And Behold, a pale horse. And on his back his name was death. The weekend starts on a Monday.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46669.jpg



Quote: Leon Ashton "Nottinghams ground was pretty rubbish but i used to hate Watersheddings.'"

We lived in Nottingham for about 12 years and on the day of that game we invited a load of friends and family down for lunch before the game and back to us after.
About 6 car loads came down the M1 in convoy and all met at our house. There was one couple who we didn't know and noticed that they hardly spoke to anyone. Off we went to the game again in convoy, I believe we won 70 something, and then back to our house. Not noticing this couple I asked around who they had come with. No one knew them. Apparently they had just seen these 5 or 6 cars with blue and white scarves out of the windows and followed them thinking they would be led to Nottinghamshire ground. Instead they got a free Sunday lunch.

Wasn't that the game Jason Ramshaw had his jaw broken?

Oldham, Watersheddings.

What a toilet that was. It was like being in an episode of Life on Mars everytime i went there.

Always cold too.

Bus Vale - water streaming down the changing room walls. Owned by the RFL at the time.

At first team level, that place we played Waterhead at about seven or eight years ago. icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

FAILURE ISN'T ABOUT FALLING DOWN, FAILURE IS STAYING DOWN..........:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3245.jpg



I've resisted posting on this thread for a few days 'cos I have a lot of happy memories of most of the RL grounds I've ever visited really.
I can't understand many people's comments about Watersheddings it was a cracking ground back in the day, the local cup final for the amateurs was a great occassion at easter & depending which teams played out the final there could be a few thousand watching and for those who like a pint after the game the clubhouse on the car park ( run by Paul Round at one time ) was pretty much legendary.

The Athletic grounds at Rochdale Hornets was a bit ropey when it was bad weather but like many other grounds I have fond memories of playing there in my youth, the Old Craven park at Hull KR was similar but I saw some great games there.

Mount Pleasant was almost a different stadium to what it is now back in the 70's, well done to them 'cos I love going there nowadays unlike the York new stadium which is a bit soul-less although I used to enjoy their old ground at Clarence street.

Huyton & Donny were pretty much inhospitable but i always felt sorry for those two clubs they had it rough for many years.

Wakey & Fev were awful, both have made improvements over the years i suppose.

My memories of Odsal are many & varied. I remember going to the "dad's army" test match in around 1979 ish & my dad took me in the ref's dressing room before kick off, I think Mick Naughton was the ref that day, Roger Millward sat pulling on a ciggy looking tense as we passed the Great Britain changing room, that was a tremendous day, most of the Aussies refusing to sign my programme after the game cos they'd been d1cked, Tony Fisher leading from the front. I've also seen many good Fax wins there, I think Graham Garrod once scored a hat trick for us having previously played for them& the facilities have improved completely from the days when we played there & stripped at the top of the hill & had that massive walk up & down those cinders and wooden sleepers to get to the pitch ! Very proud dad moment watching my lad play there a few years ago for their scholars & scoring a few tries at a high standard.

I used to enjoy the old Crown flatt stadium at Dewsbury, McClaren field at Bramley and most of the grounds in those days but I really can't get used to being made to watch games without the choice of standing up at some of the modern grounds although it seems more acceptable at the footy when I go !

Quote: Brew "The last time we went to Workington (only time I've been) it was particulary grim due to the weather, the floodlights were swaying heavily and who can forget that big sheet of wood that flew off the stand. Not that Sunshine would have made it look any better.'"


£450,000 being spent on ground improvements for our 2 world cup games, This includes works to the Popular Stand, grandstand and Enclosure, Toilets, bar areas, pitch, floodlights, new electronic scoreboard, turnstile refurbishment, works for broadcasting and media, and a number of others

Is there anything more specific as to what improvements are being made? The author of the article should be in the dole queue and all for confusing "sourced" with "sauced" icon_eek.gif

(The above isn't a criticism by the way, I've always seemed to miss our not-so-frequent trips to Workington and hope to finally make it during 2013!)

Thanks for that, top effort. Get it on the 'ground improvements' thread on the Virtual Terrace eusa_clap.gif

MM, Good news about York, they're only staying at the Huntington for next season, then they're moving to Bootham Crescent (or Kit Kat Crescent as I think they call it nowadays) for a season while the new stadium is built up at Monks Cross

what is it with everyone building new stadiums without corners. then wonder why the winds gust into the stands from the corners.
