1976....a knickerbocker glory in Wimpy...75p? 1978....liver and onions with Tony in the Caledonian cafe...80p. The prices were on a board with punch holes and you could move the letters and numbers around. In the cellar were two rooms with pinball, table footy and the first arcade games. 1980....Alassio cafe...moussaka and chips for 99p. Always a couple of flirty, flighty birds serving on. Underneath was the arcade with bell fruits and missile command. 1982...the Frying Pan opposite Johnnys in the Beast Market. Upstairs. Fish, chips, mushy, tea (white with the teabag still in) and white bread with marg....£2. The waitress had tits like a Zeppelin race. 1995...the before 12pm special in the Vulcan...lamb roast, a soup and a pint of light..£2.50!! 2018...steak pie and peas in the private box....no idea of the price...probably £25  What are your memories? 1970/71 A bag of salt n shake crisps and a bottle of rola cola whilst sat in the car outside the Peacock waiting for my dad and his mate to come out pissed before walking on to the game...actual cost no idea mi dad sorted it...cost to me...Priceless! |

That rope they used to pull to serve you upstairs in the frying pan  Used to be in the Alissio on a Saturday after the game and the doors would get locked often as they started battling outside. People asking for your last laser or asking/threatening you for money if you dare to win anything out the machines Uncle Ronnies was more my bag and Ronnies wife did some nice grub downstairs on a Saturday, proper chips and gravy, none of this out the bag frozen stuff. |

Done two runners from the Sher e.......not an easy feat considering the lay out of the place Especially if, and I suspect it was, drink had been taken when you decided to do the runner 😁. Certainly was, a good runner just finished the night off didn't it ? Cameras everywhere nowadays though, you'd soon be caught. I have to say the most pleasing ones where when you went into a place with means of paying in the first place 😂 |

I have to say the most pleasing ones where when you went into a place with means of paying in the first place 😂 My mate told me the story of the time he and his mates did a runner from a curry house when they were at Bath University. He was the last one out of the door and was soon caught by two of the waiters. They took him back in and made him pay the whole bill. He managed to wangle a discount out of them though, using his NUS card 😁😁😁 |

Surprised a sophisticate like you had milk in their tea (even as far back as 1982). You are a heathen if you drink black tea. The only person I know who drinks black tea is my old man. My gran used to drink it black with half a sweetener in it. Horrid! A drop of milk or 2 makes all the difference (no sugar or sweeteners for me though) |

We used to go to the Sports Centre before games. For a place supposedly devoted to health and fitness, its cafe clearly hadn't read the script:
Chips on a polystyrene plate, Cadbury shortcake biscuits and Crusha milkshake. Any leftover money spent on Operation Wolf.
I must've spent hundreds of pounds at that place and all it did was turn me into a fat bastard

We used to play footy at the Sports Centre then get the bus down to the ground. Great times. |

Alassio, Uncle Ronnies, or A1 Taxis to complete Outrun and make 10p last 40 minutes on a pinball table...then on to Frying Pan.
Then after game via some pubs, marvelling at the massive monk fella somehow delivering Green Un newspapers with scores and reports from the day’s games about an hour after final whistle, on to the Shere Punjab, (possibly throwing chaplpatis curving them through the air to land in the kitchen at the back), and ending up at the dreary pub that was The County of all places...(think it’s cos could always get on the pool table, also old Gerald behind the bar was a sweety, kept in his good books with a half every so often and he’d often return the favour at the end of the night when just had a few coins left for pool)).
Dunno how much...as little as £10 sometimes including curry, drinks and games

It was fucking dead on a Saturday night, but we livened it up! |

Whoever you are, I can only apologise for sticking the Waterboys Whole of the Moon on the jukebox about 3 times in a row every other week. It was either that or Hearts Barracuda I think. Then down to the Zet to annoy everyone by putting Simple Minds on. |

There used to be a sandwich shop in Halifax near Dean Clough called the Nose Bag. It was near the bridge by Dean Clough. It was shite I think it is still there.

Had it for my speccy too. Outrun too, a top simulator, the music 'Magical Sound Shower' belting, added to the whole experience. Uncle Ronnie's was the best for me. It was a big scene in the day were arcades, we always used to make regular trips to play coin ops. |

Can’t remember if pool tables were up or down but I used to spend a fortune playing Alien on the bottom floor. |

Always the crown before the match. A fish butty from the elite next door to walk down to the Broadway with. A quick pint in there then down to the match. Back to the crown after the match and every home game the same, all fours till closing time, last bus back to golcar and fish, chips and peas from the junction. Happy days..

I feel sure i must know you...that was often my route to the games and i hung out with the Go;car lads though the 1980's. The Elite was good but i hated the queue on a Saturday. Stuart Woodhead had both those pubs...and half-a-dozen more. |
