It actually said "Home" and "Hull FC", we don't appear to have a "Wakefield" one!

Also, the sound systems poo. that being said someone should tell the announcer that WHEN HE SHOUTS the bloody thing goes off so STOP SHOUTING DIRECTLY INTO THE MIKE YOU P

Durz was a legend!!!! god help the team that beat Crigg he used to go off on a right rage at them

"Gerreminangerremout!"

He used to chew through 3 tongues if it was a close game!

so is there a few ex Crigg players here???

I must admit I did swing the bat around in my younger days

come on lets have some names! i was only a kid when Durz dd the tins! but thet guy is a legend!

I played for Crigg in the 60s. Derek father was the scorer and a very good one. I was lucky enough to play with some really good cricketers. Greenwood,Barraclough,Buxton,Mann,Green,Froggett to name a few. We used to struggle to get a 2nd team together and turned up short for matches. I remember being in the side when we struggled to make 20!!!
Those were the days.

Buxtons lad (Andy) is now the chairman and plays when needed. top bloke.

i seem to remember the floodlights being dropped down on a pivot when they need maintenance, but i may have dreamt that. wouldn’t that mean that if we put up these magical temporary stands then we’d have to consider relocating the floodlights in order that they could be maintained?

either way i think that the temporary stands are a waste of money as it would be money out of the game and the rfl would surely it be pumped into something long term rather than transient.

Far from it; if the temp stands get us a SL franchise, then an investment of around £400k on ground improvements will result in 3 years worth of SL money, gate receipts, sponsorship, advertising and merchandise, totalling millions.

A pretty decent ROI, don't you think?

yes of course i agree with the roi, however if i were the rfl i'd prefer that 400k to go into rl rather than into the hands of the firms providing the structures. that's all i'm saying.

one thing that frustrates me here is that if we can bring the ground up to scratch for the price of a couple of family houses then why the hell didn't we do it years ago?
