I used to watch the Bedlington Mechanics Play when they played at Millne Park, they where defenitly there in the fifties but I remember watching them play a cup game against Ashington and I was still at school then. I left school in 1961. The cup game against Ashington was played at the Station Park next to the Grammer school, so they had moved from Millne Park by that date. The reason I remeber that game so well was becasuse one of the teachers at school was from Ashington and I remember telling him that Bedlington would win it easily, sadly Ashington won. I think one of the players was called heslop who was a local lad. Bedlington had a big centre half at that time his name was Bob Fulbeck but I do not think he was a Bedlington lad. Bedlington Mechanics also played Blackpool Mechanics in a pre season friendly this was somtime in the fifties can't remeber what year but I remeber watching it.

Very true.

Happy Birthday CL, hope you have a great day

This might sound like a daft question but as I no longer live in Bedlington can anyone tell me where the public toilets are, even the closed ones? I was in Bedlington about four weeks ago and even the public toilets that stood in the Tesco car park oppisit the Monkey had gone. The public toilet that stood outside the Market Place Club has been gone for years, so is there any public toilets left in Bedlington?

Just spotted this as we have been away for a week just got back, A belated Happy Birthday Andy hope you had a great day

Hi Vic, not sure what thanksgiving is, is it a Canadian holiday? but Happy Thanksgiving anyway, looking at the photo it looks cold. Time to get the central heating switched on.

Happy Birthday Malcolm, hope you have a good day.

Happy Birthday Foxy, hope you have a great day and many more to come.

Still unable to see your original post using firefox but I can see it using internet explorer. ?

Threegee, I am confused or is it my computer showing a different result than yours?

Totally agree Brian, screew the eu and the unelected dross that run it.

Hope you have a great Day and a few pints.

Looks like you got it right Monsta, shame but nowt we can do about it

I agree with what you have said, any job should go to the best candidate, but under the silly rules of only certain people can apply for job then the result can only lead to possible failure and there are plenty of failures in this country but they get big rewards.

Totally agree Monsta, but as Orloff's wife says it would have been passed as legal,still discimination though. Strange how things are considered to be ok and legal just look at the failed w***** oops bankers that failed but legally still got big bonnesses.
