Mounts Kipper Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Salford football teams called us LH lads Crofters and Bolton teams called us Spillers. LH teams always stuck between rock and a hard place back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lads I worked with often just referred to it as the "concrete", but may have been mainly in reference to the estate. As a breightmetian, folk would sometimes look at me with a cautious eye.

I'm convinced that the teams at home taught the parents to be ultra-aggressive and just plain nasty fuckers. Horrible feral fuckers they were.

Dukesgate, North Walkden, (LH really) it’s in the LH psyche to defend their territory, know the chairman of NW he’s top fella, but I do know that they have a reputation.

Would've been a long time ago if so MickyD. I've just handed my team over, we don't play overage, but in exceptional circumstances will let a player move up a year until u11. It was fairly common in LH 20+ years ago when there simply weren't enough grass roots sides in the area. All change now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter fatolive Posted January 13, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2020 Played NW loads of times over the last few years and always found them spot on to be honest . Good set of lads ( and girls) and a good set up. Always enjoyed going there and then to us if I’m honest . this would be u10 -u14 with lads who are now u17 so a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
