From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edge Hall Road is the home ground of Orrell R.U.F.C. and both the junior and senior academy teams of Wigan Warriors[1], in the Orrell area of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester. The ground has a capacity of 6500 (1000 seated). The ground consists of the 1000 capacity all seat North stand, the terraced South stand, the East 'scoreboard' end and the clubhouse.
Edge Hall Road become the permanent residence of Orrell R.U.F.C. in 1950, replacing several locations previously used by the club, including Kitt Green and Abbey Lakes. The original clubhouse, constructed in 1957, was badly damaged in mysterious circumstances on August 10th 2002 and was replaced by a new clubhouse which was completed in the spring of 2005. In the 1991-2 season, Orrell averaged gates of 6,000. Home fans call the stadium 'The (Grand) Hall' or 'Straight Edge'.
