It'll be to make Radford look more popular by comparison.

I am honestly not being dismissive of the little wooden stand, but there is a lot of bull written on here about it. To many of us the Boulevard was not that stand. Some of us actually never watched a game from it. We were behind the sticks, in best stand where ever. To read this forum sometimes you'd think there was only ever one side to the Boulevard.

The foundation of my youth was made in front of the scoreboard. My mates had family gatherings at Easter and Christmas. I had a family gathering every other Sunday during the rugby season IAKOW in front of the scoreboard. It was what made my youth (I say youth I started aged 6) so enjoyable. I didn't get pocket money. We didn't have fancy holidays. I had the Boulevard and the RL grounds of Northern England.

I can honestly say the only time I wish I'd been in that wooden stand was when we collected the championship trophy in 1983 and the Hakka was performed in front of it. Other than that I loved the ground where we stood behind the sticks. It's where I saw the last match against the kiwis and its where I will always recollect the good times and the bad supporting our club. It's a shame my boys never got that experience but hey life goes on and I'd rather be at the KC than a run down boulevard.

Good post and it illustrates that we all have our different memories of the Boulevard. Many still yearn for the Threepenny Stand, you and I both had our own favourite places but the one thing we all had in common (and still have) is the team. Bad as times are at present, we need to stand behind them and give them all the support we can.

Announcement on Monday???



I'm guessing your 8 days out with that statement if we lose the next two!!

Yeah, he never actually said which monday

Excellent post m8

Rumour is false, as I thought. He did turn up in St Stephens and he definitely looked ill. Sorry for the false hope

Can't have too many shiitstirring threads about our coach. Or maybe you can and this one's superfluous for now..

Well if what I heard today is true, and I'm virtually 100% sure It is, then he certainly forgot about his illness on Saturday night

Some interesting stuff from the FC voices meeting with AP



AP still committed and is staying

Still backing Radford and believes he will turn it around

Doesn't believe an advisor will help.

Certain people at the club are letting Radford down

Taylor had signed for next season

Paea about to start contract talks

Centre a priority for next year.

Tried to sign Campese and gale, but happy with our halfs.

Gentle made AP pay off lynch to sign Miller.



All on twitter
