Talk:Whitehaven R.L.F.C.

Assessed as "Start" standard with "High" importance. A section on amateur RL in the area may be useful, as would some photographs (particularly any from previous eras) and an expanded section on notable players. Tim Fellows 03:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Formation date
Why does the infobox have a formation date of 1866 and the main article say the club was formed in 1948? Is there a source for the earlier date?

Also, Rugby league didnt even split until 1895, so the early date seems a bit nonsenscial.Footix2 (talk) 13:42, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It could have been formed as a rugby football club before the two codes split. But no idea about the descrepancy. I would be surprised if Whitehaven was only founded in 1948 tbh, I believe the club is a lot older than that. Mattlore (talk) 20:05, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * 1948 is correct. Rugby league was played in the area before this time but the semi-pro club dates from 1948. No idea why "1866" is listed.GordyB (talk) 22:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Rugby league ground in Whitehaven prior to 1933?
According to rugbyleagueproject.org, Cumberland played Australia on Saturday 24 October 1908 in Whitehaven. As the the Recreation Ground did not have its "ground broken" until 1933, where in Whitehaven was this match played? Or was the match played on the site of Whitehaven RLFC's Recreation Ground, but before the stands were built? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 08:12, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
