Went down to say my final goodbyes this morning before setting off to Bratfurt,not a soul about so had a good wander around inside and out.most of the place is still intact so can't see why the club can't have a leaving 'do' think Morrisseys been in though cos the scoreboards half gone, got some cracking pics and had a tearful moment stood on windy corner, if you want to get in just head for the railway end and follow the trail.

I was in there yesterday afternoon then wandered over to the 'Quarter Bar' on Springfield Street for a party. We somehow ended up with a bottle of JD to our table. Needless to say today has been a struggle! |

I think he was referring to gutting it inside. |

I believe there are a number of urns containing supporters ashes at either end. I wonder what will happen to them.

So WTF have all those little tin pots full of "Wilderspool" turf that they were selling outside the Catalans game and consequently outside Wolfware, come from?? I thought my back garden was looking a little forlorn (if you'll pardon the 'almost' pun) Is someone taking advantage of our sentimentality and profiting from it?

I think this is about getting a piece of turf with all the extras like the number and stuff.
I was in Wolfware and a guy with a high-vis and gloves was delivering the potted turf and they had a little discussion about how much had been pulled up (not much, it was a few weeks ago).
I was the only customer in the shop. |

They did come from Wilderspool, at approximately the 20 metre line nearest the Railway End but very close to the Snookers side touchline. Those 20 to 30 small pots hardly made a dint in the pitch though. |

Any more news or pictures of the demolition?
Also, any news on where or when the turf can be ordered or collected - wasn't it meant to be a the Community event this Saturday?

I am sure we can all remember being on Wilderspool when the surface was so bad that there would not be enough turf on to fill a pot

The bulldozers have moved in, there is a pic on twitter if you search for Wilderspool and choose most recent. RIP.

Sad to see the end of that famous stadium.
Lots of memories of teams past.

Some of us can also remember Wilderspool when it was the best pitch in RL, thanks to Jackie Hamblett. |
