Further to the 'Where's Wally' photos I put up on the Wally Gibson thread, I've now posted 3 events: last game at Fartown, last game at Leeds Road, & first game at McAlpine. OK, the quality isn't up to my usual best [!!, but feel free to have a browse.

If you can name any of the 'forgotten men' please let me know.

By the way, does anyone recognise any of the youngsters??

Is number 34 last match at Fartown Chris Chapman?

Could well be. Thanks.

Nostalgia is not what it used to be

This reminds me of when we started playing at Leeds Rd. Wasn't it Featherstone in our first game? Paul Newlove tore us a new bumhole that day and not long after he signed for Bradford.

thats correct, in the old 8 team 2nd division, if i remember rightly the fev fans gave the Peacock an unexpected 'refurbishment' that day too !!

picture 21 in last Fartown game with Joe ...........the soup van !!!! yeah the saviour of many cold sunday afternoons !!

great pics though and some great memories too but one thing that is very noticeable is just how bad the old place had got - at the time i dont think i was too aware of the state of the ground as i was only a teenager but looking at them now it was a sorry sight !

love the picture of the 'facilities' as a young lad that was a scary place to go.....................

what facilities ??



at either Fartown or Leeds Road


i remember the 1st game at the 'new ground' was like heaven been able to pee in a proper loo

I was at that last game at Leeds Road although I was working an exit gate as I was skint and needed the extra money for a trip to Wembley( a tenner rather than the normal £8!). But looking at those pictures I remember it being a night game but the pitch looks too good for that time of year. I've probably got the programme somewhere for that game too as I'd love to know where those mascots are now.

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.
