Trophy final at Wilderspool Stadium, Warrington, and in the 6-0 victory over Widnes in the 1979–80 John Player Trophy final at Station Road, Swinton.
Sir Eustace Tennyson d'Eyncourt, the Director of Naval Construction, and Chairman of the Landships Committee, and Major-General E.D. Swinton were each awarded £1,000, for their work in advocating the overall concept, setting design specifications, and overseeing the project.
Britain's comprehensive victory over the French at Swinton was marred by the first double sending-off in World Cup annals, France's skipper Jean Barthe and Britain's second-rower Vince Karalius being despatched by Edouard Martung, a police inspector from Bordeaux.

In its heyday it boasted a capacity of 60,000, although with a record attendance of 44,621 for Warrington v Wigan in the 1951 Challenge Cup semi-final this was never really tested.

Only a very short distance from the Pendlebury boundary with Swinton and close to the heart of the township of Swinton and Pendlebury, it was the home of Swinton Rugby League Club between 1929 and 1992 and was widely recognised as one of the finest grounds in the Rugby League.
His career with Swinton Lions, which started in the early 1980s, was brought to a somewhat premature end in the 1992/1993 season following disagreements with the club's board, the sale of Station Road and the club's subsequent move to Gigg Lane in Bury.
The club was based in the town until 1992, when financial mis-management necessitated a relocation from the Station Road ground to play at Gigg Lane in Bury.
