Oh I see so the Big lettering on the back of our main stand facing the car park has been wrong for the last 20 years



I will ring the club tomorrow and tell them the NEW is missing



Or....maybe its because its CRAVEN PARK and not NEW CRAVEN PARK

When Rovers played Keighley at (new) CP about 7/8 years ago.
Keighley won and then after the hooter the Keighley players got on their hands and knees, put their hands on the back of the player in fronts knees (in a sort of train) and crawled about the pitch.
It was crazy.

I think it was one of the loudest cheers in the second half

Was walking into Wilderspool for a Wire v Wigan game and Wigan were warming up in front of the Fletcher St end. Martin Offiah was quite close and I shouted "Martin" really loud and he looked over at me. I then said "made you look" and carried on walking to my usual spot.

Fax V Sheffield 2007, my mate went up for the half time kick and catch competition and failed dismally. I had a hunch he was going to mess it up so I managed to capture the whole thing on video



He still swears at me whenever that day is mentioned!!

Youtube is your (and not his) friend...

...except Rikki Sheriffe.

That Warrington try at the start of the second half last night was the funniest thing I've seen for years.

Paul Wellens falling over in thin air has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen at a game. It was the 03 challenge cup I think. He’s had a fair few falling over’s though..

Agreed.

Yes it was a definate LOL moment

HKR v Batley being stopped after the ref spotted the Bulldog making a rude sign at him from behind the posts.

I don't think anyone else noticed, so not all refs are blind.

I remember that ... Trying not to laugh !



IIRC, there was a bit of a flurry of tartan travel rugs and flasks of tea when it landed too inside it.

Your old ground, when it was down Holderness Road, was called Craven Park. Was it moved lock, stock & barrel to it's new location on the combined swamp/wind tunnel? Or would that be a 'new' Craven Park that was built off Poorhouse Lane?

Indeed it was at that time a new Craven Park. However, that does not make it New Craven Park.

A saints game once, think it was Mark Edmondson. Was clean through and it was like he hit a spring board, he just went flying through the air with no one near him.

Think the point is, can it still justifiably be called New Craven Park after already been there for 20 years

Better tell the Yanks to rename New York.

You know what I mean!

no not really

I was at an amateur game once that was delayed because the ref got lost, and all the players were waiting on the pitch for ages as he frantically got changed, inspected both teams, did the coin toss etc. When the game finally kicked off, the ref blew his whistle, took two steps, slipped over and stayed down. It turned out he had badly twisted his ankle and the game had to be delayed again while everyone worked out what to do. He ended up carrying on and spending the rest of the match hobbling around on one foot.

Another one at Griffin Park a few years ago, Zeb Luisi booted the ball behind for a drop out and it hit a photographer square in the face. The camera went flying and the impact knocked him back into a deep brown puddle.

Apart from the fact it has NEVER officially been called NEW CRAVEN PARK
