    Brings back memories for me too.Ran myself into that unforgiving track many a time! Old fossils we may be looked upon by some on here, but we were beautiful in our day! Flippin' 'eck, that's golden years at both ends. :confused::thumbup:

    We always used to have them just before the summer holidays. I wasn’t a sprinter, but did well in the longer distances. My sister was sprinter won a toy fully working sewing machine, which I was very envious of lol. I see your Mum taught you how to be a gentleman:)

    I kid you not but when I was at Bede's, I was volunteered to help measure javelin and discus chucking. (Or was I still at George's?)

    A very sad story out of school javelin throwing back in the 70s. A kid was killed at either Edmund Campion or Rhodesway as a result of a miss thrown javelin. Can you imagine what would happen today over that ? Didn't stop us at Thornton still chucking the javelin; the discus and putting the shot. On Sports Day. PE meant PE in those days can well recall Mr Race (I kid you not ) our PE Teacher sending us all back round on a cross country run up Clayton because we took a short cut !. It was minus temp and sleeting snow. But second time round we had to do it in skins ! ..made us it did.

    Yes very very sadly it is. You may be right and my memory has it happening when I was at school in the late 70s but it could have been very early 80s after I left. But sorry to say it is a true story.

    Another one I remember well occurred up at Odsal during a Stock Car Meet. Spectators watching from the old main grandstand were hit by the flying debris from a car. It decapitated a female supporter in the seats watching. It didn't mean there was no Stock Cars the following week or the seating was suddenly out of bounds. Things happened but we carried on back then. I reckon if that occurred these days it woukd shut a track full stop or a least the grand stand ?

    Different times indeed. But the school story is correct. I would have to go through the T&A to get the precise date etc...

    No chance we will ever play Leeds in pre season as the police costs would be way too much which is the reason why most of Leeds's pre season matches are nearly always in the south.
