An excellent barmaid too but some people have to go too far and smell them

 

[eddyfinn]

Is that the one next to Turf Moor?

aye thats the one

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Heart says definately, but they've won the league now six years in a row, have a nice pavillion and a canny track, so it was probably the right thing to do. Miss the old ground mind.

Yeah but do any of the local kids from Swalwell estate go down and play at the new place? Club needs youth system otherwise it's screwed long term.

Swalwell kids have not really been involved since the 80s. The Club has been 'HiJacked' by certain famillies over the years and locals, other than the Scorer, have been edged out.

[Dave Smith]

And what happened to the barmaid? Or is that subject to tour rules?

 

[ProfessionalMackem]

Swalwell's old Avenue Ground.

Far too many flies and insects in the outfield.
