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? |

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. |

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!!) |
