'An utterly impartial history of Britain' is also a good read

Apologies if it's been mentioned previously but Hell comes to Frogtown with 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper is one I always find hilarious.
An affectionate spoof of the supporting B feature is a film called Cry Wolf which I remember as the support for Airplane.

If they did, it'd explain a plunge in viewing figures at Granada !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think that ITV presenters are attached to the Met Office. According to Wikipedia, the BBC presenters are actually employed by the Met Office.
I don't think the weather forecast presentation has moved to Salford.
Probably because it's usually raining in Lancashire. The best you can hope for is dull and overcast.
ITV weather forecasts supplied by the Met Office. Both BBC & ITV use a mix of genuine forecasters & presenters (don't get me started on some of their 'personalities' however as having worked with several . . . . . ).
FYI I'm ex Met. Office & my 'test' broadcast was for the weather in Lancashire ! (Think I was rejected as did forecast as a rap as was after a good lunch
) -
I watched the new Daybreak this morning.
Not much different from the old one, except: -
- ITV has pinched Laura Tobin from the BBC to do the weather. They should never have got rid of Kirsty McCabe, she was brilliant.
In other words she's moved from one section of the Met Office to another. Perhaps she didn't fancy moving to Salford with BBC ? (FYI BBC forecasters used to be based at White City with ITV based at building on south bank near National Theatre).

Good turnout for August & prime holiday season, most people don't appreciate the way France behaves in August & the mass migration that occurs.

Which alleged rugby league loving "celebrities" have you only ever seen at rugby league events that entailed them getting freebies?
Michael Parkinson
Bernard Cribbins
Duncan Preston
Kevin Whateley
Brian Glover
Colin Welland
Would you like to tell me the freebies Colin Welland got at all those games at Chiswick Poly when he went to Fulham games there ?
IIRC all Brian Glover got for travelling up from Brighton where he was performing in a play to present the LARL trophy on finals day at East London was a drink from the committee.

so what have we got so far.
To my original list I overlooked
Darlington even though I was at the game;
Boothferry Park
Salford Fc, Moor Lane
Thrum Hall
Maine Road
Elland Road
Workington FC
When was Elland Road dog track used?
Any confirmation on Reading, was this the Madjeski or the old ground Elm Park
Did South Wales use Ebbw Vale
Thats over 130 now and I bet there are still more to come.
Most of these post date the grounds of rugby league book rather than predate it.
There seem to be few football league grounds not used in the heartlands, Burnley, Everton and Tranmere plus Accrington on the fringes are all in Lancashire. What about Stockport? everyone in Yorkshire ( unless you count Middlesbrough which would be a thread of it's own) has staged games
The Madejski was used for a World Cup game involving New Zealand in last WC played in UK. The Paul brothers appeared at a Reading football game to help promote it by performing their single !
