What? The corners are like Everest.

The OP misses the biggest reason of all, do we even know where half these places are? Anyway, I've said my bit elsewhere about the lower league riff-raff.

I know where most of them used to be..but, obviously, they must have moved or there would have been no necessity to build that new M62 to get to them. Why these places were moved when they sat in such advantageous positions on the A58 I don't know..

Watching the fifty foot New York snowdrifts reminds me of Boxing Day at Thrum Hall. I can't remember now but think they moved cos they were too soft to play in the cold. Why, I'm sure that Bentley chap even wore gloves.

Coldest spot in RL was Thrum Hall - possibly, maybe, arguably trumped by Watersheddings...depending on which way the wind was blowing. Always find it a bit sad to lose the old grounds, to be honest, but div 2 definitely go a bit warmer when they went..
Don't remember that Bentley chap at Thrum Hall, I thought he was later at the Shay? Colin Dixon and Charlie Renilson were the sort of names I remember from the the TH days.

I think Bentley played in his mittens bet. 92-96 and they moved to t'Shay in 1998?

I have a painful Thrum Hall memory of Bentley picking up the ball next to the corner flag and scoring in the diagonally opposite corner. I don't remember the gloves, just that he was a copper and fast as ....

You may well be right FA. I do remember him at the Shay too, I have a feeling he played for Cleckheaton RU and then came back to Fax later in his career and that's maybe what I'm remembering.
