Codheads??

'Our lass' is from Denby Dale and all the 'Dalers' called people from Barnsley 'Codheads'! Has anybody any idea why?

(chinny)

 

Cos we all look like david platt?

 

Do they think we're on the coast?

 

now im sure this is not the answer BUT
back in the Good old days
when Barnsley Played at Grimsby
some supporters took Coal to Grimsby
and when Grimsby came to Barnsley they Brought FISH
TRUE M8
as i said dont think that is the reason
But yer neer know do yerr

 

Thought it wor haddock frum grimsby though?

S)

 

Arrrr think thats what the old boys down the pub thought too. How long ago is it?

 

well i cam over here in 1968
when i used to home
to Birdwell in those days the oldtimers use to say you brought some fish BOB
and they told me of thier younger days
just back in the Old days

 

Will you write a song about it?

 

Haddock?......

They did the Harry the Haddock inflatables when they went to Wimbledon in 1989. But methinks quite a few folk from Barnsley used to refer to Grimsby supporters as 'Codheads' down the years? Buggar knows why Denby Dalers call people from barnsley it though? Maybe it's because the mobile fishmongers in the area emanated from our part of the world?

 

RE: dont know what happened ther
