When I was a young lad in the 50s/60s I used to know all the names of the 30 rugby league teams. Now I can never even remember the name of Saints' ground. Here are some that bring back memories:
Barley Mow
Fartown
Tattersfield
Knotty Ash...Alt Park
Central Park!
Wilderspool
Hilton Park
Knowsley Road
Post Office Road
Station Road
Lawkholme Lane
The Recreation Ground
Watersheddings
The Boulevard
Parkside
Naughton Park
Craven Park
Craven Park
Crown Flatt
Belle Vue
Can't think of Rochdale's. Was Blackpool's Borough Park?
Of course some haven't changed but not many...Headingly, The Willows, Thrum Hall.
Can everyone name the teams that played at the above venues?

Rochdale = The Athletic Grounds

I thought "The Willows" was referred to as Weaste until Snape bought Salford.
Didn't that co-inside with the opening of the club?

Thrum Hall was knocked down years ago, Salty.

Barley Mow - Batley
Fartown - Huddersfield
Tattersfield - Doncaster
Knotty Ash...Alt Park - Huyton?
Central Park! - Isn't that a Scottish football ground? Cowdenbeath?


Wilderspool - Warrington
Hilton Park - Leyth
Knowsley Road - St Helens
Post Office Road - Featherstone
Station Road - Swinton
Lawkholme Lane - Keighley
The Recreation Ground - Whitehaven
Watersheddings - Oldham
The Boulevard - Hull FC
Parkside - Hunslet?
Naughton Park - Widnes
Craven Park - Hull KR
Craven Park - Barrow
Crown Flatt - Dewsbury
Belle Vue - Wakefield


How did I do?

You got them 2 the wrong way round.......

Barley Mow - Batley
Fartown - Huddersfield
Tattersfield - Doncaster
Knotty Ash...Alt Park - Huyton?
Central Park! - Isn't that a Scottish football ground? Cowdenbeath?


Wilderspool - Warrington
Hilton Park - Leyth
Knowsley Road - St Helens
Post Office Road - Featherstone
Station Road - Swinton
Lawkholme Lane - Keighley
The Recreation Ground - Whitehaven
Watersheddings - Oldham
The Boulevard - Hull FC
Parkside - Hunslet?
Naughton Park - Widnes
Craven Park - Hull KR
Craven Park - Barrow
Crown Flatt - Dewsbury
Belle Vue - Wakefield

You beat me to it, but I think Bramley played at Barley Mow and Batley I think still play at Mount Pleasant

Didn't Doncaster also play at Belle Vue?

Bugger, I meant to write Bramley all along (though they were playing at Headingley the last time they were in the pro ranks).


The old football ground, yeah, but only once they'd left Tattersfield.

point of fact, isn't HKR New Craven Park

Can anyone guess who the Bigfellas Stadium is the home of?.

Featherstone Rovers. Regarding Knotty Ash and Alt Park, The first one was when they were Liverpool City, the second one was the grave error of moving to Huyton.

Who played at Canal St?

Dont know if you noticed but there the names of grounds in the past, hence why HKR's ground used to be called Craven Park.

Correct.

Runcorn Highfield

featherstone

first game on the rename ground was v wakey

Can add to whats not been mentioned in the thread or above
Liverpool Stanley - Stanley Greyhound Stadium
London Highfield - White City Stadium
Wigan Highfield - Tunstall Lane (Pemberton)

liverpool had a chequered history.
my earliest recollections were of them playing as LIVERPOOL STANLEY....at Stanley greyhound stadium, they changed to L. CITY in 50/51 and played at Mill yard in knotty ash.
69 they moved to , and played as HUYTON at Alt Park, eventually
85 they moved to canal st, as RUNCORN HIGHFIELD (bringing them a full circle..explain later)
90 saw them move to Hoghton Road, sutton, st helens, and 91 they changed names to just HIGHFIELD
96 saw then move to Vlaerie park, prescott and another name change to PRESCOTT PANTHERS
67 they went into administation and never recovered as far as i know.

now the HIGHFIELD name.
prior to being LIVERPOOL anything, they were WIGAN HIGHFIELD 1880-1895 and 1902-1933 playing at tunstall lane, then LONDON HIGHFIELD for 1933 playing at the White City stadium for one season..then it was LIVERPOOL STANLEY (see earlier)

they did have 1 season in 1906/7 as liverpool city, but had no affiliation or connection with Highfield until later.
that single season saw a record of played 30, lost 30.
they did draw 1 v bramley, but bramley withdrew and the records were deleted,
at the end of the season they were kicked out of the league and replaced by..............................................................

....................wait for it...................................

...................EBBW VALE and MERTHYR TYDFIL





so rugby leagues expansion to south wales isnt new...its been done before over 100 years ago

Well done. I thought Halifax was on the same site but I was obviously wrong. Bramley was Barley Mow.

A certain WIGAN player.

In St.Helens? The Phoenix has always been full of Saints fans whenever I go in.

Thought you Wiganers would have mentioned Springfield Borough by now.

No

must of heard them wrong when they have said it many times on sky

I must have read it wrong where it says "Craven Park" in really big letters on the front of the main stand
