Thanks Rogues ,
Were they at the time trying to make themselves into a Wigan area side or was it just temporary move ? I watched Leeds there but could not remember who the team were (i am guessing it was Challenge cup)

I think it was a temporary move, I’m sure they then moved on and morphed into Trafford Borough |

Correct.
Springfield Borough moved there for a minimum 10 years but it didn't work out. This was on the BBC back in the day.

Kerry Gibson played for Runcorn Highfield and he had one arm. I think he was an Australian. |

Cheers, I knew someone somewhere had a one armed player. I'm sure boots n all did a piece on him back in the day. |

They had to leave Blackpool after new ground regs, brought in following the Bradford City fire in 1985, condemned wooden stands. Springfield was best option but the pitch took a battering and Athletic served then six months notice to leave. They first went to Chorley then Altrincham before returning to Blackpool in 1992.
They ran Leeds (22-12) and Salford (12-10) close in cups, finished one place off promotion to Division 1 and almost reached the second division Premiership Final. So they performed pretty well despite most crowds sub 1,000.
