Both they and Halifax have somehow resurrected in recent times. Accrington, Bradford PA, Halifax and Newport (plus Bradford rugby league) did all fold. New clubs using the old titles were started by fans who wanted their club back. When Scarborough dropped out of the League, they folded. Three new clubs came into existence called Scarborough as different groups of fans claimed to be the true supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at school in the 60s the local derbies were usually close with the results likely to go either way. There were exceptions and I still get nightmares thinking about the time I saw Rovers beat City 4-0 at Eastville. Three nil down after approx 12 minutes!

I think if we`re talking about clubs that are still technically the same one, not folded and reformed or anything like that it probably is a toss up between York and Stockport for the one that`s fallen the furthest - in `recent` years anyhow.

But if I DID have friends, rest assured that none would be ******** *** ********! Seems perfectly normal to me Jack. I have to admit to having 1 long term gashead acquaintance, he's fine until the talk turns to local football, when his ingrained detestation for all things BCFC is so intolerable it outweighs any reasonable qualities he may have. All these posters with 'gashead friends', very odd, but no doubt they'll grow out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a feeling it was Tom Ritchie with the goal right in front of us but what a memorable trip to York that was. I always remember the first City fan to jump off the train started running and shouting 'BRISSSSSSSSSSSSTOLLLLLLLLLLL' and was immediately jumped on by the waiting police and dragged off.

Fiale Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 15 hours ago, Rich said: When they broke the news about their new training facility at the colony, they said they'd "acquired it". That to me sounds as if they'd not, bought it, but, maybe, agreed a lease. In a later story by the evening post, the reporter (not the club) stated that they had bought it. The reality is that, although the colony had previously gained planning permission, for training facilities and changing rooms.That wouldn't be anywhere near what is required for an academy. There were also some restrictions on its use, I think it was a timed restriction where the land was not to be used before 6pm during school term time, so, 39 weeks of the year, during normal school hours it couldn't be used. Perhaps they plan to train at night. Surely nobody in their right mind would buy that land without first getting PP, would they? Is it in the company assets? Again land registry could confirm, if there's someone with access to the site through work, they could check. I'm not paying, not even for the pleasure of proving a point. They had the restrictions overturned so they could go ahead. They just need to put in their plans now, but for some reason they have gone into consultation mode again.

He's still the most expensive player the club has ever signed!
