posting style and, in my opinion, his seeming inability to accept any other opinion other than his made me think he was in his teens. I was absolutely astounded when he stated that he was in his sixties.

I`m 58 and a lot of people think I look about 45. Mentally, depends whether you get me on a good day or bad.

45 is good though, cause I still get young birds coming on to me, and at 58 that`s always a buzz.

I'm 62 and I've had younger women saying I don't look that old 

But women tell lies

There's a poster on the Fev page who regularly likes to remind everyone he's nearly 90 and started watching Fev in 1930 something. 

The rest of them are 89

I had an actual fall from grace in the week before Christmas. Slipped on an icy pavement and currently recovering from a broken collarbone and a cut  area of scalp.

It's only fair to warn you that my shoulder has been slightly less painful than watching Kearball every week.

I'm 68.

Thanks OF. Am rapidly heading for 85!  First RL match I remember attending in Hull was in 1945 at Craven Park closely followed by a trip to the Boulevard. Mum born in East Hull was Hull KR and dad born in West Hull was FC. When I was born in 1938 my parents were running a pub in the 'Old Town' which was demolished in the 70's.

Incredible we have contributors who remember games from the 40s when the game was only a bit older than Broncos are now !

Didn't realise there were so many girls with daddy issues in Australia. 

I'm researching Australian immigration policy ASAP.
