Lawkholme lane certainly used to be an interesting road to walk up at certain times.
Not sure now, its an age since i have been back to that bit of w yorks.
Traditional little stadium but bitterly cold at times because of where it sat in the valley.

Town end of lawkholme lane had one of the best and probably cheapest chippies i have ever known.

Now we have had peoples memories of West Yorkshire. What do people think of the game ?
I expect we will roll over and give it up as usual.

Agree, we need to win it and start to get momentum and possible exposure if we go forward. Especially as we are moving again, any exposure on TV etc has to be good, and may attract a few people to give it a go when lockdown ends ( I am not being overly optimistic and don’t expect thousands of new followers, but any would be welcome!
