So much history here, and yes we should never have sold this to Tesco, but unfortunately, the rouges that sold it lined their own pockets. Although the DW is a great stadium we will never recapture the atmosphere of those days when central park was filled to capacity, very sad.

38,000 on watching the very first world club challenge against Manly, unbelievable atmosphere, better than Wembley.
