Background
History
South Shields RLFC were established in 1902 and played at Horsley Hill during the 1902–03 and 1903–04 seasons. They were voted out of the league at the end of the 1903–04 season. The ground was then used by a rugby union club, with South Shields Adelaide moving to the site from their Stanhope Road ground in 1908. At the time the only spectator facility was a pavilion behind the eastern goal line, but by 1916 two stands had been built; an uncovered seated stand on the northern touchline and a covered main stand with a paddock in front on the southern touchline. However, disagreements with the stadium owners who ran the greyhound racing, they left in 1950 to play at Simonside Hall.
