Born and bred in Workington, with my family all Workington Reds fans.
The ‘reds’ lost their league status in 1977 and were replaced by Wimbledon FC.
as a family we always day tripped to Blackpool on a coach trip ( and the coach used to park on Rigby Road ) alongside the ground.
I think it was 79/80 season we went, and Wimbledon were the visitors that day, so my Dad and Uncle took me to the match, to initially see the team that replaced the Reds.
Sat in the grandstand in the a south stand that day, and Blackpool won 3- 0.
Remember the crowd behind the South goal going mental after each goal.
Came away from the ground that day with a scarf.
Future day trips always coincided with us going to a game ( Dad was happy taking me until I was old enough to go on my own )
Thanks Dad r.i.p.
