Sunderland Til I Cry
Winger
My Dad was a member at Wheatley Hill, did a bit of singing there too. Used to talk about it regularly when i was a kid, all the names (generally nicknames like big hoss etc.) of his mates and the oddballs that used to get in. Shotton colliery welfare was another he’d mention on occasion too. After he passed me and my two Brothers went for a pint before the match, we were brought up in Donny so weren’t familiar with it. Was dead but was nice to finally see the place he reminisced about so often.They were good for the local music scene years back, Doggy club Thursday and Sunday night, Wheatley hill, Thornley, Southern Club Aycliffe etc etc, had some good nights listening to local bands.
