Saw a packet of these today and always reminds me of Pools and my dad taking me when I was 7 sat in the Millhouse seats just in front of the old press box.

Smoke.

Yes! This. My first ever match was in 1985 and it's that song I remember clearer than anything else that day! I'm not even sure who it was we played. Northampton I think. Anyway, they seemed to play that song every game for about 3 years, even though it was crap.

Mr Ripper, Codyakker Dave, and the inestimable Mr ADG.

Three of the oddest things you will ever meet.

I always remember Pools playing a shite Fleetwood Mac track and Billy Joel Uptown Girl through a crackly inaudible speaker system. Times have changed though... we get different records now!!!!

Nil

Sugar Sugar by the Archies

I agree with the first and last, but you can't say that about Codyakker!!

foook off. I am not odd.

I alwats remember pools playing a kinks song. But I cant remember which.

Sunny afternoon?

Aye

Men wearing wellies, a shabby mac, and a flat cap.

standing on the terraces between the Rink End and Clarence Road, and the corner bits of terracing at both sides of the Rink End, and the one at the corner of the Town End and the Mill House

in fact I'm sure there was a corner bit between the Town End and the Clarence Road side, and you simply walked down the steps on the back of it to get in/out

I remember standing on the inside of the advertising hoardings at the back of that part of the ground, to get a better view!

Yes I think you are right, but wasnt there a walkway type thing between the terrace & the old wooden stand were you came along from the turnstile, then you went up onto the terrace from there, but I could be wrong. I remember standing on that bit of terrace in the Crystal Palace cup game in 79 & when we beat Crewe 6-2 in a league game in around 80/81, cant remember the exact year.

Rust. There's another thing that reminds me of Pools.

'Always something there to remind me' by Sandie Shaw, which sounded uncannily like 'I'm a funky lesbian' through the cack PA system of the late 70's.

Diving boards, rubber bands, lifeguards, chlorine, ceramic tiles.....

Mutley

All morning for a tanner at Seaton Baths, wandering back into town by any one of a number of routes, home for dinner, off to Pools, then Dr Who on the telly. Great times. I should have taken the win there and then.

Have you ever seen him eat a pie??

Rhetorical question, I think he actually snorts them.

Not at the Millhouse any more Mr Mutley??
