It was, a bit run down as things were in those days. One side had a upper tier of seating, I have just seen the inside of the Olympic Ice Stadium, I half closed my eyes and squinted and I was back standing on the ice. :cry:
My dad played for the Cubs as well. The boots and the Stick I used belonged to him.
In looking for the photo, I came across a fact I didn't know. The conversion to an Ice Rink was paid for by the Mayor of Bournemouth, no wonder we are becoming their feeder team.
The Man Utd. Arsenal. Chelski all rolled into one team. Got in free a few times, had to skate round and push the ice scrapings down the hole, into what was supposed to be an underground river at the back. I don't suppose it was , probably just a drain.
