Two dear members of the Town Supporters Club were Mrs Mcsweeney (Mrs Mc) and her big mate and constant companion at all Town matches in the 60's/70's Mrs Robinson. Their favourite player was the one and only Frank Worthington and at each match he would always have a special word for them.

Jack P. Evans of Brighouse was the Secretary on whose retirement after many years' service a certain David A. Wood took over. Perhaps more of him at a later date!

Meetings were held monthly in the Friendly and Trades Club in Town at the bottom of Northumberland Street by the ring road. A huge somewhat oppressive building seemed to be all corridors and doors until you got to your meeting room and then it still did not improve.

Long was the feeling that Town Supporters should have their own Club. Some were talked about but not much more happened until... if memory serves me right the early mid 60's.

There was a building, stood on the car park behind the East Terrace ('Popular side' at Leeds Road) right in the corner looking onto the Leeds Road itself rather than our magnificent stadium.

Supposedly bought, by the Town Club (?), to turn into a Supporters and Social Club, a much needed match day venue with pints and pies etc and all things club and during the week and evenings. The Town Chairman (or was the role President at the time) was none other than the Police Chief Super or similar title in the local Constabulary.

Nothing happened with the building and as time past, eventually rumour had it there would be no club in this building on the grounds of objections raised. These were said to be on licensing grounds but even in those days I could not be sure just why nothing happened, indeed had we ever owned the building in the first place?

To this day Town fans seem to still be missing out on their own premises. Perhaps you will say we have other opportunities more favourable to us? Times, names, happenings all what memories are made of.

The Cow Shed, changing round at half time and using the track at the side of the field. It just could not happen today. But it did then and is now part of Town folklore and must not be forgotten.

Neither should your memories your tales of the Town, wherever you send them please send them be it to this website nor anywhere Town fans can read them.

Tales such as happened at Fratton Park with the players and kit being walked the last 1/2 mile because the coach could not get through. Supporters coming back from Portman Road following a FA Youth Cup Semi Final - on the official team Coach.

One Town player particularly enjoyed the return journey, his girlfriend was among the supporters!

Those were the days... .... coming soon. Are you Malcolm Pickup of the newly formed Town Junior S.C. Newly formed in 1964 that is, by the recently appointed Town Manager sadly now the late Tom Johnstone or were you one of the members of the Cub that met at Leeds Road.

Yes, actually had the meetings inside the hallowed portals, lets be hearing form you. For now tara.
