It was horrible watching that last night!

Rugby League 2 is available on PC? There I was thinking my scratched ps2 disc had ruined my chances of enjoying that game again!

I have done & you are right, I now wish I hadn't.
Such memories.........
When my Wife & I bought our 1st house in Latchford in the very early 80's I would walk to Wilderspool & back & each Sunday afternoon my Wife would get a Sunday Roast ready for 5pm when I got home. I was always freezing cold because it was Winter RL then.

| That's heart breaking - the only saving grace is that without the rest of the Fletcher End there, I can kid myself it's not really the scoreboard!
I used to drive from Macclesfield, park at my mums in Burgess Ave and walk over the field onto the Causeway

| Sad day, indeed.
It's almost been like torture in the last couple of months, driving past and seeing chunks disappear.
Every other Sunday (and Friday nights for A-Team games) from 1979-2003, now gone.
I feel like playing The Last Post.
It's still our home (in my eyes, and always will be)
B0ll0cks to having dry feet after you've been for "a gypsy's", Wilderspool for ever.

| Remember going there with my dad for my first RL game at 11 with my dad, I couldn't get enough of the atmosphere and was hooked straight away, changing ends with my mates each game, the smell of deep heat as you walked past the changing rooms.
Gutted!

| Not wanting to be pedantic IW, because I know exactly the smell you mean, back then I don't think Deep Heat was available, that smell came from a bottle of oil called Wintergreen.

I used to love that smell. Always wash your hands after applying though!

| I had the misfortune to deposit a small blob of Wintergreen on to my personal and private parts...I spent a good ten minutes under a running tap of cold water before the agony subsided.

I used to slow down walking past it, I can still smell it now when I think about it, what a ground!

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |
|
| My parents met at Wilderspool 60 odd years ago. My dad and his mates would move out of the way of my mum and her mates...................... so she knocked him over the wall that encircled the pitch. Seems we had some troublemakers even back then.
