That's an interesting one. I must have been having a pee in the bogs that made the North Bank ones look like the Ritz ;-)
Still I loved going there. They were always in financial trouble so a couple of quid went into the bucket at the little club house at the side of the away terrace.
After the match a stroll into town for a few in the lovely old pubs there. |
Here you go Partzy me old mucker,it was this bloke.

Ah I recognise him. Done loads of stuff. Never been into the H Potter stuff myself.
I think we have an HP actor who regularly has a pint down the Pilot. Wonder if Max knows who it is. Will try and check the geezer out. |  |

It's Robert Pugh and he was in Game of Thrones. Got that one a bit wrong. ;-)
Can't do links on here but he had been in loads of stuff and very recognisable. | |

I not religious but Evensong is worth attending at the Minster around 5pm each night.
The York Races are probably best in the country for the flat. |  | | |

No one mentioned the ghost walk yet? Shocking. It’s a great little tour on a dark evening and damned funny. | | | |

They have got a ‘Swan’ pub in York with a cracking range of real ales and pub next to it called the ‘The Slip’ is very good as well. Bishopthore Road on opposite side of river from the centre. | | | |

Yes it was.
Another strange fact from that game is that there was an actor from the Harry Potter films there they introduced him at half time. No idea who he was never seen the films but I think he was from the York area. |
David Bradley ? Fine actor, excellent in Our Friends In The North. Just don't look back in anger. |  |

Agree, lovely place, prefer to stay in Harrogate myself then go into York for the day on the train. Useless information-I bought a 'Cockney Rejects-Ready To Ruck' blue sweat shirt from Priestleys in York in 1980, it was a hard shop to find! | |

Harrogate is certainly a top place. Mrs Bear often says how she’d like to live there.
I lived in York off and on for a few years and loved it, its climate (four distinct seasons), its culture, the people. The only real downside was the drunks. I might be wandering home from the shops on a Saturday afternoon and I’d have completely destroyed people lying across the pavement in front of me.
Great place, though. I miss it. | | | |

Harrogate?
I can see the attraction, but it's small-ness , & its day-tripper/conference crowd would wear me down after a while.
An evening pub crawl every 4 years is enough for me.
Plus, there are too many smug, loaded, Tory types there for my liking.
And an unpleasant dearth of people with Yorkshire accents, either because they're too posh to use such an accent, or they've migrated up from Surrey.
Stick to Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield if you're ever up that way, is my advice. |  | | |

Thank you for those wise words Mark E Smith, I wonder if you can refund me my money from the Cardiff Uni gig in the early 80's when you were without doubt the worst band I've seen in my life. I believe it was £2.50 entry, I can supply my paypal details, cheers in advance. | |

Bradford has been a magnificent city. Saltaire and Shipley ,to the north still are
Hudds great town too. Simple down to earth folk . Halifax reminds me of Speedway at the Shay and Kenny Carter | |

Sorry, pal, I just spent my last £2.50 on a pint of mild in a back street Salford boozer. Any chance you can sub me a tenner - electronically, like?
Seriously though, your post made me laugh. Never a good idea to go to a Fall gig unless you're a fan.
Saw them myself in Cardiff in the mid Eighties in a place called, I think, the Ocean club.
Fell over in the car park after stupidly downing half a bottle of vodka on the train over from Swansea. The evening ended with a bewildering wander around Splott & a visit to the Royal Infirmary.
Bad old days! | | | |

It’s funny. My recollections of both Halifax and Huddersfield is of them being dog rough. Though perhaps that has everything to do with the age I was when I was there. Huddersfield the weather always seemed endlessly grey and bleak, much like the landscape in winter. It was where we spent the whole time being set upon by home fans. Halifax was where, after a night on the ale, we’d be making our way to get the bus back to Ripponden and there’d be a line of Asian lads stretched across the width of the road trying to have a swing at us as we’d run past. It was like Ultimate British Bulldogs. Give me genteel North Yorkshire over that please. | | | |

Those Halifax memories sound pretty bloody grim.
Don't think its as bad as that now.
It can be "grey and bleak" in the winter - but if it rains for 8 or 9 hours in one day, people start complaining, and I always tell them they need to get a taste of Swansea weather, where 3 days and nights of continuous rain is common at this time of year!
Nice place, Ripponden. | | | |
