Can remember playing in Graves Park in the local leagues,one pitch sloped that bad it was like playing on the side of Everest,and the showers,you had to pull a chain to make the water flow and keep it pulled,so it was quite a job to clean yourself

Thanks for the Mount Pleasant steer.
Played an U13 game for City GS v Firth Park GS at FirthPark and the pitch somehow sloped downhill BOTH ways from the halfway line. I was a goalie and could not see one goal from the other whichever way we kicked!
Just come across this wonderful picture from 1971,so i have shamelessly stolen it and put it on here,anyone know who the bloke in the white vest is?Attachment 6788
Are you sure that's not a photo of the most of this forum users doing their school crosscountry in the 1900's.....
