frickley in the miners strike
I think we played them in the cup during the strike  and my dad used to tell the tale of an ambush from the locals against the police who were escorting the Rotherham fans (not  exactly pro police at the time either)

Chelsea.... All the pubs were shut. Every house and shop window was boarded up. The riot police almost outnumbered the crowd. The underground was closed. Fulham broadway was full of police dogs and horses. The programme sellers refused to go near the away end so nobody got a programme and we had to spend almost the entire game listening to those maggots singing that stupid song about mowing a meadow. The sooner they go bankrupt the better.

I doubt if most people could afford to take kids to Chelsea now.

that was a horrible night wasnt it. then there were a few at frickley. so bleak and you knew the police were of no use to you

the 1-1 at white hart lane. i think we naively thought that they would not be bothered with us as we were non league and resolutely 'normal' but when everyone around me was being attacked i soon forgot that. i went over hedges, round side street and all sorts tring to get to the station. still hate tottenham

york in the facup. the coldest anyone has been anywhere ever. if we hadnt been huddled together we would have died.

the worst places though are the new identikit stadiums which have no heart or soul



i watch west ham now and to be honest most of it is nicey nicey. millwall away isnt, there is deep seated hatred. then when you play big old clubs in the chamionship (hello wolves) they always think thay have a point to prove

easy frickley.

Something was always different when we went there. the ground got worse over the years, and that slag heap was just a mess. Still remember drinking in the social bit at half time (you had to go up the players tunnel to get there) and being forced to wait (quite pissed) next to the ref when alty came out for the 2nd half. Other than frickley, bamber bridge was rubbish, with their concrete fencing that was supposed to keep everyone off the pitch in our first promotion year. Yeah right that worked.

Bishop Auckland ...

can't see half the pitch due to poor floodlights, can only watch the game from 50% of the ground and its cold. Only 'just' a 3 sided ground !

There have been many over the years, Frickley, Tow Law the coldest, but nowadays it has to be Ebbsfleet/G&N, there is nothing about the ground or the place to recommend at all.
