    has anyone on here played at a FL GROUND ?

    I know there's plenty of us played the game at some level , my biggest ground I played at was Deepdale Preston ( a 20 min runout trialing with Burnley ) everyone got 20 mins apart from one , an unknown Bryan Flynn , nobody could get near him , he stood out way above the rest , I think most of us that day realised on h's play alone we weren't destined to make a career out of football , locally I've played at Buxton and Stalybridge , Sadly the only time I've played on Oakwell was when we beat Bradford City to reach the Premiership , a few pints ,promotion and a good neet intarn ♥

    I've played at Spotland, Rochdale, in a charity game, Football Veterans-v-Local Media.

    Unfortunately I was full back up against the legendary Rochdale striker Reg Jenkins He was 40 odd but scored eight before being subbed. Couldn't get near him.

    Had a trial Roma when I was 19 years old up there but I didn't cut it at that level unfortunately .

    Gone up loads of times since especially when Glav and Banks were in charge when they had a cracking team .

    sad thing there Animal is the lads who wanted to play and enjoyed playing , we're never going to make it , the gifted one's took it for granted and I'm better than you attitude , next thing a quickie behind Whispers and a family , drinking smoking etc there career in most cases ends , can't blame the Ladies !! It's real life ,

    I think the final score was something like 15-6 so the whole of our defence were binned after the game.
