Not another Stuart Duffy love child......you may well have been conceived on the centre spot at Headingley.

I was born in LGI (still not sure whether the old maternity hospital still existed then). Leeds were my nearest professional club to my home address, I've never taken the time to measure whether they were closest to the hospital or not, as I was only there a couple of days and to be honest I don't remember much about it.

Bramley were pretty close to where I was brought up (maybe a shade nearer as the crow flies than Leeds, I'd have to check if I could be bothered) but then there would have been the issue of crossing the river, and we would have regarded the idea of mingling with those dwelling south of the river as rather distasteful.

What was the postcode for McLaren Field (the ground, not the moderator)?

I'm LS8 and a Rhinos fan.
Sometimes go watch Milford play tho .

McLaren Field was LS13

When I was born the question would have been "whats a Post code" instead we used lovely descriptive terms I always liked writing to my Nana in Sunderland as the "Post code" was Durham County Palatine.

I need you to be more precise than that I'm afraid. There will likely only have been a few hundred yards difference between Headingley and McLaren Field, so I need exact postcodes to determine whether I'm a glory-hunting bandwaggoner or not.

Even a 'detailed' post code might only narrow it down to half a dozen houses.

If its that close you might need to think about a supplementary test - maybe plot the centre of the 2 pitches and the centre of your first bedroom?

Good thinking that man. At last, a practical use for Google Earth. Now, should I take the straight-line distance, or take into account transport links, particularly with regard to bridge crossings? This will vary somewhat as any routefinder software these days will no doubt not use Newlay Bridge, but this would have been an option for me in my youth.

As the crow flies my friend. As the crow flies.

So in a fairly ungainly fashion, stopping periodically to pick at bits of dead animal?



Sweet.

Thats the one.
