New balls please 14:21 - Aug 4 with 1559 viewsLeadbelly

New ball in use next season, according to OWS. Apparently it provides “Unrivalled power, pin-point accuracy and instant control”. That will certainly improve League 2 football...if true.

Poll: Safe standing at football; yes, know or don't know?

Clearly that's why I was never any good, inferior footballs.

FB. That reminds me of one of Bill Shankly's quotes when talking about Tony Hateley (Mark Hateley's father):

No-one is ever sure who he is passing to. The ball should be labelled "to whom it may concern".

How does it cope with being projected to Row Z with ten minutes playing time, or are we not going to do that anymore ?

Poll: No half measure either 1 or 2 ?

Hoofroyd and Mick bigger bast88d than bast88d were the chief instruments of that football style.

We will see what the new super ball is all about soon.

Love it Durham.

But you never saw Kevin McCurley in the 1950s thump the ball over the Layer Road End goal, over the stand, over Layer Road and into the gardens opposite. The ball had to be recovered for the game to continue.

In fact, when you entered the ground you could be sold a raffle ticket for 1d (Penny on the match ball). It was yours if you won, but there was only one match ball.

PWK that must be a record not even the Aaron Skelton netting would have prevented that clearance!

I do remember the Barside stand during a particularly wet day and the guttering came down showering the unfortunates with water but worse still the rust showering the spectators was an occupational hazard.
I think we were playing Crystal Palace and list 3-0.

Happy days..

Oh Yes!. I well remember the Crystal Palace downpour.

But McCurley's efforts were well known.

Up the U's down the years!

Absolutely classic stuff PWK.

Layer Road certainly gave us all unique memories.

Forgive my ignorance, if you bought a raffle ticket but a player scored a hat trick during the game, was the raffle rolled over to the next match PWK ?

Poll: No half measure either 1 or 2 ?
