I was in Brook House 65/66Went to school there. Dave Moorcroft was the year above me and a certain Mr Tranter I remember well. Anyone else from that era?
That's what I've been saying the council should do for a while now. Instead of being seen to block things, like they were with the Butts, get right behind the club and put things on a plate for SISU. Then they have to either go through with what they've been promising or admit is all BS.Could almost be a put up or shut up situation couldn't it.
There is land available easily convertible make us an offer....... kind of puts ccfc/sisu on the spot.....
Got caned by the head Mr Thompson for fighting outside the woodwork block right below is window! Of course I decked the class bully so it was worth it. I was in Smith-Clarke. In those days teachers would pick on you in the class line and make fun of you and inflict pain!! There was a math teacher notorious for it. There was also a pervert gym teacher Mr Baker, who would often place a paper basket over his head and creepily watch us in the showers. How naive we were at 13/14? How times have changed.

Fuckin hell, this was some school, half the kids were Bully's and the other half WerePaxman ll what year was that ? The reason I ask you is I to got caned for fighting the class bully outside the woodwork block ,
I put him down but on the way up he picked up a stone and threw it at me witch hit me on the head , my head needed stitches .
But still got caned by the headmaster , but i can't remember his name .
And those Teachers would have been locked up if they had behaved like that today .

Mentioned it last week and it came up in SCG
Now CT running a largely supportive peice with Kevin Maton
45 acres quite a lot with potential for some modest housing development on site, could even do it Jointly with Cov rugger to share the burden.
Certainly seems enough space
What do you all say?

Ha that's funny. It was not me! The kid I had a fight with was called 'Bennett' not so much a bully but thought he was the king pin and I had to put him in his place when he came after me. May have been Pete Bennett. Of course we ended up good friends! Circa 67' 68' i think.
As Brylowes says our world back then was a very different place and today corporal punishment is of course banned and weirdo paedophile types are soon caught or fail a back ground check long before being in that post. A bit of corporal punishment never did me any harm tbf or the discipline around the school. The Pedo' stuff with Baker and a colleague of his has another back story though involving a school camping trip to N Wales involving my mate. were you at the school around that time? PM me if you like.

My lad zed to play there in the 5 aside league.
It was a Sports college so shouldn't take much to get it upto standard.
Most of it can be put in one area then the rest could still be housing if they want to.
Paxman ll , my time at woodlands finished year ending 65/66 so not you mate . I also went to Dol-y-Moch in North Wales with the School .Ha that's funny. It was not me!

Got it wrong again NickMaybe you both thought each other were bullies and had a fight?
Went to school there. Dave Moorcroft was the year above me and a certain Mr Tranter I remember well. Anyone else from that era?
Fuckin hell, this was some school, half the kids were Bully's and the other half Were
bravely standing upto Bully's, meanwhile the headmaster was a sadistic psychopath
And the games teacher was a cross between Stuart Hall and Jimmy Savile.:arghh:
Their looking at it for a training facility / academy I think.Any thought of a stadium on this land is doomed, no road infrastructure big enough to take 1-2K crowds let alone 15-20K.

Maybe better to start a thread on who HASN'T been touched up.Hi Nick. Maybe we should have an OBs and Paedo section elsewhere. Unless touched up during training, not football related!
You'd remember the head's name if you were there in Thompson's time.
He took over when the school was a shambles and introduced discipline. His aim was to make the comprehensive system work. The school was large and with so many kids, discipline was the only way.
We had to wear school caps for the first 2 years. Strictly enforced.
That was out of fashion at other schools- except grammar schools.
He told us that, in addition to wanting to be on a par with grammar schools reputation wise, it was all about discipline. He forced us to conform for the first 2 years, after that he had us. Or at least that was the plan.
He left the slogan "we want homework" on the wall of the gym to show how desperate the kids were under his predecessor.
Actually wanting homework....
