Can add to whats not been mentioned in the thread or above
Liverpool Stanley - Stanley Greyhound Stadium
London Highfield - White City Stadium
Wigan Highfield - Tunstall Lane (Pemberton)

liverpool had a chequered history.
my earliest recollections were of them playing as LIVERPOOL STANLEY....at Stanley greyhound stadium, they changed to L. CITY in 50/51 and played at Mill yard in knotty ash.
69 they moved to , and played as HUYTON at Alt Park, eventually
85 they moved to canal st, as RUNCORN HIGHFIELD (bringing them a full circle..explain later)
90 saw them move to Hoghton Road, sutton, st helens, and 91 they changed names to just HIGHFIELD
96 saw then move to Vlaerie park, prescott and another name change to PRESCOTT PANTHERS
67 they went into administation and never recovered as far as i know.

now the HIGHFIELD name.
prior to being LIVERPOOL anything, they were WIGAN HIGHFIELD 1880-1895 and 1902-1933 playing at tunstall lane, then LONDON HIGHFIELD for 1933 playing at the White City stadium for one season..then it was LIVERPOOL STANLEY (see earlier)

they did have 1 season in 1906/7 as liverpool city, but had no affiliation or connection with Highfield until later.
that single season saw a record of played 30, lost 30.
they did draw 1 v bramley, but bramley withdrew and the records were deleted,
at the end of the season they were kicked out of the league and replaced by..............................................................

....................wait for it...................................

...................EBBW VALE and MERTHYR TYDFIL

so rugby leagues expansion to south wales isnt new...its been done before over 100 years ago

Well done. I thought Halifax was on the same site but I was obviously wrong. Bramley was Barley Mow.

A certain WIGAN player.

In St.Helens? The Phoenix has always been full of Saints fans whenever I go in.

Thought you Wiganers would have mentioned Springfield Borough by now.

No

I must have read it wrong where it says "Craven Park" in really big letters on the front of the main stand

I am sure Rogues Gallery will be able to tell you all about where St. Helens Recs used to play.

It would have been if it hadn't been cancelled.

but didn't your lot move from "OLD" Craven Park to "NEW" Craven Park in 1989
