I believe this photo was taken at Mather Lane https://leigh.life/index.php?action=med ... m;in=21755 And this was the stand in place at Mather Lane before it was taken to Hilton Park https://leigh.life/index.php?action=med ... m;in=17535

I remember reading that they put a type of "blue heritage sign" on an house on Mather Lane, where the old ground was - I think!!!

I think that was blue & white tape around it saying "Police" on it, maybe it was another crack den ?

Part of it, yes.

The ground was situated behind the top end of Rugby Rd / Henry St apparently.

The Blue 'Heritage' Plaque is exactly where you say, as you walk round the corner into Rugby Rd, it is on a lower garden wall by the pavement.
It commemorates the first match in the Northern Rugby Union, very close to this site v Leeds in 1895.

Alan without Derek we would not have reached SL, we would be losing about 100k per season mid table in the championship

And without Derek we would be in a better situation than the s**thole we are in at the moment. So 1 season in SL is worth the dire predicament we now find ourselves in. Well, congratulations DB from Maurice. You have done him proud. Wake up for God's sake. He's brought the club to it's knees. That isn't a successful owner. That's a clown (sorry Charlie!!)
