Name history
Rugby league history
A football ground in Ruislip, west London, overwhelmingly known for its football tenancy (Ruislip Manor, then Wealdstone F.C. since 2008, plus a spell hosting Watford F.C. Women). Its rugby league history is a minor, largely forgotten footnote, found only in Rugby League Project's own records rather than any football-history source: three Rugby Football League Second Division matches in spring 1985, when Fulham RLFC used it as an alternate home venue, culminating in a 19-26 loss to Swinton in front of 1,047 spectators, the top crowd recorded on this site. No rugby league use is documented before or after that single season, and floodlights at the ground postdate the matches (added during Wealdstone's later tenure).
