| Well I watched the U20 / U19 matches at Wilderspool, and it was good to relive the memories from 50 years ago in the old wooden stand. But in truth the old girl was in a depressing condition. Her skirts were in a shocking state, with all sorts of litter and detritus around the outside. The pigeons flapped around the old club, the cheap cement blocks supporting the scoreboard looked as though they were imported from a Moldovan demolition yard, and I think I preferred the old wooden bench seats to the modern offering. The one quality bit of infrastructure was the pitch which apart from periods of heavy sustained rain, looked in a superb state.
Time to let the old girl join the ghosts that were our heroes... when we were young.

| So many fond memories of the place, being a ballboy there from 1990-1993 holding many. If you go on you tube and search classic warrington tries, there's a gary mercer chip and collect try against Cas I think ,where I jump up and down on him after like an utter bell.

wow whens that happening ....? 2099 hopefully ...
I dont want to be around when there is only one bridge crossing at bridge foot...
the original old bridge crossing looks to be pedestrianised in that picture.
if everyone's got hoverboards it wont be a problem I suppose.

| I'd assume it remains one way with the way back into town going over the bridge off Bevan Island so that they can develop the waterfront as part of the town centre.
