Belper has got a beach. It's only 2m x 4m but we've got one. 

 

Jewson's doesn't count

Belper was the first place in the entire world to have electric street lights.

Gaslighting is still a career in Grimsby, not a social no-no.

Come on Rev, you've got to work harder than that to wind @David up.

The first electric lights were developed in the late 1870s by different people across the world. In Britain, Joseph Swan led the charge. He installed his lights at Cragside House in Northumberland in 1878. A year later Mosley Street in Newcastle was the first in the world to have electric streetlights.

I was never big or hard enough tbh. I was in that group that was unsure what to do when we were being attacked and a big Derby lad stood in the middle of the road telling us not to run, hmmm, was the Derby lad more scary than the local neanderthals running at us?.....big decisions to be made in the 70';s and 80's. ?

I'm a bloody midget at 5'7", but when that bloke telling you not to run is DC, you listen. 

Only 2 convictions myself,  Chelsea at the BBG and the dirties at their place.

Within a month all the bulbs had been nicked.....

Went through years of hassle in and around the BBG and down to the station but the only conviction was Swansea away in 82.

Chelsea at the BBG, the most violent fight I had ever been involved in, running battles from outside the Popside all the way down Ossie Road to town. Mental. At one point, a large group of us were head to head with some Chelsea lads who weren't backing down until a group of Derby appeared with brush stales nicked from some shop. 

If it happened nowadays it would be front page news.

And it’s on a river like Grimsby and Cleethorpes is.

Why would you ruin it, he'd have never known?

Yes, a whole shed-load when their 3rd goal went in. Made me laugh, so much for fighting till the end!

@Boycie text me to say he had left when we went 2-0 up, reckoned it was job done and looked like it might rain so went for a KFC.

Watch him deny it.

I left on 92 due to my illness but had planned to regardless of score. 

A woman and child near me left on 82 and is happy with the draw overall.

I get sometimes people need to leave early but what is so annoying is that they dont ever go quickly they move in slow motion along the row blocking others' view for as long as possible

Yes, we get some of those! But yesterday when their third goal went in, it was more of a flounce from many.

Well, I had to go early as the KFC would make my bottom explode within half an hour, so had to factor that in.

plus I had a bbq the next day so needed to get there early.

Plastic fan.

I thought there must have been a half time sale on in the south stand at HT judging by the amount who went down on 35 minutes yesterday.

And then they stop in the aisle, or by the stairs, if Derby go on the attack. ?

if you’ve decided to go………JUST GO !!!
