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....

🙄🙄🙄
