Another one i remember was at frickley...what a dump that one was, a very poor ground directly facing an enormous slag heap!

Two other things iI remember about the place was 1, Arthur scarghill campaigning on the streets that day and 2, the pub we went into prior to the game...it was a boarded-up middle of the council easate type and were the boards were painted black, on them was WE ARE OPEN. Each letter scrolled was in white gloss with paint runns all over!

What a day that was, we got hammered either 4-0 or 4-1 and i remember in the two-teir portacabbin clubhouse after the game eric(chairman) blowing his top with a frickley player(or two). It was a bit more than handbags but not quite a free for all!
