Cracking stuff ! If only............

looks better all them years ago then it does now its hard to believe how fare we have as a club let things reach the bottom off the barrel the state facility's are in now are in very poor condition to say were suppose to be a city club . lets hope for better facility's in the future but i wont believe it till they actually start building. Planning permission means nothing if we get it look at cas .

"But look at Wakefield, playing superb textbook rugby!"

Ah, if only...

Christ, that's pessimistic even for this board

I was lucky and grew up in that era.
Was a young teenager and attended all three cup final wins , the final loss to Leeds in 68 and the championship final triumphs in 67 n 68 or were they 66 n 67 ? memory not what it was.

Won the Championship in 1967 beating St. Helens (21-7 I think) at Station Road, Swinton in a replay after a 7-7 draw at Headingley and in 1968 beating Hull KR 17-10 at Headingley.

I know because I was there

It's a flash site so won't work on my iPhone

Wonder what the attendance was in the 1925 game ! not much health and safety there with folk supporters on 2 sides of the ground sat directly on the side of the pitch.
Oh the good old days....................

I have just seen the photo in wakefield Express of the Trinity & wigan teams of 1947. This was the first match that I Went to , been supporting them ever since
Ah for the good old days of rugby

Surrounding buildings are more or less still there, spooky.

if you follow the link and watch the finals at wembley will see camera men encroach onto the pitch to get better photos, infact I'm sure one of Trinity tries could of got under the sticks but due to the imbecile getting in the way foxy had to convert it from 5 yrds in from the touch line
