Was the original home ground on the site of the old Leigh Harriers track on Holden Road or elsewhere ? I forget.

Yes, that was one of our homes Ste. Prior to that, we were at Mather Lane, where the old 'main' stand at HP was transferred from.

I am 47 so as you can imagine I was a regular at Hilton Park but can't begin to imagine a ground at Mather Lane, whereabouts was it, near the Post Office?

Apparently on the Frog Hall Estate - I haven't a clue where that was!!

I remember reading that they put a type of "blue heritage sign" on an house on Mather Lane, where the old ground was - I think!!!

Only a small section of the map but it shows enough for you to place the ground at Mather Lane https://leigh.life/index.php?action=med ... m;in=23928 So I reckon it places the ground just about where those two industrial buildings are in the middle of the map https://goo.gl/maps/hiRRb5pB8iP2

I believe this photo was taken at Mather Lane https://leigh.life/index.php?action=med ... m;in=21755 And this was the stand in place at Mather Lane before it was taken to Hilton Park https://leigh.life/index.php?action=med ... m;in=17535

I think that was blue & white tape around it saying "Police" on it, maybe it was another crack den ?

Part of it, yes.

The ground was situated behind the top end of Rugby Rd / Henry St apparently.

The Blue 'Heritage' Plaque is exactly where you say, as you walk round the corner into Rugby Rd, it is on a lower garden wall by the pavement.
It commemorates the first match in the Northern Rugby Union, very close to this site v Leeds in 1895.

Someone told me mcnally coming back to leigh can’t see it personally

Still lives round here doesn't he, but not sure it ended on good terms be a good signing but didn't really rip up trees at Bradford- injured most of the season

And without Derek we would be in a better situation than the s**thole we are in at the moment. So 1 season in SL is worth the dire predicament we now find ourselves in. Well, congratulations DB from Maurice. You have done him proud. Wake up for God's sake. He's brought the club to it's knees. That isn't a successful owner. That's a clown (sorry Charlie!!)
