Remember Dalton Parva well. My Late Nan and Grandad use to live on Bosville Street so we use to go to the little chippy at the top of the hill.

NB. Liking this thread a lot.

I rarely visit the town centre now and on my last visit, it was very uncomfortable walking amongst the different variations of ethnicity hanging about on the street corners and congregating in groups spouting all kinds of foreign languages.

We as a town are just a dumpit site for all immigrants.

Could you run to Cooper's Toy Shop, from your house on Hartley Lane, the'er and back in 5 minutes? I think not.


I have heard you are carrying a bit of timber these days so even less likely now.

I assume Coopers is no more so what's the 2021 equivalent in case anyone wants to try it? 5 minute round trip would probably have allowed an 800 yard radius back in the day when we were all in our prime. That's probably down to a 250 yard radius these days, especially having to navigate around the homeless.

I could run it in my car...as for timber yes I'm carrying more than I should be so can you think of a game plan for me to shed a few pounds? I thought of clearing the snow of the NYS playing surface but..........

Think you're right there CAM. Back in my prime days I might just have made it before closing time.

Born Listerdale (not posh that's just where the Maternity Hospital was)

Brought up in Kimmy Park (just across from Quibells shop), then Roughwood Road and Droppingwell
Moved to Flanderwell when I got married (missus was from Brinsworth so it was "equidistant" from both sets of Parents) then to Bramley where I appear to have taken root !

Seen most of UK with work and Rotherham ain't all that bad in comparison to a lot of places

Both Parents Rotherham born and bred
Grandparents a mixture of Rotherham, West Yorkshire and Worcestershire

I think there's a few on here , including me, that don't fit the criteria and might have to find a new team to support.

I was thinking of Torquay United based on their small ground, low fan base and they seem to have had more poor times than good. So the transition from the Millers to them should be seamless and easy.

It's only 270 miles which appears to be the same as being brought up in the sticks

If anyone's thinking of doing the same then all I'll say is WE are currently smashing up the National League
