Got my copy the other day. Riggy's right, it is a good write up.
However, I had to email them about 3 errors they made in it.
1 - It says the Agecroft site is "less than a mile" from Station Road. Not true, it's 2.3 miles going via Station Road, Bolton Road and Agecroft Road. Perhaps the "less than a mile" was the distance between Station Road and the previous ground, Chorley Road.
2 - A certain "Jonny" Stopford is mentioned. As we all know, Stopford's name was spelled "Johnny" not Jonny.
3 - The 1964 Challenge Cup replay against Wigan at Station Road (26,891 attendance) is mentioned as a Wednesday evening kick off. Wrong again, floodlights didn't appear at Station Road til the end of '64. The match started at 3.30pm, Wednesday 12 February, 1964 and finished with the Lions as victors 13-8. What a memorable day for any fan who was there that afternoon. Oh dear! I must be showing my age again.

Congratulations to Lee Wingfield, a nice award to pick up and well deserved. He's played a big part in the upturn of fortunes for the Lions. He can toast that while his ribs get better!
Rugby League - great game, shame about the administration.
