When l finished my last exam and moved Oop North to the North East, this was the ground l went to the most often, as l was only on an apprentices wages and couldn't afford to go to Old Trafford to watch Manchester United every week, much as l'd liked to have done. Therefore, l went to every home game of Darlington, whose old ground (Feethams) is in the picture.
Also, when l did go to to see Manchester United, despite being on crappy wages, l could afford the bus to Darlington, a train to Manchester, a ticket on the gate to see the game, another train to Liverpool to visit relatives and stay over, a train back to Darlington from Liverpool, and a bus back from Darlington. And all of that is without buses and trams in Manchester and Liverpool, plus food and drink (and a matchday programme). Those days have long gone.
