Do you know something we don't?

I can tell you that the Leigh Asda store is one of the biggest moneymakers in the Northwest (After Wi8an) They have been looking to expand for years and tried to buy the piece of spare land between Patak's and Sainsbury's!

Amen.

Like Matt said it's probably for the best that we move on into our new stadium and start a new era of Leigh Centurions.

I'm upset HP is going but obviously we have to move on now.

We've all got so many memories but I didn't want to see the old girl decay any further, it's really taken some stick the last 12 months or so from complete idiots who need flogging publically in my opinion.

RIP HP we'll all have many happy memories from the past

Glad the place isn't going to be left to rot away. We all have our memories of HP so it's good that it's finally going to make way for something new. Wonder if there'll be a few hauntings in whatever is built there, after all there were quite a few ashes spread on the HP turf.

I had a dream last night that just before the scoreboard was demolished the clock started working again

I watched it being demolished today and I've got to say it was very sad seeing all the seats being ripped out!

I'd like more pictures.... difficult for those working out of the town but these should be taken for prosperity.

Mr Chairman put me down for one

It was me who took the pictures at the top of the thread and I've got loads. I'm going to go every day to see what 'progress' is being made - I'm sorry but being new to this site I wasn't sure whether you could post photos!

If it's allowed then I'll post them with pleasure.

a good idea would be to sign up to something like photobucket, its free then you just post the link saves you scanning piccies and all that.

They'd have to find it first!

I know! I know! I know! sir sir I know!

Yeah I have a photobucket account so I'll try it that way - thanks.

Was hoping to take a few photos myself but not much good in the dark - post as many as possible and make sure you save them on an external drive; you'll never be able to take them again

I'm struggling to get them on to be honest. I normally just post the pics - I do have a photobucket account but I've never used it this way, so I'm just trying to suss it out - please be patient with me.

either that or download a free slideshow maker and upload it to youtube as a movie - save it as a WMV or AVI file.



Or if using XP or Vista try windows moviemaker but remember to save file as above

I've finally managed to put my photos on You tube and i'm going to wait until I've photographed the whole demolition and put the 'Entry of the Gladiators' track on. I'm not sure which link you use on this site so I'll just use this - let me know if it's wrong - thanks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb18BnYl8Sk

link works great great pics but sad moments

And to top it off its a bloody Wiganer wrecking our ground!!

The foreman was telling me that he also knocked Central Park down - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing!!

This is a [url=http://www.photobox.co.uk/slideshow?album_id=85650349Link[/url to a few photos of "The Old Girl".

Some from "Parky's swansong" - the rest from the last game.
Even included - a shot of the most famous 'facilities' in rugby league!!





Apologies for the quality - they were taken with a crappy phone camera!!

Good pics Walt.............. time to move on though ...HP was knackered but still holds plenty of memories.... even played there as a schoolboy and won..

I realy cant say anythin really other thn it wil be missed.

Bogs and turnstiles - quality
