Looking at the players it could be early 80's. Looking at Odsal it could be yesterday.

When the next tenant took over they apparently threw out a lot of old memorabilia that was left behind.

There was a similar photo taken in 1977 at the home fixture between Widnes and Bradford Northern, which was also Ray Dutton's testimonial game. Great days.
