That story is true. Local history, newspaper archives, family histories etc form a lot of the primary sources that can be used/researched.
Ladypool Lane was used for 1 season 1876/7. They played on a field belonging to local politician, John Lowe.
Did you know that the scorer of Blues first goal in 1875, David Keys, emigrated to NZ. He married his teammates sister Eleanore Teychenne and for a while they lived in Dunedin. He died in 1910 in Dannevirke.
I hope this answers some questions and sets you lads off on a few research trips
