I live in East midlands, having left Wakey to seek my fortune 10 years after you, DV.
Bought my first Season ticket in ages last year, to show solidarity, as I was so pussed off with Wakey getting bad-mouthed by all the media luvvies ( compare their reaction to Trinity's plight last season with Bradford's currently) -didn't think I'd get to more than a couple of games, but oh no! : this season got my wife one too - had forgotten how much I'd missed the exasperation & gallows humour that comes with following the Dreadnoughts ( how's that for nostalgia!) plus the trip up & down A1 = quality time with my better half.
Be careful DV: you can leave Wakey but Trinity won't leave you

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride.
Some great memories there and most on here awill agree about the Wildcat thing (but the younger fans seem to like it)
Do you still make it to many games ?

ditto, i know i only live 45 mins from Wakey but like you say you Trinity Will never leave me

Nice post Don V. Thanks for letting us share your dreams.
One day...

Same era as myself.
I too miss the terrace banter ,the highs, lows and even feelings of desperation.
Been in France now 6 years and Trinity and my close family are all I really miss, Oh pork pies n fish n chips.
But life is a compromise.
My Geordie wife agreed to settle in Wakefield so I could watch my beloved Trinity.
She spent 36 years there so how could I say no when after many holidays in France she wanted to settle in France.
Still it is really special when I do get to a match.
On the plus side getting to Perpignan is a breeze.
Forever a Dreadnought.

Whereabouts in Flanshaw and what age?

Pinewood Ave, posh bit me

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's no Wasdale road......

Hoping to see you in Perpignan Jacques mon ami.
68 to 79 were great times. Wilderspool, The Recreation Ground, a large brick at Naughton Park.......memories
The mutton tikka starter followed by mutton tikka main in Southend was interesting just like the 3 day old pork pies.
Wintergreen, tie ups, Fletcher the stretcher, the Con club, Skerrett's wall, Wally,....
50 years man and boy, bl..dy love it.

I lived away from Wakefield for over 23 years but the Trin blood never thins
I always missed my home town and of course the mighty Trin
having started watching in 1959 I was lucky enough to witness the glory days of the 60's
Like an earlier poster said you can take the boy from Trin but never Trin from the boy .
Maybe just maybe I might live to see the glory days return who knows ????

I lived on Denhale Avenue; born in 1948; great for sledging in the winter in the evening under the street lights; some folk put cinders on the path for safety; we used to nip out with loads of snow to cover up so we could get a long run. We reckoned we should be able to reach Alverthorpe Road; we didn't have a cat in hell's chance!
