    As did I, on the rugby pitch next to Polar though - the pitch was better and more level than the football pitches.

    Hoyland Common -
    Parkside road playing fields for 25 a side all day sunday matches, the Town Hall field or the Forge with school, Spring and Bell Ground woods for bike tracks, dens and rope swings. Rockingham or milton pond for seeing how far out you could float yor mates bait box before he noticed and Sheaf Valley baths for summer holiday top board bombing deep in enemy country.

    The Rec over the road from the Six Form College on Huddersfield Rd, and St Paul's Church Field. Both still there.

    By the way, some of the fields in this thread are "protected" by Fields in Trust http://www.fieldsintrust.org/QEII.aspx

    Yeah mate,ain't been on it for donkeys years,there used to be massive hills on the burton bank rd side of it,they were ace for playing army or sliding down on a nicked car bonnet from the scrap yard that used to be on the quarry.The hills were mostly flattened and all of it landscaped in the late 80's early 90's I think.

    Holgate Fields (Top right hand field, Siberia - ridiculously windy), Carlton Park & Birdwell Rec

    Mitchell's old coking plant was one place by the Dearne & Dove Canal and a bit further down the valley Mitchell's & Darfield Welfare cricket & football ground. The cricket ground flooded and was converted into a fishing pond in the mid- 60's. The football pitch lasted a bit longer but eventually flooded as Darfiled Main's slurry pond moved closer to the old railway. It is woodland now although a football pitch was created nearby. I do not think this is used any more. Times change!

    Yes it used to melt quite a bit in hot days. Then there were the tubes which you could climb down into. the elf & safety boys would have a fit nowadays.

    You would also be familiar with climbing the walls by the old canal bridge.
