nonbelievers Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 London have had more grounds than shirts..... Since 1980 there's been home games played at: The Cottage, The Bridge, Widnes, Palace sports centre, Chiswick Poly, Wealsdon, Griffin Park, Hendon, Copthall Arena, The Valley, The stoop, Barnet 2 and now Ealing....we took games on the road to carcaison, Tynecastle, Leicester and Bridgened as well as Orient and Gillingham...not forgetting Hersham and Wycombe Ealing is a perfect ground for the club in its current incarnation, but once again, should they be in the top flight I suspect that they will return to Brentford, which was I am reliably informed was the only ground they called home where they actually grew attendances!

themainbrace Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think Crusaders played at Chester RUFC last season for at least one match. Did they also play at Eirias Park, Colwyn Bay in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the gridiron style goalposts, outlawed by the RFL “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

Huddersfield played at Rifle Field before moving to Fartown. This was obviously before the merger which led to the formation of the Huddersfield Cricket & Athletic Club and before the 1895 schism.

Of course, hence my post. There is a short street called Rifle Fields in Springwood. I don't know whether it is on the site of the original sports field.

BeerGrills Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Swinton have used Chorley Road, Station Road, Burnden Park, Maine Road, Giggle Lane, Park Lane, Moor Lane, LSV, Heywood Road, and the Willows as home grounds that I have known of. North Wales Cru have used Racecourse, Chester RFU, Queensway, and Cefn Druids that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giggle Lane's a new one on me. Not a terribly appropriate nickname given that it's next to the cemetery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
