    This brought back a lot of boyhood memories for me. Saw my first game at Central Avenue in 1959 age 7. Followed the Tigers through the 60s seeing them win the old Midland league in the mid 60s. I must have run up and down those steps at the Canal end dozens of times as a kid. The reason for the Spurs replay was at Tottenham was simply that the Worksop directors thought it would make the club more money than playing at home. In the early 70s I watched a Sunday league cricket match Notts v Somerset at Central Avenue.

      Tigers made it into the playoffs of the Northern Premier League at the weekend and play Macclesfield over 2legs in the semi final. If they get promoted it will be back to back promotions into the National League North. COYT 🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯

    Excellent video, thanks. Saw my beloved Frickley (Colliery then) lose there in the old Midland League in what was a league decider Mmd 70s. Central avenue was rammed and despite being gutted to lose it was a great atmosphere.

    From what little there is about the period on the internet it appears their eviction from Central Avenue coincides with them being relegated from the Northen Premier League, but whether that was the cause of or an effect of their eviction doesn't appear to be clarified anywhere. So fascinating to see what still remains of football's early days

      Yes I don’t live too far from Millmoor. Unfortunately it’s been done to death on CZcams so it’s not high on the priority list, would rather go to the places that don’t get that much attention….ill leave you with that to guess where the next one is! 😉

    Nice to see somebody interested! Worksop is a dump! Tigers moved to Sandy Lane. Site on Central Avenue is Cricket ground and caravan site. Flooding is regular! Bassetlaw are a pain in the neck, killing off what was a good market town! Empty shops.
