Subject: Match Days

In the not to far distant past I remember the exitement of the Abertillery match day. At 2 o'clock the music would start over the tannoy, summoning all green and white supporters. Now was the time to make my way to the park, walking of course, turning off Oak Street and over the 'black bridge' down onto Glandwr Street to join the throng making their way to the park. I'd pass the band stand and daringly balance over the river at the weir to make my way to the bob bank.

No barriers in sight on the terrace only a mass of supporters awaiting kick-off with great anticipation. I'm just about able to remember the teams decending from the old changing rooms down the side of the terrace onto the park, this soon changed with the building of the new changing rooms by the river.

The roar came up from the crowd as out idols approached the hallowed turf, our three lions resplendant in their green and white hoops rather than the scarlet of Wales or the red of the Lions.... what a sight!

A thing of the past? maybe.... sport on TV on Saturday afternoons an absolute killer, its much better watching a live match, just ask the supporters this season. I'm once again enjoying the exitement of Saturday mornings, we only need the music over the tannoy and I can dream that things are returning to the halcion days of the not to distant past.
