Next you'll be telling me you never had to use Izal toilet paper. We had both an inside and outside loo. If you liked spiders and wanted to read a paper in peace, and without nodding off, could be considered to be ideal.

| Sorry BH, MPN got that one correct it was indeed Johno, who then went on to coach but resigned after the 80-0 defeat away to Saints.
Next one could be a bit tricky:
What cunning plan did Wire use to avoid paying water rates at the HJ stadium ?

Who on earth invented Izal ? Its like trying to paint on PTFE.
Grandad use to cut up the Guardian and use that in his toilet which he referred to as 'the privy'. I only went in there when I played ball in the back yard and it started to rain... well, I assume it was rain, you could never tell what grandad would get up to.

Was that something to do with collecting all the water from the high tec guttering on the stands and using it to water the pitch?

I cannot help but ask if that's your answer to Winslades question, or your toilet facilities in days gone by? Just to be sure!

They used water from a sewage farm on the HJ pitch.

Thats a bit of a crap answer BH. Perhaps I led you astray with my grandads privy ?
BW gets the points on this one. As we all know the HJ is built on the former site of a certain well known brewery which had its own well.
Next question:
Who scored 7 tries in a match for Wire ?

Perhaps he did both then ? Certainly they didn't get paid much back in the day. Or perhaps he sold insurance after his Blackpool days ?
