As juniors we had to go to Thomas st school for a few month while we were waiting for Hylton Castle Juniors to be built. My aunt and uncle used to live above Tenicks. Was there also a shop called 'Shemmies' near there? I remember something abut Jackson's being called the Queen Alexandra.I grew up living next door to the Thompson Memorial Hall, the Sheet and Anchor was a few doors down across the road from Tennicks the proprietor was the same John Tennick who organised trips to away games in the early 50's. The Grapes was on the next block down on our side in a row of small shops that ended on Church Street with another pub that is now called Jacksons, its the original name that has escaped me and some poster said it was called The Queen Alexandra, not sure about that but I will check it out sometime, The thread over their was a great read and brought back a lot of memories, Another pub from the past not mentioned was The Marquis of Londonderry on the corner of the Cage Hill a childhood playground.

Got my rain coat with hood same with him and going to club shop before hand to buy him a red and white hat as he wont be able to wear his strip.
He's gutted about it was perfect day for when got it. He's 7 and got him a strip for his second match and it was Wimbledon when got the hatrick so he was like I did as had same number.
Hope we smash them tomorrow! Best thing about it is his dad is a mag but he hardly bothers so never even took him to see the mags so he is now officially a lads fan!
After I finish my contract work will buy us both season tickets and hopefully he will come with me for 50+ years!

I never mentioned bell ends but thanks for the endorsement, so you don’t think there are egos on here, it’s like a gentleman’s club the way the wagons circle and buddy up to each other, I’ve never mentioned that I post on RTG but if I did I’m sure I’d be castigated like others have been.Tbf mate it's you who has came across as a bell end.
The majority of your posts have been negative whats your issue? Or more importantly whats your username on RTG![]()

Better luck with my grandaughter is who is 25 now and a massive lads fan as is my nephew who I took as a 8 year old and is now close to 40.
Have a great day.
