Ground facts
| Opened | Rochdale Mayfield's senior rugby league pitch was built 2005, and the club moved here in 2006 (This site's own venue directory lists the town/region as 'High Peak (Castleton), Derbyshire' — a likely geo-data error, confirmed by direct WebFetch verification of Rochdale Mayfield's own Wikipedia article, which states plainly: 'Ground: Mayfield Sports Centre, Castleton, Rochdale, Greater Manchester,' with no mention of Derbyshire at all. England has two places called Castleton — a well-known Peak District tourist village in Derbyshire, and a district of Rochdale, Greater Manchester — and this venue's data appears to have been mislabelled with the wrong one. This write-up states the correct location, Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Separately, Rugby League Project's own results data records a match as early as 4 Dec 1993 (Mayfield 24-12 Hull Dockers, Challenge Cup Round 1), predating the '2006 move' claim — this inconsistency (an earlier ground-share arrangement, or a predecessor pitch on the same site) is not resolved.) |
