Wandering pete Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Would you include cup matches on Conference grounds against senior clubs? I'm up to 96 grounds..84 in England/Wales..11 in France...1 in Spain but if Mayfield v Barrow in the Cup is allowed that would be 97.A further 31 Conference grounds gives a grand total of 128 grounds where RL has been watched. My rarity is RSC Lescure Arthes...just outside Albi...on a superb Easter weekend that included Albi on the Saturday,RSC on Sunday and finishing with Catalans v Salford on Easter Monday...formidable!

Did three (full games!) in a day during the 1991-92 season: December 1st Batley 8 Keighley Cougars 23 (1.0, Division Three, 1,027) Bramley 20 Whitehaven 17 (3.30, Division Three, 517) Wakefield Trinity 8 Warrington 12 (6.15, Division One, 3,421) One of my brothers came along for the ride. Great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ex Featherstone player told me that while they were playing there, the Away Dressing Room got robbed, despite the Huyton Official giving the Featherstone kit man the door key! sure your auntie had some tales to tell, but for the record that area wasn't the worst part of Huyton back then... BTW it has been smartened up, well some of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Cru there's Chester RU and Cefn Druids. I think that quite a few on here went to Alt Park, it's just that we're all desperate to put the experience out of our minds! When did London play at Wealdstone? I never knew that! A Tesco now... Some great lists here, very impressive. Certainly putting my meagre collection of 22 to shame!

September '86, and they won 32-18. If anyone on here wants a prime example of a club falsifying a gate figure this is your game. Rothmans gives it as 950, other sources 350. In fact the crowd consisted almost entirely of the 20 or so of us Fulham supporters that went up on the team coach so it probably didn't even make 50 paying spectators!
