She ain't no human being.

Just driven past Odsal Top and noticed that there is a "Stunts and firework spectacular" at the Provident stadium on Nov 1st.
At first I thought it was a spelling mistake!

No, no mistake. It really is the Provident Stadium

Wow reading this drivel from 'dulls' fans I am now glad my dad made me walk to Thrum Hall from Boothtown rather than catch the bus from North bridge to the top of Odsal.
Even though Northern were a decent side in the 60's I preferred to walk to the blue and White. (Dixon Freeman Wilco, Foggy etal)
Makes me shiver that I may have had to wear the amber black and gold.
"Com on the "Fax stick it to 'em"

I was brought up in Northowram and it was a lot easier to get to Odsal, but thankfully my dad had played for Fax so we went to Thrum Hall. We did go to watch the odd Northern match but the thought of freezing my bits off there on a regular basis would have been horrendous.

And Thrum Hall was well known for its sunshine and paradise like surroundings!

Great to know your Dad played for Fax, without giving your identity away can you tell us who he was?
My Dad boxed Henry Cooper when they were both amateurs in London.

There were no pretensions at Thrum Hall, it was always a delapidated stadium, the highest ground in Rugby League, but no matter what you or your acolyites say, it was a Rugby ground, close to the pitch, close enough to see the steam rising from the pack, close enough to see the bench of both sides, be able to walk around at half time, a lovely bar run by the "taverners" so don't give us that, my ground is better than your ground.
If you really were honest, you would confirm that your ground, including surroundings was the worst in Super League, The Shay is a great Stadium, Fev, Leigh, Doncaster, make your ground look like a ???
No disrespect intended.

JD, I must take you to task over this. You must remember the Eagles of Sheffield-shire competing in the egret of RL that is SL, therefore, surely they must have played at a stadium ( sic ) of lesser SL calibre than ODSAL/RFL
