What was the first Raiders game you ever attended?

For me it was the first trial at Seiffert Oval against the Illawarra Steelers in 1982, first premiership game was the first home premiership match against Western Suburbs Magpies in Round 2 1982.

Raiders v Panthers 2005, think we were down 18-0 pretty quick and came back to win

1995, against St George...if I recall correctly we won 17-4. Took about 2 seasons before I saw a losing game at Bruce. Sitting in the hill stand in the old orange seats

First NRL game versus Souths at Redfern. Got done about 35 to 5 but put up a reasonable show considering the strength of the squad. If I recall correctly the game was on a Friday night which preceded a weekend of attending games at Lidcombe and Kogarah between mammoth drinking sessions.

Bruce stadium 1994 think it was against dragons.

Round 26 , Orana Park 1983. Newtown vs Raiders . At the time Jets fan and it was good to see them win in their last game. 9 -6 victory to the Jets.

Looking at the details of the match. Newtown won the scrum 15-12. 27 scrums.

1st Raiders home game would be Lozzas last home game at Bruce vs the Roosters then backed it up by traveling down for Lozzas last game at Bruce vs the Panthers.

No idea, but I was young and wearing a Woodgers jersey.

Versus Manly at Seiffert in 83'. We lost but I was hooked.

No idea either. I think it was against the Broncos at night time sometime whilst Schif was still playing for us.

I was there in the stands for the first home game

Thombre · Post by **Thombre** » January 16, 2016, 8:32 pm

to be honest the first one i remember attending was daley, mullins and furners final home game??? I cant remember a lot about it but I remember a game against the roosters possibly the same game (or would have beeen that year definately) I had just moved to canberra that year and was so excited to go watch a game but my dads work schedule meant we couldnt really make it but I definately remember going to that one

1987 last game Souths played at Redfern and we smashed them then backed up the following week to see us smash the Roosters at Henson Park.

I can't even remember if it was in 82 or 83, and who it was against. I know it was after they already beat Newtown in 82. I'm guessing at the earliest it may have been Parramatta rd 21 in 82; maybe v St George rd 25 83, but I'm pretty sure I saw a few losses before I saw a win.

Basically I have no idea. Call it senility, and I wasn't much of a fan.*

* though apparently I lined up against Les Cleal in rd 26 of 82... Lucky I can still think. Or walk.

Round 2 - 2004 v Penrith.

Parked at CIT and had to ask someone directions to the ground.

I should also add I have never attended a Raiders game as a non-member.

Trial vs a newcastle team early 88 - don't think they called them the knights though, newcastle rep team used to play the nswrl runner up.
It was effectively the knights minus a few imports

Easter Sunday (I'll guess about round 5) 1990, Bruce Stadium, Raiders vs Roosters, 66-4...... Dad still has this on tape from the tv....apart from Mals 5 tries, my other great memory from that games is chicka catching a kick from the roosters, breaking away, then passing to a young Daley who ran 50ish metres with no one near him to score....... Great first live game as a kid

87 I think. I was living in Sydney and went to all those suburban grounds to watch the boys.

From 87-95 I was a regular at all (well a lot) Raiders away games.

Started going to all home games sometime around a year or two before Daley retired. First memory in life is being at old family farm in Sutton and everyone watching the 89 gf.
