I'm going for a look tomorrow before the entire thing has been pulled down.... it's heartbreaking.

People can say what they want about moving on but for alot of us it's been our lives for so long.

Bye, bye old friend

Soonest I can get down there in daylight hours is on Saturday, fear the whole place will be ripped down by then

Sad sad sad, first went there in 1981.
Does anyone know if there is anyone writing the history of the ground?

I wonder if all the bricks on the wall hve been taken down , before they start demolishing the mick martyn bar .



Dreading going to work today . having to drive passed and see whats left of the place . its upseting enough looking at the pics on here ..

Better to level the site, rather than let it go to ruin...

That's even worse than the picture of it flattened!



What a fine structure that was, particularly when bearing in mind that it was at Mather Lane for ? years before it got to HP!

What was at Mather Lane for it to be there?????

Leigh RL played at Mather Ln pre HP.....you need a history lesson.

Cheers mate, I'll have a read now

I've taken more photos today but they seem to be just clearing the site so I'll wait until they take down the Tommy Sale stand and post them all together - I'll be going every day until it's all gone!

Are they leaving the concrete terracing up or are they leaving that up to the developers to demolish?

If they leave the terracing then they will have to fully enclose the site with fencing to stop kids hurting themselves. That would be costly for any length of time, methinks.

they have appeared to have flattened some between stand and scoreboard

Yeah I think the terracing will definitely go as well - I was originally told that the Tommy Sale was coming down on Friday but it may be Weekend or even next week when it comes down apparently - I didn't see the boss man today but when I go tomorrow I'll hunt him out and maybe he can tell me more.

I'll just have a quick look through my pics to see if I can see it.

Yeah you're absolutely right Fred, on ony of my pics you can clearly see that the whole section of that terrace between the scoreboard and the main stand had gone.

Sorry but I don't know how to post a pic on here - though I have posted it elsewhere.

I've emailed the photo to you Fred, maybe you can post it for me - thanks.

hows that?

Horrible

Now see youve started me with the tears again
