Who remembers this.

Christmas 65 would be my guess Dave
How far out am I ?? Ok

 

Xmas 66 I think

 

Never being an Avenue fan only person I recognise is Pat Liney.

 

I sometimes went to the Avenue with a pal who supported them, only if I couldn't get to the City away match. Is that Gerry Lightowler at the front?

 

In the Avenue picture, Paul I'anson second from left at front. Geoff Gould extreme right at front, holding turkey.

 

Is that Myra Shay?

 

I played in the floodlit league.

I played in goal for St Margret's youthclub

 

Wibsey middle used to have a shail (is that the word)? all weather pitch.

It was absolutely brutal and falling over or actually sliding on it resulted in a blood bath!

 

That’s the one. I used to go there as it had a cellar place with good music. No beer as I was only 15 or 16.

 

St George's had one too, thunk it was originally for hockey but ended up being used for everything. We even played rugby on it once

 

I can't imagine playing rugby on one. It was bad enough playing football.

 

did it once at St Bede’s as well. Both times in snow.
, neither ended well

 

When I was at Priestman middle school in Marshfields we played against a school where Asda on Rooley lane is now(can’t remember the name)
The shale pitch was where the Asda petrol station is.
Never ended well and you certainly chose how you tackled very wisely.
