Asaw   10 #1 Posted May 20, 2017 Do we have anyone who played on the Original Ponderosa in the 60's playing football both opposite the infirmary or on Red hill up to the factory gable end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Person6 Â Â 10 #2 Posted May 21, 2017 I once played football on there. Just the once! Â I was visiting a cousin who lived in a new maisonette and I can remember two lads, who I didn't knock around with, but who were at my school playing- Chris Riley and Pete Sweeney. Chris was not an enthusiastic player. The game was interrupted by someone's dad turning up to "sort someone out" I think his surname was Wade. This would have been about 1965 ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chap BLADE Â Â 10 #3 Posted May 22, 2017 My mate Pete Ellis who went on to play at a good standard and who I believe still holds the Yorkshire league most goals in a season always told me he broke his toe once by kicking the ring that used to hold the wartime barrage balloons down on the Ponderosa ,think he`d have been around in the early 60`s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Pete Ellis had trials with Blackpool FC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
