Wish I was self isolating with you BG them nights must fly by

I noticed the crowds had dropped off a lot by the end of the film.

Does anyone know what area the streets were, in the domestic scenes etc.

Mrs EW watched it all way through for first time.

Also Ken Trail (coach) and Paddy Armour (physio) in good scenes .

The street scenes were shot in Leeds, I believe, EW. Some of the scenes with William Hartnell were filmed at the old Thrum Hall ground of Halifax RLFC.

Or as we call it now, ASDA

Sad but true DJ.

Great stadium was thrum hall it was where I introduced my Mrs to the game on a very cold snowy winters day when fax played Wigan and lydon did a drop goal from the half way line to win in the dying seconds

I thought it was supposed to be rubbish with a slope that made Post Office road look like a bowling green? Never saw it myself, do like their new ground it’s spot on.

Thrum Hall sloped from touchline to touchline rather than tryline to tryline. A hostile 'orrible place and the scene of Wally's last appearance for Trinity. Once saw Tony Garforth of Halifax ( ex Trinity) trying to climb over the wall at the back of the sticks to get at a Wakey fam who'd been abusing him. Fortunately for said fan, Garforth was restrained by a team mate.

Been a while since I've seen the film but there were scenes at the top of Westgate outside the Timothy Whites Chemist and a punch up scene outside the Mecca. I'll have to have another scan through.

Also some scenes filmed in The Dolphin.

I was there that day and saw that incident. Garforth was obviously incensed at something said to him. pity he didn't display the same aggression on the pitch!

Is that the same Tony Handforth that played for the trinity juniors about 1965, also if it's the same, was his lad tiger Handforth?

No, this is Tony Garforth, originally signed for Trinity from Ossett Trinity.
