On Feb 9th 1918 Northern played an away fixture versus Brighouse Rangers - a match that should never have been played. The Brighouse pitch was covered in 8" of snow with howling blizzards going on at the same time. Brighouse didn't want to play but Northern's directors insisted and the game went ahead in front of 9 (NINE) spectators.

The match was abandoned after 35 minutes but the result stood. Northern won 13-11.

Quote: Mick Gledhill "That would be the 1st December 1995 and the friday night game agaisnt Oldham with just 2,787 there.

Ony 5,546 attended the home game against Leeds that season and amazing to think that only 3,389 we're at Odsal when St Helens we're the visitors.

I think the above just goes to show that the gates of 6,382 vs Salford & 6,217 vs Catalans during the 2010 season still show some considerable improvement on those 1995/1996 season gates before the switch to Super League and summer Rugby League.

Bradford Northern averages 1945/1965

1945-1946
I guess it was a combination of things. Certainly the Bradford side's performances had dropped off; a very good, but ageing side, with too many coming up to retirement at the same time and players not being replaced with newcomers of a similar standard.

When you add in the fact that the economy was improving after wartime shortages and people had more choices about where to spend their leisure time (TV was becoming popular, and more affordable for the working classes,for instance) it's perhaps not that surprising that 'traditional' pastimes fell out of favour to some extent.

Quote: Teddy Melling "

The team that day- Cook, Cordle, Bradley, Loughlin, Christie, Summers, Paul, Ireland, Dwyer, McDermott, Donougher, Nickle, Knox. Subs Hassan, Donohue, Fairbank, Medley. The scorers were- Cook, a try and three goals, and a try from Donohue. Also of interest, on December 1st 1996, Northern beat Oldham 14-10 in front of 2787.

great work in the piece but I'd be extremely surprised if Gerald Cordle was playing [rosetint]much as we could have done with him [rosetint] that season

Also if ever there was a player that would have benefitted from full time superleague training it would have been Neil Summers

Prepare to be extremely surprised. I copied that team line-up from the T&A’s match report the following day.

I vaguely remembered it being Hull KR, but thought I might have been confusing it because of Paul Harkin.
like when he made his debut for Leeds against us at headingley -oh that was funny
