Yes.

When they moved were't the called New Hunslet?

Was that a dog track? It would have been 1980 when we played there.

I can't really remember although I visited there. I think the next ground they played at after that was a dog track stadium.

Last time we played at Parkside Geoff Gunney was coach and my hair was a lot longer.

They then moved to a greyhound Stadium then Elland Rd before their current home

Quite correct frank, it had bars everywhere but you had to pay admission to get in!

Geoff Gunney was a GB International and played RL well into his forties.

Have never been to Hunslet so glad to finally get the chance to tick that particular groundhopping box!

Get yourself into 'Dewsbury Moor Social Club' Matt for a cheap beer. 5 mins from the ground.

Would not surprise me if Hunslet make this all ticket. They only have one stand which holds 2500, but it is a nice one !!!

Leigh should win, but stranger things have happened.!!

I remember when they played at the Greyhound Stadium and had those Americian football goal posts up with only one post instead of the two the post supporting the crossbar was postioned on the dead ball line and Geoff piggy Fletcher ran thro to score much to his delite
before putting the ball over what he thought was the tryline but was in fact the dead ball line
his face was a picture when the ref disallowed it

Was just going to post the same DS about the American Footy posts from the early New Hunslet days , now they were weird



Anyone any pics ?

me neither Matt, there and Workington, thought I would get the chance when we were "relegated" , our reprieve has denyed me the chance of Worky but now with the cup draw, I can also experience Hunslet.

Good draw.....think I'll be going to my 1st away game this season.

I think it's now called the John Charles Sports Academy or something similar. And we were and we did

cheap beer yes, but close to dewsbury ground n your playing hunslet.

Minor point on here is that they prefer cheap ale to rugby anyday

You dont want to go into the Dewsbury Road Social its all members i think?

We have a nice bar in the stadium called the Phoenix Bar and you can enjoy a drink in there before, at half time, and also at full time. Friendly atmosphere and good banter.

Looking forward to this game should be a belter. I think you will be too strong for us like but i thought Halifax would be also. If you do knock us out i would like to see Leigh go on to win the comp.

We as fans are delighted to be in the quarter's after the last few seasons we have had, we have come a long way since been the worst team in Pro Rugby League to beating and knocking out the favourites to win the NRC and also the Championship. See you all soon!!!!

Funnily enough, Workington is the only other one that I've not been to (Catalans and South Wales don't count while we've never played them!)

We played a team in Cardiff once called South Wales.
We got beat

1997 season? Remember it happening but was only an occasional attendee at that point.

I have seen Leigh win at every Championship clubs' grounds apart fromToulouse and Gateshead.

South Wales only started this season so that's not my fault and at Toulouse I expect a win there just to show Tipster Ste

Poss 97 season, It was a balmy summers evening in Cardiff in the worst playing season I can remember (yet I enjoyed it more then than I do now



).

Remember thinking we would be playing at 'the' Cardiff Arms Park only to be somewhat dissapointed that we played at the mini Arms Park



Gotta say I'm looking forward to the Hunslet game, be nice to go back to a ground that we havn't been to for quite a while.

Category B supporter,Matt



FYI - Members of the Salmon Army was in attendance at that match, just so you know



IIRC David Ingram scored 4 tries for us that day, despite a very heavy defeat.

Are you sure ?

You're living the past mate!
