Title: Which School did you go to?
Post by: RocketDan on December 06, 2012, 10:00:41 PM
Reading that article about St. Ambrose has got me wondering where most of our fans went to school.

Think i've covered all the schools within the area.

st hughs , loved it  then  st ambrose , well at least i wasnt bullied  there , not by the kids anyway . Would have gone to  bth but it was supposed to be crap in the 70s  and 80s although good now i believe.

Went to Alty Grammar but would go and play footy on the hockey pitches at St Ambrose until the brothers came out to chase us off. If they caught you you got a proper good hiding! Happy days eh?

went to Navi Rd until i moved to Blackpool aged 8 in 1988. Still have memories going there in the snow with my duffle coat on. Remember the large hall in the juniors with the classrooms off it. I probably would have gone to Wellington rd considering i lived near Navi rd train station at the time...

Heyes Lane, then Green Lane, the latter being full of scummers and ineffective teachers who liked to suspend people for truancy. Genius! Now at Mass Bay Community College, where the IP address is inexplicably barred from this forum, been wondering why for a while!

Sam Sheridan was a few years above me at Green Lane.

Ah, my old junior school, preceded by the wee C of E infants school in Timperley!

In my last year at St Vincents we didnt even have a playground and played our school team matches on the top field of the Coronation Fields. At BTH we played in 6 inches of mud.

Green Lane for me....I was 1 of 2 alty fans in the school (with Gaz Stuart) until 5th year which just happened to be the 1990-1991 season.

Shows how far we have come in terms of younger fans, pretty poor that seeing as though you could see the floodlights from most classrooms.
