Allerdale Council have pulled out of hosting Rugby League World Cup in 2021,because the capacity at the "New" stadium will not be large enough. Nope that's not the reason at all......or maybe it is...because it is not going to be built. The Allerdale council exec. have kicked the stadium plans into touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Derwent Park's first full season was 1956/57.....a trial league match was played in 1955....so both had better days shall we say.

Neila Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Allerdale council also announced today that no garden waste or tin/plastic recycling will be collected for at least 2 months, so something in the council must be in a pretty poor place.
