We dont even have a electric score board lol.I think I'll have reired before we get our new ground. It's a dump like Belle Vue - not a patch on Post Office Road

I'm 35 now - what about you I'm a bit older and don't think our paths crossed, Newport View was hostile land! There was a couple of lads we called Bony Malone and Skinny Maccarone, older than us. No idea what their real names were.Used to go over the roofs of the sheds where the cricket school is now. Threw mud bombs at buses from the bear pit (sorry blakey).When we got older we'd have parties in the lofts of Lupton flats halls of residence. You went up the communal stair well and there was a door at the top. We'd turn up with booze and stereo and make ourselves at home. All the students would assume it was another students party and turn up with their own booze, which we liberated. Crammed as many as possible into the Rochester Terrace phone box, or just sat on the top cos we could.Put all the rugby ground chairs down on Sunday so the pidgeons had a full week to [edited for content] on them.Played on far too many building sites and started a dumper truck which we ran into a trench.That sort of thing.
