I always thought they were willow trees. Anyone know for sure? I assumed they were because it's how the ground got its name i.e. plenty of willow trees in that area, hence having willow trees as goalposts.

i dont see em making goal posts out of willow.
cricket bats are willow...and its an expensive wood

my moneys on pine......the stuff they made pit props from, because its straight and its cheap.

probably part of a bark path somewhere, or burned.

would be interesting to find out.

Would it really....?

why not??

some folk spend hours looking at family trees (not me).......so looking up old goal posts would probably keep some anorak busy for months.

when they find out , they can post it on here

You do know a family free isnt really made of wood dont you?

well how come it has branches
