Might have been in that pub at the same time as you sometime in 1968. My wife and I lived in Darlington at the time and on the weekends if were was not poping back to Hull for the weekend would go there. What were you doing in Darlington.
Same year as me Rover: HB Mild was 9p a pint, Bitter was 10p a pint - easily get pissed for a quid, 18 months later I could go round town, get into Malcolms, or Baileys and finish the night with a carpet burger from Bus Station , the whole night for 2 quid! Never enough for a taxi home mind so was always a yomp home to Bransholme.
In the 80's I always had money for a taxi home from Spiders, problem was I could never get one so had to walk home to Bransholme hoping to flag a taxi down on it's way back into town. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Went to a bike show at Earls Court in 1978 was shocked to find that a pint (probably lager) was 50p. Can't remember the price up here, 20p ish maybe.
Sold up the river by Bruce hahaha. We Spunked too much on him and Bairstow for me personally. We’d have been better spending that money on one player and getting someone half decent imo. Neither of them have shown me anything that even gives me an inkling that they’ll come good.
Always stuck out to me as a small kid, my aunt lived just a couple of minutes away and my cousins would frequent it.
I'm concerned at all this money Geldhardt will supposedly cost us and Bairstow supposedly cost us, considering I've never heard of either player. They do seem remarkably similar to Gelhardt and Burstow though?
Decent with a bat in his hand is Bairstow, but he might go ****ing off to another league halfway through the season.
