    Possibly the link is the guy who died was from there, there's a wake there tomorrow .
    Pity they scrots were more afraid of the locals than the police who by all accounts didn't exactly cover them selves in glory

    I hope they find whoever did that to that poor dog. Honestly, if I saw that I would set the piece of scum who did it on fire myself. It's inhuman and as far as I'm concerned those responsible should be denied any human rights since they aren't human. I really think we should bring back public flogging.

    Limeslade in 1935. The original Fortes is on the right before it moved to its current location in 1949.

    Glamorgan playing Ritchie Benaud’s Aussies at St Helen’s in 1961.

    Match was drawn.

    The County won at the same venue 3 years later <ok>
