If we ever get Hartlepool in the cup I'd probably consider going to crimdon but aside from that things have changed too much. Filth are all over the campsites now and most the kids these days will sing like a canary. Remember one year went away down billing auquadrome got ambushed coming off the river rapids slide seen 2 Coventry laying into Carlisle who'd been dive bombing. Lost sight in one eye but they were all stood laughing about it in the club house that night.

You had to be there back in the day to appreciate it man . It could be dodgy as fuck back then . It didn't have to be a big site either . One of the biggest rucks I ever saw was on the Quiet site at Pooley bridge . We were ambushed by the Leeds mob and we're getting a right kicking until I looked up and saw Ginger Billy's Elddis roll up into the car park . I've never been so pleased to see a red and white striped awning in my life . We had a good laugh about it afterwards though !

Was wondering if Haggy kicked off over the weekend. Used to be a meeting point for some of our top lads back in the day, and a lot of the lads had vans up there. All kicked off when millwall mob came up and rented a 6 birther for the weekend and cleaned the site shop out of bacon. Lot of the lads packed it in after that said it wasn't the same anymore. Few of them got tourers but keep there nose clean.

Iirc a few caravans went awwer that weekend mate.
 
I took the campervan up there a few years ago and one night every toilet and shower got smashed in the toilet block and there was shit smeared everywhere.

Our lass denies it to this day.....
 
I remember a load of Cardiff boys turned up at finchale abbey one weekend in an 88 avondale perle Olympic (5 berth).

There was hell on when they went to put the awning up as they cast a shadow on some sunbathing leeds fans, there was no way either side was backing down from that one.

Running battles followed all night, one lad got pole axed with a camping chair like summat out of WWF. A portable telly got smashed up.

Nah but Mrs Rollins three caravans down got a pan of boiled tatties knocked over. Needless to say, words were had from a few of the local lads, and the potatoes were replaced the next day.

The portaloos have been flipped a few times since though.
