    the surge after we scored a goal and your crushed against the barrier :emoticon-0116-evilg

    you were standing at the back of the leazes when it had its roof at kick off and at half time your looking through the goal net :emoticon-0100-smile

    as a kid you get in early for a good view, then at 5 to 3 a tall piss head comes in and stands right in front of you :emoticon-0108-speec

    watching the gallowgate end as a small gap opens up - cos someone couldnt get the bog and just strts to piss on everyone :emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile

    being able to have a tab :emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0100-smile

    ah the good old days

    As a Leazes ender................miss the chanting, watching the numb-heads fighting amongst themselves, swaying of the crowd.

    Don't miss..................waiting up to 45 minutes for a piss!

    I remember well being allowed to sit on the wall at the front of the stands with all the wee ones. A bit older can anyone else remember swopping ends at half time with the police and stewards trying to stop sometimes hundreds of people from doing it. how when we scored you could end up anywhere,sometimes miles from your mates. I guess the oldest memory is my first game when I think I was 7 years old being amazed that adults swore like that (this was 1965 adults did'nt swear around children in those day). Happy days

    It's a shame that there aren't more people interested in non-league football. I was 19 when I first saw the Spartans (which is shocking really), and I absolutely love going to watch them now, but the attendances aren't good. No doubt Sky has something to do with it and letting the FA pump billions into league football, whilst forgetting about the rest.
