Quoted from Maringer


My Dad lived in a house on one of the streets near the ground during the 50s (Tiverton Street, perhaps - can't remember which one) and I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about people paying to leave their bikes in the front yard during a game!


I and some friends used to go by bike and leave them for a small fee in the small garden of an old lady's house in Imperial Avenue.

We used to get there early and get into the ground for I think 1s 9d and climb over the gate at the bottom of the Pontoon to save the 6d entry fee.

My grand-parents lived on Elliston Street (opposite the old Loftus's toyshop on Grimsby Road) in the 1960s and early 70s.  We used to call in before matches.

You could gauge the size of the crowd by comparing the number of cars parked outside at sat 1.30pm and 2pm each home game.  This rough assessment proved to be a pretty reliable indicator.

They never complained about the visiting cars as they did not own a car.

Wrong thread mate. That answer should be on the 'when did we last play attractive football' thread  .



The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Yeah, someone else said that. Her and her mates used to turn up well into the first half and just leave their bikes with hundreds of others outside and get in for nowt or next to nowt.


You could get in for free at half time KM

Me and my mates used to do it when we had no pocket money left or my Dad was at work.

Aye that was what she said.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yeah Pete - I always remember the "half time - free entrance" thing

My dad used to take me along if the game sounded like it was going ok ( we only lived in Lovett Street so not far to go once he'd decided we should go )

I think one of the first times he did this with me was the time we put seven past Scunny... 5-0 at half time I think it was
