5 minutes after reading this, still chuckling. Curiously, I (re)watched the drubbing we gave them at the Ricoh more recently, one of the last games I went to after my heart attack and before the lockdown.

Yes Yes x one million!  St Valentine's  Day Massacre.  We had George Smith for Captain too.

Brilliant! Well said that man!
That was my one and only visit to Copthall.

That place reminded me of a rundown late-1950s dog-track, complete with grubby blokes in dirty macs! Still can't get that image out of my mind!

PS That was Will Rowlands' debut game for us.

My favourite Copthall stadium moment was coming second on the 4x100 relay on school sports day.

Our first home match (against Irish - they scored the first try)  at the Ricoh.  Couldn't ever forget that either.  Flags and flames.  Fantastic.

My favourite "Watching Wasps Experience" was oddly at Tigers...I'd visited Tigers using conference facilities any number of times and they provided a great lunch...if you liked meat...But I was taken to Tigers by a friend who has family working for Tigers and got us great tickets. But in a whole block of Tigers. I was the only Wasps.

I remember seeing Tom V score and rising to cheer and seeing every eye look my way. I bowed deeply and thanked them...We lost...

My favourite was at the Stoop a few years ago, when Kyle Eastmond got sent off & Wasps battered Quins playing with 14 men for most of the match.
I had been lent my friends Quins season tickets for that game so my wife & I were the only Wasps fans in a sea of quartered shirts. The sheer joy of standing up cheering every time we scored, surrounded by an increasingly unhappy crowd, was just wonderful!

Away to Bath, and seeing Vesty showboating.  Also our first live Wasps match - Lol, Phil Vickery (English Captain), Raf Ibanez (French Captain)  plus Kinga etc etc. Wow.

I was a guest of Saracens that day. You should have seen the faces around me after Wasps had scored three tries in the first 15 minutes.

Backdoc,
I think you'll find we had scored 3 tries inside the first 8 minutes!
