Clayton A.R.L.F.C.
Clayton Rugby League Football Club is an amateur rugby league club in Clayton, West Yorkshire, currently competing in the Pennine League. Clayton play at Lidget Green Cricket Club's ground in a home kit of striped burgundy and amber; their away kit is blue. The club has several teams including those for under-16s.
In 1947, the Bradford Amateur Rugby League placed an advert in the Telegraph and Argus announcing a meeting to be held in the evening at the Central Hall, Clayton, with a view to starting an amateur rugby league club in Clayton. From this meeting the club was eventually formed.
To raise cash to start the club selected people were offered a Vice Presidency in return for a donation of ten pounds. The first approach was to Mr Charles Vosper, who agreed. The next approach was to John Hainsworth, a local joiner, who also agreed. The last approach was to Mr Harry Shepherd, the local builder, who agreed but said he would give six scaffold poles for the goal posts instead of ten pounds. A loan of thirty pounds from the founder of the club, Gordon Wright, set the club on its way.
An approach was made to Bradford City Corporation Parks Committee to see if the Delph Recreation ground was available. The reply was “no”.
An approach was then made to Mr Metcalfe, farmer, Town End, to see if his paddock, which was below and next to the Delph recreation ground, was available. He advised that the Seed brothers, maltsters, owned the paddock. Mr Michael Seed subsequently approved and offered financial support. Both were withdrawn when Mr Seed learned the club was going to be called “The Clayton Amateur Rugby League Club”. Having been an amateur rugby player himself, he said he could not be associated with the professional code.
Next approach was to the Parks Committee to ask if the field in Green End opposite the Baptist graveyard could be used; permission was refused.
Mr George Rhodes who lived in Bradford Road owned a paddock just below the Broadfolds Allotments and he offered free use of the paddock. The paddock was anything but level but the offer was accepted.
The original jerseys had horizontal orange and black stripes and so the team was named “The Clayton Tigers”.
