2 *This second replay was played at a Neutral Ground according to St. Helens[4] official archives, but no ground is named.


3 * The attendance of 33,544 was a new record and more than 5,000 more than the previous best, and receipts were also a record £2191/=/=.


4 * Station Road was the home ground of Swinton from 1929 to 1992 and at its peak was one of the finest rugby league grounds in the country and it boasted a capacity of 60,000. The actual record attendance was for the Challenge Cup semi-final on 7 April 1951 when 44,621 watched Wigan beat Warrington 3-2
