Don't look forward too optimistically.....they're only just above the relegation zone. Mind you, Shaw Lane are probably coming up, and it's close enough for a nostalgia trip.

Do you think we'll be able to compete with the likes of Shaw Lane or shall we set our expectations now?

On my one and only visit I stood in the 'refreshments' queue behind the legendary Tony Kelly.
He turned to me and gazing at the slag heap he said "sh*t hole isn't it"
Didn't stop Tony polishing off a couple of burgers though.

Nowadays it's difficult to imagine that Frickley Athletic were once a member of the Non League elite, notably under the management of the former Scarborough defender Sean Marshall.

They peaked in the 1985/86 Gola League season when they finished second in the league table behind Enfield (Alty were fourth).

Back in December 1983, Alty even swooped to sign Frickley's leading goalscorer Gary Hooley.

However, after just four appearances and one goal he swiftly headed back to South Elmsall.

He was subsequently imprisoned for burning down his wife's home and thereby qualifies for potential inclusion in the Alty Jailbirds XI:

Correct me if Im wrong, but didn't we sign John Cyrus from Frickley?

Reading these comments, it might explain a few things....

First place I ever saw upturned pies with the peas poured in the bottom.

A bloke not letting me park outside his house because it was a bus stop. It hadn't been a bus stop for about ten years.

A pub where we asked if they did food was met with the reply, "you're not from round here are you love".

A strange place indeed.

Similar experience with Mike Atherton at Derby.

Should he have been taking a corner at the time?

A strange place indeed.

The alternative response to people who queried whether or not a pub did food, was to tell them, "Why don't you try the local chippy and see if they could do you dinner with 3 pints of mild"

Worked for 12 months nearby at Askern Colliery during the Miners Strike (we had NUM permission in case anyone gets the wrong idea)......we could be late every morning and then blame it on the van getting searched by the not-so-local police force

Was there not an incident during a match where the crowd witnessed a scab getting chased over the slag heap and battered?

Maybe there was artistic license in the story. It could have been the gazelle telling that one!
