1950 - Hartlepool Rovers v Durham City ?

What we know about this image :

A rugby match at New Friarage, West View Road Hartlepool, the home ground of Hartlepool Rovers. Neither the date, nor Rovers' opponents are known.

It may be a representative XV in opposition such as an Oakes XV, the size of the crowd points that way, or possibly guaging the jerseys worn by the opposition, it may be Durham City?

The background is equally interesting,with the Gasometer in Powlett Road and the Cemetery Junction West Signal box in the distance.
