Grundy Hill

[1] Grundy Hill's pitch famously sloped both downwards and also side-to-side, and was reputed to have its own microclimate.

"Grundy Hill sloped 16 feet (4.9 m) from top diagonal to bottom diagonal and had the contours of corrugated iron, but until the new footballing nanny state prohibited such extreme drops, the ground was Horwich's prime asset.

"[2] One fan recalled that, as a boy, it was his impression "that the base of the corner flag was level with the top of the crossbar — on the same goal line.

[4] In 1994, the football club sold Grundy Hill to a housing developer,[4] and moved several miles south to Leigh's Hilton Park in time for the 1995-1996 season.

[5] The stadium was subsequently leveled, and a residential housing development now sits on the former site of Grundy Hill.
