It isn't, it's 24. It's the 25th season of SL but it's still only 24 years old and it's getting right on my unmentionables!! Rant over.

Not far geographically from Warrington but a million miles away in RL culture, watch the Yorkshire TV documentary featuring Huyton v Doncaster at the ALT PARK STADIUM (Huyton)in 1980.

Is that the one on BFI Player? Another Bloody Sunday?

This game was played at Tattersfield Doncaster

Thanks for all your recommendations and contributions. They are really appreciated.

Please keep them coming!

Stanley Park The Oval Ground Blackpool

Never saw Sunday Bloody Sunday , so just watched it now , The Late Hits and spear tackles (which seemed legal) where horrendous . Amazing to see how bad it was back then and the coaching was just about getting stuck in and certainly not always legally , £12 Losing pay to get beaten up

. Must have been the most Amateur filming and tv show of its time , but it told a perfectly true story

It's an absolutely superb documentary. I'd never seen it before.

Sunday Bloody Sunday ,never seen it ,where is it available please ?

On the subject of Alt Park ,i remember going watching a Wire game there just after it opened & we were stood on duck boards .I believe there was also a lot of player involvement in the building of Alt Park.
I have faint memories of Knotty Ash , where Huyton played as Liverpool Stanley/City.

A ground i love is Keighley with its cricket pitch next door,a bit like a rustic Headingley.

It's actually titled Another Bloody Sunday and is available on BFI Player or You Tube.

Runcorn Highfield moved into St Helens in 1990, quickly changed their name to Highfield, and played at St Helens Town AFC's ground Houghton Road until 1993. Another stadium which hosted RL that has now long gone.

I used to go if Saints didn't have a game.

Not to be confused with Black Sabbath .

The “oval ground” is still going in some respects. It’s an athletics track with a grass pitch in the middle that the council will allow to be used for rugby as long as you grovel. The other pitches on Stanley park for rugby were removed by the council 2-3 years ago so Blackpool Stanley had to move a Mile away to kingscote park Instead.

Who played at Springfield Park , was it a team from Wigan or am i dreaming and getting mixed up ?

Wigan Athletic football ground...

LEEDS once played somebody there maybe in a challenge cup tie ?

Springfield Borough who later changed there name to Chorley Borough

Thank you

Blackpool Borough became Springfield Borough and played there in 1987. They became Chorley or Trafford Borough after that.

There is also a ground called Springfield Park in London, Hackney RFC, but I don't think any league has been played there.

Lancashire Lynx played at Deepdale Rd, home of Preston N.E. in the late 90's.
In the early 00's they reverted to Chorley Lynx, at Victory Park Chorley.

While this is helpful, it is not really much use to me unless I can find people who are forthcoming with their memories and want to share them, which is proving difficult.
