Blind side johnny Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 During the empty days that I am currently occupying I have been looking into the depths of my cupboards, digging out some old memories. Amongts them is this programme of our final game at Mount pleasant before the relocation to our new ground and a glorious future. It is worth looking at the artist's impression of "New Crown Flatt" as it was then dubbed and the present day reality. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The artist's impression is fairly similar now we have the terracing behind the sticks. Be good to get some down the other end one day. Still very proud of our stadium, especially when you think of some of the bigger clubs of the early 1990s who never really replaced their grounds - Oldham, Halifax, Swinton, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creditwhereitsdews Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I meant that they weren't replaced as rugby league grounds. A lot of teams just moved in with football clubs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had their own RL ground, now they are just tenants at a council ground, previously the soccer ground. The same can be said of Huddersfield, Wigan etc. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
