| Never saw Sunday Bloody Sunday , so just watched it now , The Late Hits and spear tackles (which seemed legal) where horrendous . Amazing to see how bad it was back then and the coaching was just about getting stuck in and certainly not always legally , £12 Losing pay to get beaten up  . Must have been the most Amateur filming and tv show of its time , but it told a perfectly true story |

It's an absolutely superb documentary. I'd never seen it before.

Sunday Bloody Sunday ,never seen it ,where is it available please ?
On the subject of Alt Park ,i remember going watching a Wire game there just after it opened & we were stood on duck boards .I believe there was also a lot of player involvement in the building of Alt Park.
I have faint memories of Knotty Ash , where Huyton played as Liverpool Stanley/City.
A ground i love is Keighley with its cricket pitch next door,a bit like a rustic Headingley.

Runcorn Highfield moved into St Helens in 1990, quickly changed their name to Highfield, and played at St Helens Town AFC's ground Houghton Road until 1993. Another stadium which hosted RL that has now long gone.
I used to go if Saints didn't have a game.

Rlfans - the most toxic rugby league forum in the world: |
|
| Quote: GeoffRoebuck "Stanley Park The Oval Ground Blackpool'"
The “oval ground” is still going in some respects. It’s an athletics track with a grass pitch in the middle that the council will allow to be used for rugby as long as you grovel. The other pitches on Stanley park for rugby were removed by the council 2-3 years ago so Blackpool Stanley had to move a Mile away to kingscote park Instead. |
