Probabley the league, 95-96 i think, i was at the same game, Andy Currier was playing for us aswell, we got beat 26-8 or something like that.

Yep that sounds like the one. Andy Currier!

Quote ="philipk"covered a game there earlier this season - and for those of you who havent been there or not been for a while its nice and tidy but small. open terracing at both ends - houses back right on to the ground at one end ( thats Post office road) and a couple of decent stands for seating the main thing you notice is how tiny the pitch is - the Halliwell it most definitely is not in that regard and they know how to play it Really passionate supporters who hopefully will really turn out in the way Barrow fans did on sunday - Fev will give this is a real go and wont need any motivation'" maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Warri ... 8&t=h&z=10

Nope............Post Office Road. It was famous for its slope.

Thrum Hall didn't have a slope. Or not when I ever went.

I recall Thrum Hall having a massive slope. One of us must have been drinking too much beer.

Bloody hell Andy Currier!

No wonder we lost.

Probably me...........was getting mixed up with Fartown........was thinking Huddersfield for some reason. I actually played in a 7 a side event at Thrum Hall as well!! Yeah it did slope. Mind you that was 30 years ago!!

I wouldn't be surprised if the two televised games were:

Wakefield v Wigan

and

Featherstone v Warrington

The only reason they will put the St Helens v Catalans game on the telly would be because Mick Potter is up against his old team, but I have a sneaky feeling that we may well be on!!!

You heard it here first!!! I got the two right for the last round when nobody reckoned Catalans v Bradford

I think he was our record buy at the time

Looking back now its amusing



He was garbage.

Featherstone away

sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

U CANT SAY THAT

Does the sign on the way in read "You are now entering Featherstone - please drive like a maniac"?

I don't know mate.

Most Super League teams getting lower league opposition, apart from 4 who will play each other. Makes 2 games.........two games that the BBC wanted so that they could show all Super League affairs.

Sounds a bit fishy to me.......

Nah, don't think we paid anything for him.

I believe it said..

"This is a local place for local people"

did we play feth the year we went wembley in the 90`s....oh by the way i like the person who rigged this draw..very nice person

you will get a shock seeing it now amazing transformation in last few years, Rovers really put many super league clubs to shame with there facilaties and NO sky money

ha, ha i went to all the games V Wire in the 70s and you never once sorted us lol, just remember we are in this division because we got kicked out while been no where near relegation places at the start of super league, we averaged nearly 5k then and took nearly 10k to a semi at elland rd before lyndsay and co nearly destroyed our club. we are slowly heading back with a new ground in the planning helped along by our 17 acres of land we own. WE WILL BE BACK

oh yes - i think the term plenty of undulations might be applicable to the pitch at Post Office Road and the wolves players will have the crowd breathing down their neck so they'd better be prepared

and i dont think there are any of those odd signs that people have been mentioning as you get into the village - thats what Fev is in case youve never been - you need M62 off at Jct 31 for Normanton and first lights are signed for Featherstone - its about 3-4 miles from there .

The pitch slope is still there in all its glory, my amateur team played on it the other night at it is daunting going up it. Featherstone is a village and has a unique crowd record that being a dozen bigger than the 14k population. We are very passionate fans, many of us remembering our glory days in the 70s and very, very bitter about the way were booted out of the top flight to allow PSG in.Rovers are brilliant with junior teams buying the U9s i coached a new kit, the open age side new subs coats they let us play on there pitch under lights. Rovers are some way down the line to getting a new stadium with a 50 million sports hub. Many of us are looking forward to seeing us play the wire as we havent for many years, Lyndsay saw to that

Cannot wait to go back there, bring back all the glorious 80's and memories, some good, some bad.
