Horses, cows and sheep grazed on the pitch during World War One.
During World War Two, one car park was dug up for allotments to grow vegetables and the other was used as a coal dump.

By 1995 all the old stands had been demolished and rebuilt. The stadium now can hold 75,000 people. England became the World Champions in 2003. The trophy can be seen at the Museum in the Rugby Ground.
