| Now this is a good thread, hope you dont mind
The things I miss are:
1. All the different cups that were played for, (John Player / Regal Trophy, Lancashire cup and BBC2 floodlight trophy)
2. The smell of winter green when the players ran out. (Dont seem to get that waft anymore)
3. All the old rugby grounds: Hilton Park, Central Park, Naughton Park, Knowsley Road, Wilderspool, Boulevard and Station Road to mention a few.
4. Swapping "ends" at half time
5. Freezing cold during winter rugby
6. Getting in for a quid
7. Driving to away grounds before Sat Navs (once went to the wrong Bramley, there is one near Doncaster)
8. Replica shirts with the towns crest on - bit of a bug bear for me this one
Ahh the good old days eh!!!

I remember one of the London incarnations playing Yakkety Sax, aka the Benny Hill tune, wen we entered the field. Maybe it was them?

| Geoff that was my favourite team when I first started going to Central Park although Jackie Cunliffe was there before Griffiths, so many memories, tell you what I don't miss and that's going to Watersheddings or Crown Flatt Dewsbury on a cold wet winters day, by god they were cold stadiums,

Whenever fans say they would go back to winter RL my bones remind me of Oldham
