Pah! Kids today, don't know they're born.
When we had a paper round we were up before we went to sleep, and we had to do a double shift down the mine then on the blast furnace and that was after two weeks on a trawler gutting fish.
All they gave us was a gravel sandwich with dripping but we were glad of it.
Bloody kids today, don't know they're born.


You had gravel on your sandwiches, we had to do with park drive dog ends

Luxury!

I lived on Sandringham Road.

I'm 72 and I first went with Dad in about 1957, to watch his workmate at Laportes play, Jimmy Fell.
We were right at the front in the Barratt stand and Jim waved to Dad, it made his day.

44. First game I can remember (although apparently I first went in 1984) was when we went down under Don Oriodan as player manager. Last game of the season we needed to win. I think we were trying to get into a relegation play off place!?!?!? Can somebody confirm that these did initially exist!?!?!?

Yes, we are generally old and probably grumpy.  It is the 3 posters declared as “under 25” , out of 222 posters, that worry me. Or maybe the young are too busy out drinking to post.
