    In those bygone ages of bobs and of tanners
    The old folk still moaned how the kids had no manners
    They talked of the era before cathode rays
    How the wireless was all that could brighten their days

    They remembered the days when there were few cars
    When you walked it to school, no matter how far
    Memories of hardship, of war and of rations
    Of Chaplin and Keaton and forgotten fashions

    As the decades march on it will become my time
    To don rose-tinted glasses and pen my own rhyme
    Of my earliest memories from past childhood years
    A fond reminiscence with all of my peers

    Tell how landlines, not mobiles, were all you could call
    And "internet" was where you booted the ball
    Reminders of PCs before the millennium
    Games with crap graphics, the first ever Pentium

    I'll post my warm memories for others to see
    On the BBS in the year two-oh six three
    We're all pretty similar when all's said and done
    Some things are eternal, nostalgia for one

    Back in the days of Iley Out,
    When fans went to matches to have a good shout,
    When players earned wages, not six figure sums,
    And we had to stand up, cos there were nowt for our bums.

    Back in the days of Division Four,
    When we needed The Green 'Un to find out the score,
    When the players smoked cigs and drank plenty of beer-oes,
    But still somehow managed to turn into heroes.

    Back in the days of the Trackie bus,
    When a crowd of five thousand felt like a crush,
    When players got fouled properly and didn't need to mime,
    And we walked round the ground to change ends at half-time.

    Back in the days of the open air bogs,
    When we played in all weathers - come hail, snow or fog,
    When players were rock hard with no airs and graces,
    And Brian Joicey's goals would put smiles on our faces.

    Back in the days of Spud and the rest,
    Before that bloke Sniffer turned up and impressed,
    "They dont want to go up", that's what they would shout,
    Back in the days of Iley Out.

    All of these are fabulous! I especially had moist eyes at Old Goat’s Ode!

    Stendel had a Quality Striker, his talents were there to see,

    And evrywhere that Stendel went, the Striker was sure to go,

    He followed him to Sunderland one day,and scored a foooking blinder,

    C.O.Y.R.

    Ian Mac's Stories from a mining village (read by Funtime Fontaine) is an amazing achievement - six stories charting the life of a barnsley lad is simply stunning

    The days were never ending & the summer were melting.

    Back in the night..........
    Back in the night I lay down by your fireside
    Back in the night you shook me like a landslide
    I nearly missed the early shift
    Dreamin' in the morning 'bout the things we did
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Beneath your love light
    I woke up on the floor, I asked you for some breakfast
    You shoved me out the door, I jumped on to the late bus
    I got to smile, I like your style
    You put me out this morning but you know that I'll be
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Beneath your love light
    The days go by so slow, I feel just like I'm dying
    Stop work whistle blow and then I start reviving
    Across your yard, beneath the stars
    I made it thru another day and here we are
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Back in the night
    Beneath your love light
