Cumbrian Mackem Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Defunct RL clubs like Trafford borough, Carlisle border raiders, Nottingham city, Scarborough pirates, Runcorn and Lancashire lynx on here?? im sure there’s many more defunct clubs of the past 30-40 years but these are the teams I remember seeing as a kid.

fighting irish Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm a (an ex-) fan of Cardiff Blue Dragons, Bridgend Blue Dragons, South Wales RL club, Celtic Crusaders (Bridgend), South Wales Scorpions and West Wales Raiders. Finally, the good people of Wales are building the game from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possibly the most profound observation on the subject of UK RL development in the history of making observations on the subject of UK RL development.

Cumbrian Mackem Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 RL seemed more progressive back in the 80’s&90’s regrading expansion inside and outside of the heartlands. really miss the border raiders if I’m honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Regularly went to watch Runcorn Highfield at Canal Street. Also watched them at Hoghton Road, St Helens Fc and Prescot Cables FC. Needless to say they didn't win many. When John Cogger turned up the team improved, but when he left for Oldham it all went to pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
