    I have them mate and they've really choked me up.

    I loved that man and will never forget him.

    Wonderful days out on the horse and cart around Consett, Delves Lane, Leadgate and sometimes Iveston.

    Thanks so much.

    A few posters on here with a Consett link. I was born in Consett. A couple of memories with the Consett branch - anyone else on these trips

    Bristol Rovers away - the bus broke down and we were stuck outside Eastville stadium
    Cardiff away - the infamous trip
    Boro away - the day Joe Bolton got sent off and there was hell on in the ground

    Nice to see so many fans from Consett - most of my mates were on the dark side

    I live in Crookhall, just down from Consett AFC. Been here 5 and a half years, having lived in Washington for 40 years.
    I love it up here.

    Lived all my life in Stanley but played in the Consett Sunday Lge from 1980-1995 for Stanley Central then retired to take up reffing there.

    What do you two Gents mean about your attitudes changed? I'm guessing because you moved away, seen a few things, broadened your minds?

    That's all it is, once you see things you can't unsee them.

    I still think of the NE as 'home' and love the people but I'd struggle to live there. I left nearly 60 years ago so myself, and the place, will have changed, I prefer to keep my rose tinted ideas of how it is.

    I was born in Shotley Bridge hospital, my uncle lives in Crookhall and my dad is in Delves Lane. I’m now sadly exiled in the midlands but love visiting home when I get the chance.

    Any elaboration on this? Is it a prediction or news?

    Pretty much what Smug said. I want to remember Sunderland and Durham how I left them in 1984 as a seventeen year old.

    I had the misfortune of moving to Coventry with my folks when I was 8, my heart is still in Boldon Colliery but all my family live down here. As I have no family left in the NE whenever I get back for a game I have to stay at a hotel, it didn't stop me having a season ticket for the SOL but travelling up so often is a bit too knackering these days.
    I will never class Coventry as my home and but for wife, sons and grandkids I would move up to Whitburn.
