And some would say that The Willows (Salford) hasn't been used for Rugby league for a while

I saw Fartown play at Craven Cottage about 1981. No RL there now.

Where did Kent Invicta play

remember going to old rochdale ground and it was pouring down all match and a female streaker appeared
also what about wigginton road - york
station road - swinton
elland road - to watch hunslet
and across the road from there to watch fartown at hunslet ground with posts like american football
blackpools ground by the tower
alt park in huyton listening to cars been blown up

also went to old craven park to watch fartown against hull kr
tattersfield - doncaster
belle vue wak-sorry doncaster
crown flatt - dewsbury

is that the one where there was a river or canal behind the main stand and the balls often got kicked into after a penalty



If so it was one of the roughest places i have ever been i remember it was one scary place. I remember seeing Geoff Fletcher player and manager of huyton a real RL man but as big, ugly and as mean as you could get, rushing out of the shop or bar ( he did everything there) and his toupe falling off. We all wanted to laugh but were far too scared

BRUNTON PARK -CARLISLE

The ground at Huyton [Liverpool - can't remember it's name. We had 2 forms of entertainment their:

Roots Hall at Southend to watch us play Southend Invicta

Cannot remeber name of the ground at Gravesend where we played Kent Invivta

Plus all the others as listed above except the Isle of Man - when did we play there?

barley mow - you must be older than my granny

didnt know that i always thought it was london road, maidstone as kent invicta then roots hall ,southend as southend invicta !

Imagine Fletcher when Swalesy had pinched his Wig after we played em!!

Dont be cheeky young un

well they moved to mclaren field in 1963 or summat so you must be knocking on a bit young man

isnt it the same place the barley mow pub is still there i think

Mclaren Field was built on land adjacent to the Barley Mow i think ,i'm not 100% sure though.

York Wasps played at Clarence street off Wiggington road before they moved out to Rydale Stadium

when was that ? didnt he have like 5 spells there as coach ?

i liked our trips there - ace place to watch RL, cracking bar under the stand and the washing on the line during the game always made me chuckle.

Maine Road (manchester)
Seamer Road (scarborough)
