History

[edit]

Early Days

[edit]

The first rugby club in Tyldesley was formed in 1881 when, after a meeting of local businessmen and rugby players from other clubs, they decided to move from Garrett Hall to Tyldesley and become Tyldesley Football Club.[2]

In 1891, Tyldesley signed future England International Half-backJohn "Buff" Berry from Kendal Hornets. He went on to win caps forEngland (RU) while at Tyldesley in 1891 against Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.[3]

He continued playing for Tyldesley under the Northern Union rules as a stand-off half. Tyldesley beatWidnes to win the 1895 Lancashire (Rugby Union) Cup atWilderspool Stadium,Warrington, in front of around 15,000 spectators.

Northern Union

[edit]

Prior to the Schism, Tyldesley, like many other clubs from Lancashire (and Yorkshire), had suffered punishment by theRFU for "broken time" payments. And so Tyldesley, represented by a Mr. G Taylor, attended a meeting at TheGeorge Hotel, Huddersfield, together with representatives of 21 other clubs, and agreed to form theNorthern Rugby Football Union.

After theGreat Schism[4] in 1895, Tyldesley were one of the founder members of the new league. In the first season1895-96 the league consisted of 22 clubs and Tyldesley finished in a very creditable 6th position.

In season1896-97 the league was divided into Yorkshire and Lancashire, Tyldesley playing in the latter section, where they would stay for the remainder of their (semi) professional existence. They again had a quite successful season finishing in 3rd position out of 14 teams

In the two following seasons, still in the Lancashire section, season1897-98 &1898-99 they could only manage a lowly 12th position (out of 14 teams).

In the final season,1899–1900 they won the wooden spoon, finishing 14th out of 14 teams, with only five points thanks to two wins and one draw.

Revert to Rugby Union

[edit]

At the end of the 1901–02 season the club, which had played in the Lancashire second competition, disbanded as the club had amassed substantial liabilities.[5]A reformed Tyldesley club was admitted to theRugby Football Union in 1911.[6]

In 1926, landowning Club President (Mr. William Hesketh Ramsden[7]) gave the Well Street ground in trust to the Club.

Colours

[edit]

The earliest recorded colours of the club are white shirts and navy blue knickers;[8] by 1900 the club was wearing navy blue.[9]

Notes and Comments

[edit]
  1. Folly Field is the stadium used byWigan at the time until 1901. They then became sub-tenants ofSpringfield Park See below - Note 3.
  2. Lowerhouse Lane is the original site of the current ground used byWidnes. It was renamed Naughton Park in 1932 in honour of club secretary, Tom Naughton - and later renamed Halton Stadium after being completely rebuilt in 1997.
  3. Wigan became sub-tenants ofSpringfield Park, which they shared withWigan United AFC, playing their first game there on 14 September 1901 at which a crowd of 4,000 saw them beatMorecambe 12–0, and the last game on 28 April 1902 whenWigan beat the Rest of Lancashire Senior Competition. A temporary ground was necessary to span the period between moving fromFolly Field and the new ground atCentral Park being constructed.
