and the importance of stadium criteria.

[b]The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Don’t waste your time on jealousy-sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself[/b]:5728.jpg

Absolutely brilliant to see the likes of Station Road and Tattersfield once again.

That would be funnier if we'd not left there a few years back.

Nice try, but FAIL.

you bstd... that was the golden era of RL.... sigh!!

looking at those pics reminds me of seeing a pair of favourite old shoes... really comfortable.. fashionable in their day... but now tired and worn out....

still brought back some great memories...

oh and IMHO franchising has not played any part in the move away from any of the grounds pictured... professional soccer did most of that!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



How dare you put Central park on there! It is better than most super league grounds now!

The Bramley pics bring back some good memories . Parties under the 'posh' stand on the Rossefield ginnel side . The shivering stand on the Barley Mow side . Watching through the windows othe Villager if it was really cold out , and sneaking in from behind where the pics were taken when we were kids. Shortly before that place closed we had an advertising hoarding behind the sticks , the photographer was probably sat on our board to get that angle.

Remember my cousin playing at McLaren Field against Bramley and saying that the pitch had fag ends on it, from the market that took place the day before!

In reply to title of thread if you were at the Leigh v Widnes game or watching it ....it confirms that its wrong Widnes are and theres at least 5 teams in the Championship a lot better.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif



stadium criteria were introduced well before franchising
