I remember all the girls that traveled which one did you marry may I ask Billy bests boot laces
remember booking the coaches at the tin hut after each home game . and the meetings in the golden lion before and after the games .And the well known ozzie leader of the pack .
I was too young for the pubs, when and how did the migration to the Spread happen if the Golden Lion used to be for home supporters?
Also remember also trips to grounds and clubs that are no longer around . like Workington bradford park and Darlington . also trips to Halifax standing on them railway sleepers for steps . On those trips we had to make our own entertainment no videos or radios in them days .

It was personal choice, for me it was either the Spread or the Shrimpers. Also for morning kick-offs the Park Café (on the corner of Victoria Avenue and Fairfax Drive where a pizza place is now) was popular for breakfast
yes remember both well I think it was Lynn who had a brother that traveled as well .But I am not sure about that .
"MANY MANY CONGRATULATIONS PETER" There were many happy days in the late '60's that we spent together be it on the coaches or hitch-hiking, some of those mates are still going to games but SADLY some are no longer with us.When you were in your teens the sixties were great but with danger and temptations to get in trouble for the easily lead. Now getting to grounds is so much easier (thanks to TZ and the trust) and so much safer.
The overnight trips to the likes of Darlington, Workington, Rochdale, Exeter etc were brilliant though (as a single lad). The Youth Section coaches (prior to the Brothers Grimm) were excellent although in fairness Wino's trips comes a close second
