Blackpool Borough became Springfield Borough and played there in 1987. They became Chorley or Trafford Borough after that.

There is also a ground called Springfield Park in London, Hackney RFC, but I don't think any league has been played there.

Lancashire Lynx played at Deepdale Rd, home of Preston N.E. in the late 90's.
In the early 00's they reverted to Chorley Lynx, at Victory Park Chorley.

While this is helpful, it is not really much use to me unless I can find people who are forthcoming with their memories and want to share them, which is proving difficult.

As far as I can remember the Dons didn't have any fixtures against London when they played their home games at Crystal Palace, Barnet, Charlton & The Stoop

Yet you still can't break away from talking about the game, I bet your like me that you live in hope that some of the old traditions will come back.

Keep safe fella

"It's the refs fault again". Biggest moaning whingers in RL.:



I notice Runcorn got mentioned earlier in this thread. I watched a few of their games when they played at Canal Street in the late 80s which was then the home of Runcorn football club. The stadium got demolished around 2001/2002 ish years after the RL club had up sticks and moved out.

I can think of a few of the current grounds which need to join this list of 'lost stadiums of rugby league' though.

Quote: davids "Hello fellow RL fans,

Wire fan here who spent a lot of time travelling around watching RL in the 90s, home and away.

I am researching/putting together a book of Memories of Wilderspool, but someone suggested I expand it (if I can) to cover some of the other grounds we all have fond memories of, that held such an important place in our communities, now unfortunately lost to the bulldozers and property developers.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from fans of Leigh, Sheffield Eagles, Oldham, Halifax, Salford, Widnes, Wigan, Hull FC and Saints* as I have great memories of travelling to these grounds back then, but of course any contributions from fans of any team would be valued.
[i*Actually, not such 'great' memories as we always took a thrashing there[/i
I am a Salford fan and would be happy to share my memories of The Willows. Send me a PM if interested and we can arrange something.
