It was a cold wet day at Athletic Park, my friend and i waited for a while then decided to leave, wanting the toilet on the way out, I thought the ladies was on one end of the building on the left as you were leaving, so in the pouring rain I thought it must be up the other end of the long building, so we ran up and burst into the building and low and behold the line up of men all heads turned left as we made a grand entrance, never been so embarrassed with all this line up of males???? I tell you we made a quick exit laughing our heads off. Life member of Norths Rugby club. I also remember sitting down on the side line on the western bank sippping with the others on a flask, keeping warm,. Also attended the French test on that awful day, we had got tickets and they were not cheap so we went aand climbed the millard stand or at least crawled up on hands and knees, talk about avid rugby fans, we won anyway. Rugby clubs were part pof the family in those early days, too professional now. my thoughts. Daphne collett.,
