Frickley

[Time Lord]

yeah rotherham...can still feel those 2 p coins bouncing off my head edge on down that dark alleyway

Is Rotheram where the coppers took all our cans of pop off us as they might be used as a weapon, then when you got in the ground there was a stall selling cans at twice the normal price?

[Bingo]

Think I've enjoyed most places I've been to apart from Knowsley United - ( huyton) that's a rough place

I love Frickley

[quote="spirit of 1990"]Goole & a bad, bad meeting with the Golligans (Gooliegans?) who were banned from their own ground but still managed to throw bricks over the away end at us from outside their ground & attack us as we left - the police weren't much help to the away support either.



Can't comment on the above but I do recollect Goole visiting Holker Street in the FA Cup - early 70s (Football League days). I remember The Barrow Boot Boys providing them with a warm welcome...

Worst ground visited? Either Frickley (FA Trophy) or Bolton Wanderer's old stadium Burnden Park (FA Cup).

The Goole game at Holker Street you refer to was in our early NPL days. Ron Yeats was manager, Pip Kean got sent off and we lost. Seem to remember the Goole keeper having a meeting with a building brick.

No you don't. That game was in 1976, when we were in the NPL.

We did play them away in the FA Cup when we were in the Football League, in 1968-69.

The game I'm talking about DIXIE was in the late 80's so the one you refer to was far too early mate.

Pip Keen and Tony Galvin sent off after a rumbustious 'coming together' Galvin went on to play for Spurs, Keen for Dalton United - their paths never crossed again on the field of mortal wombat - funny ol' game innit?

Marine and that hitler of a head steward

That knob of a steward threatened me in the clubhouse after the game. Toss£r!!

Thanks for pointing that out - I stand corrected. NPL days they were. Blame it on my fading memory...
Arrhh...yes; the building brick scene OR was it a punching incident?
A young man named 'Smudge' was the famed assassin - I recollect - if my memory serves me well...
