I used to live on Barnadiston Road and it has semi detached on both sides whereas that picture shows terraces.

Used to go to The speakeasy on Barnadiston Rd. Bet it's not there now.

True. If it wasn't for that Big Tree we would be able to tell which pub this is (was). How inconvenient

York 3 Blades 4 in October 1981? Mike Trusson two late headed goals! It was my first match of the season and I was at my girlfriend's house in York for that weekend and on the Saturday morning I decided to go to the game.

Did she ever forgive you for nicking all her bog rolls and throwing them on the pitch?

 

[stringjunior]

Not any more!

What???????????

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Bet the MGB GT’s not there either, what a cracking car that was

Apart from Sir Len and the two invalid carriages, is that Charlie George about to be embraced by George Armstrong. Ray Kennedy the other one? Is that the game where we lost 5-0, 1971/1972 where Alan Ball, sat on the ball?

Yes

 

[Cheesebored]

What???????????

The tree was replaced by a smaller version. Pub still open, relax.

Them were the days Sitters
Double Six - Christ I have had some times in there
the Chantrey, true story, first smack I took in a pub.
Drinking underage, as you do in the early 70s, took pity on a lonely old guy
Who was trying to get somebody to play Shove Ha'Penny
never played the game in my life before
somehow I managed to win or something
and the guy goes ballistic and smacked me around the chops 'for cheating'
granted it wasn't too disabling but stung me a bit
Anyhow he was very old and pissed off so I left it of course
Barman through him out and bought me a whiskey, which was nice

I was only a young lad playing for the chantry, it was packed with blade nutters who looked after me and you needed it in those days, it was brutal. We won the league one year and Peter Swan presented the medals which didn't impress very much.

She wouldn't gobble gobble.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Wow, that's a big tree

Worked on the refurb when the tree was cut down.

Replaced with a titch, not been near for years, how big is titch these days?

Lover’s tiff Bert! It happens!

She’d planned for him to do a trolley dash in the afternoon at Jackson Grandways, but when she failed to crozzle his bacon sufficiently that morning he rebelled!
