Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Fulwood Blade]

Bert was a scampi in a basket man at the Fiesta?.

Was it the Coach House?

Was it the Coach House?

The last word in sophistication. Went to the Venus in Dinnington a few months ago, talk about time warp!

Not United but a good photo. Anybody guess what's going on?

A strange one. Looks like mid to late1960s? Why would there be a Burnley flag and a Sheffield United flag be at Craven Cottage and the spectators looking the other way? Boat race in the Thames?

Later rearranged as the LMS

Sorry, Great Central Railway (last mainline to be built, first to close, usual Beeching cockup), then LNER!

Craven Cottage had flags of each first division clubs?

Looks like it would have been a reserves match at Craven Cottage

For a second I thought it might be an early version of "the Poznan"

Did that used to be “Dean’s”?

Did a damn good Barnsley chop in its day.

Best “authentic” one I’ve had since then is Beatson House at Cawthorne near Barnsley.

My early 80,s post match route , which the obligatory pit stop at The Friary

Like bloody Groundhog Day on here.

Go back a couple of days and it was all covered, or better still start a new thread on the same subject.

I've had the Barnsley chop at Beatson House. Bloody awesome. Best Sunday lunch venue ever. Worth the trip out.

There was a cafe in that block. You used to go in and order your food, take a drink, then go and sit down and wait till the waitress came round with your food. They didn’t give you an order number, or a table number, or even take your name. They just shouted out the dish, “steak pie and chips?” and you put your hand up and they delivered it to your table, no questions asked.

We bought many a coffee in there and had a free meal. The trick was to gulp it down quick and get out before the poor sod who’d paid for it realised it was his!

Bad form obviously - but great fun!

So it was you who ate my meal

 

[Basing Blade]

We used to do that in The Golden Egg for about 6 months when I was at Granville College.

Thats probably why it shut down.

Quite likely mate. It was a long time ago now. I was a very young "Shoreham boy". I used to sing, "Shoreham boys, we are here, kiss your girls and eat your steak pie".

In the early 1970s my dad would always park his car in Asline Road , Holland Road or Colver Road just before the start of our home games which is the top centre of the photo. Parking in Holland Road or Colver Street before matches nowadays is very restricted. When was it when Asline Road became a no parking zone?

Looks as though that's when the repairs to Fargate first started. Move on to 2018 and they've not quite finished yet.

The guy in the middle looking away looks like an old mate of mine Andy Hickson. The guy with the cords on could even be me.

Not a photo but more of a memory..... is it 41 years ago today that we sold Mick Jones to Leeds? (September 22nd 1967).

Over to you Silent.
