I remember walking out of ground and my Dad saying after losing to Mysons

" That's it, I'm done, not coming back "

He did.

Good Grief.

there was a spell in the mid to late 80s when every home game me and my dad would trudge home over the Batley cricket pitch after another 30-40 point thumping,vowing 'never ever coming down here again to watch that ######! bloody rubbish! nope,we're done!'........

 

only to be trudging back over said cricket pitch 2 weeks later.

and then repeating the exercise....

 

 

[phildog]

Maybe nobody liked the first result, but the last one in the snow against Eagles with Tommo stealing the show......

I remember going to ryedale as a kid and York played at an athletics stadium. Year after renamed wasps

[ernieone]

The two drop goals against Whitehaven was probably by Simon Wilson, John Stainburn but possibly one could of  been scored by Andy William's.
