Bank Holiday Madness:

On Sunday 28th May 2000 the White Tide players and officials took to the street of Scarborough for a mammoth training session to celebrate the teams five years of existance.


In attendance were:

  • Craig Birkinshaw
  • Martin Crowdy
  • Andy 'Foamer' Good
  • Nigel Hampson
  • Gary Maw
  • Tony Patterson
  • Lee Scott
  • Craig Thompson
  • Nick Thompson
  • Chris Walsh (a.k.a. Teddy Sheringham)

    • Below is a clockwatch listing the day's main events.

    2.00pm - Stressa (The Highlander Bar): The day begins with two or three pints to ease the tention of a potentially nerve racking day.

    3.00pm - Shades: The lads begin to feel the merryment of such an historic occasion.

    3.33pm - The Cask: The lads are now fully relaxed, especially Nick Thompson (pictured), for the tough task ahead of them.

    4.02pm - Louie's Wine Bar: The boys are still going at an incredible pace. Surely they will slow up soon.

    4.29pm - Snowey's: Craig Thompson and Lee Scott lead the charge up to Snowey's (pictured above).

    4.43pm - Lord Roseberry's: The boys meet up with the Crown Tavern FC.

    5.20pm - Pepper's: Still going strong.

    Pictured below, the lads take the long walk to the Aberdeen.

    6.00pm - Aberdeen: This really is Bank Holiday madness.

    5.29pm - Scarborough Arms: As Lee Scott retires from the session, Martin Crowdy and Andy 'Foamer' Good enter the mayhem.

    7.10pm - Leeds Arms: Now the legs start to tire, but messers Crowdy and Good help the lads along the way.

    7.45pm - Newcastle Packet: The lads are now feeling the pace, but still manage to put a brave face on it.

    8.00pm - Golden Ball: Its training sessions like these that make the Tide one of the fittest teams around. They really have covered some distance today.

    8.29pm - Turks Head: This is now a true test of stamina.

    8.55pm - The Black Lion: As Nick Thompson's bird turns up, Josh Tetley convinces the player that he should ask her to marry him. JD's all round I think.

    9.50pm - The Alma: The lads are just about on their knees as this historic day comes to a climax. One more pint and then over the road to the burger shop.
