[quote="Th'ump"]Central Park was always an experience. Had some great memories there - the JPS final against Leeds, the 32-22 Boxing Day comeback, Les Quirk's CCSF try against Widnes. Some not so great memories also.

Who was that mad bloke (Saints fan, long hair, wore a cowboy hat) who used to climb the stanchion at the Kop end, as we all cheered him on?[/quote]


Sadfish?

Ha! Not really. Sadfish far too suave to climb stanchions. The only thing I can imagine Sadfish climbing is the greasy career pole.

I remember that bloke. Last seen him at the 1991 Boxing Day derby at Central Park with him climbing the stanchion at that end, looking well bladdered and carrying a Union Jack with 'St Helens' badly painted on it.

I miss going to Wembley and Old Trafford, I don't think it will be too long before they are in the same memory box as The Athletics Ground, Watersheddings, Barley Mow, Fartown and Station Road. Halcyon days!!!!

I liked The Shay at Halifax. Even when it was half finished.

This one - or to be more specific, spending time in the Timothy Taylor's pub, The Shears Inn, down at the bottom of the hill opposite on Paris Gates.
