Quote: chissitt "If I'm honest charlie I haven't seen them play as I'm too involved watching sooper dooper league at the moment although that's about to change very soon.
I'm sure all these clubs you mention contribute to a good second tier of English rugby, but they aren't consistent enough to challenge Leigh and Bradford which is what I mean't, and fwiw I do read about them in the LE as all those Yorkshire clubs have a fair amount of ex Wakey players in. I also used to like travelling to away fixtures but I'm far more selective now for various reasons.
Out of interest charlie, ever been to the Barley Mow ground or Parkside or a bit nearer home the gasworks opposite Turners bus park on Rigby Rd.'"
Good Morning Chissy, hope you are well?In response to your reply, I have been to the Barley Mow and Parkside a few times, as for the Rigby Rd ground,Chissy my name is Charlie C
I love the place bee on Borough Park many times , even to watch the Greyhounds race,and been to Crown Flats, Fartown,and the Boulevard ,I've been watching Leigh for around 55 years now ,good and bad and loved every minute.
You are right about the palatial LSV we Leythers are very lucky to have such a ground , but it's not always been beer and skittles ,in the owd Hilton Park days.
I have been to Bell Vue many times as well, seen the great Neil Fox,along with Derek Turner, Harold Poynton,and a South African winger called Gert Coetzer,when Wakey had a good team.
