Just to re activate this thread HP looks really sad now no trace of both stands.

Very surreal to drive down Atherleigh Way and see the back fence of B&Q right the way across



Just wish they'd get rid of either end now and have done with it.

It looks awful having drove past today.

Gona be driving past 2moz for the 1st time since they started pulling it down........think there will be a lump in my throat in the morn.

And both these lads on the coaching staff last week in Cardiff for Wales V England RU. Bet they were thinking about Hilton Park........

Anyone remember Eddie Kidd ripping up the whole pitch one cold Thursday night early 1980's on his two wheeler.

The old supporters bar (mick maytin) the bar ran the whole level hand side as you walked in from the gable end of the stand.

Thats Mike Davis not Mike Ford.

Good job I didn't copyright all the photos I originally posted

What great memories we all have,some going further back than others,I recall being lifted over the turnstile & then lifted over the wall around the pitch & sitting on the afore mentioned benches whilst my father & grandfather were in the paddock just behind & to my left.
I to had a miners helmet painted red & white &also at some time early 70`s a very loud wooden rattle.
I remember Joe Walsh coming off once with blood pumping out of a head wound,the smell of winter green comes to mind,running on the pitch to pat my heroes on the back or get an autograph.Lets hope we get as much plaesure out of the new place.

You know, that crossed my mind and I think you're right. But he's a dead ringer. And perhaps Ford was never that fast!

Lost 35-0 that day IIRC, with over 12500 packed into HP!!!

They WERE!!!!! the days!!

yup Snowy good old WINTER Rugby

Look at the crowd it looks like a summers day.

Looks like early season (I think I have that game somewhere, we got battered- again)

Start of global warming.

Played end of Aug/Early Sept IIRC!!



It was 80+ degrees, thats for sure!

Mick Davis- great player and entertainer

leigh fans chanting we will see you on the b&q then getting chased round hilton park by hull fans early 80s
