Last at Fartown no 28 ,is it scrum half Flanagan?

Wow, those turnstiles bring back some memories as well. I used to operate the ones by the club house for a time. We struggled to make ends meet but everybody did their bit to ensure we survived, and look where we are now. Anybody here who was on David Parker's fundraising commitee? We had a ground commitee also at one point. Running against the tide there though. Happy days.

We were a bit too young for that but we were part of the group of kids who swept terraces, sold programmes and merchandise, cleaned the changing rooms, ball-boyed, operated the scoreboard etc etc, i know there's one or 2 more that frequent these boards that helped out too !! i dont think any of us scruffy little teenagers could have imagined where the club would be 20 years later !!

I did my time selling programmes. Anyone remember that hottie who worked in the cabin? Charlotte I think her name was, ad I don't mean Charlotte Parker! One of the funniest moments in watching Fartown was going for a brew and biccies with the posh lot at HT and some old boiler dropping a smoked duckegg. It was like ripping the arm off a donkey jacket, the whole room went silent and then me and a pal just wet ourselves laughing. So, so funny!

my half-time delight was a 30p soup from the van outside the supporters club !! ..........and how lovely it was after the initial stinging of the burns wore off

you forget how old and knackered that gound was

fantastic times. wish I could go back there just for one matchday.......

and some supporters are!!

but as far as I`m concerned --------------it were MECCA!!

Used to cut the grass , mark the field, general work on the ground, once spread tons and tons of sand on the old ground before spiking for drainage. Painted the old dressing rooms and patched up the old stand to keep the old place open.

behind ian Thomas 026 in white jumper is Roy Ventola 2nd team winger, cant remember name of other guy with him, great pics and memories

just wondered if anyone else has any pics to do with Fartown RLFC, father used to play in 60's to 70's and I watched em from 80 till present day so interested in any photo's if any other links?

cheers
