| i was thinking today about times gone by and what reminded me of going to the rugby in my youth ,the main one being the boiling hot tomato soup at half time at Fartown in the late 80's - 30p a go ,it burned your mouth like hell but was bloody lovely stood on those crumbling terraces with 300 other hardy souls.
so what memory stands out for you - try and keep this serious-ish as it will be interesting to see what fans of different clubs/eras/generations come up with...........away ya go !

| Coming out of wheldon lane after a cold friday night game.
Walking to the bus station and calling off at the chippy and getting a bag of chips with loads of scraps with mushy peas on top of it all.
I was about 12 years old....them were the days.
By heck did them chips taste good when you were freezing to death.
Ahhh the memories.

| Watching rugby on a Saturday afternoon.
Bovril.
The Football Pink.
Blokes walking round the pitch collecting for charity holding the corners of a big sheet that you threw money into.
Fog.
Applauding good play by the opposition.
Toe-end goalkickers.
Unlimited tackles.
Proper scrums.
Fat forwards.
The list is endless.

| Seeing young lads being past overhead at Mount pleasent to get them to the front so they could see, and one going the other way who kept messing about, he dissapeared over the wall at the back.
My grandad trying to lift me over the turnstyles at BV.
Happy days.

Indeed, sending the dad into the club at the front whilst sneaking off for a quick try at the Eddy end and waiting for players to come out of the new tunnel and sign autographs as they went down the old tunnel.
Good times!
