If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

Broughton Rangers became defunct in 1955, but recently the club was ressurrected in 2008 as an amateur club and plays in the RLCNW.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Tyldesley reverted back to Union a few years later , they are still playing

All the history of Rugby League is in the museum which is in the George Hotel Huddersfield, inluded in the hotel is the room where the break came, it is now called the Founders Bar, I visited the George Hotel last Sunday to see an old school classmate made a Heritage Rugby League Legend, I was among 200 visitors that came to see Michael Sullivan given this honour at a very moving ceremony, with excellent tributes from his Australian opponents, and from another legend Mr Colin Hutton. To those who have not visited this museum, Please take a trip over to Huddersfield to see the Greatest Games history.You will be pleasantly surprised!.

Stockport still play at Edgely park but that inferior round ball game icon_wink.gif

Bradford split into 2

Bradford Football and Bradford NORTHERN RU club icon_lol.gif

Both went down the toilet but now both survive in different degrees.

They were in the conference until they got punted out a couple of years ago for playing an unregistered player who got sent off.

Think they are back in the Pennine League now

This is why events unnerve me.:



Runcorn closed down during the Great War (having been in dire financial straits for the few preceding years) and didn't resume in 1918.

A soccer club replaced them at the Canal Street ground, the same venue that Runcorn Highfield used in the 1980s. The soccer club went bust a few years ago and the site is now a housing estate.

Quote: Derwent "Broughton Rangers became defunct in 1955, '"

They did, but they'd moved to Belle Vue and changed name to Belle Vue Rangers in 1945/46.
See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broughton_Rangers

So, in answer to the OP, I can say that I did see Belle Vue Rangers play. That would have been in their last few years of existence when they were one of the few teams that Liverpool City could beat occasionally. icon_smile.gif
