Andy Reid says: Hi John, I found a picture of New Craven Park
(see above). I thought you might like to have on your website.
On the back, the date is shown as 17 April 2002 when Newcastle
were the visitors. The Vikings ran out easy winners 57-33 with
Ross Brady scoring a 15 point max. Cheers Andy

The Vikings operated from Craven Park
1995-2005. The stadium will
always be better known as the home of Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League
club. |

John says: - A very young Lee! My
team: Newcastle had Lee a few years after he was at Hull.
Lee never progressed further than reserve/second string but he was
great to watch at Brough Park. His method for coping with
Newcastle's tight turns was to enter the bends faster than anyone
else was doing and hang on. Ivan Mauger used to do that in
the 1960s but he usually came out of the bends in front.
There you go Lee someone has compared you to Ivan Mauger (well
sort of). |

I received an email from John Mather with the following
programme scans. The programmes were from the opening day of each
of the Craven Park seasons. Thank you
John...... It has given me the chance to create this page for
another defunct track. All I need now is some help with
photos etc. |
