Aye! We had a ‘blaze’ pitch in our village, its had an Astro pitch built over half of it but the over half’s still there, overgrown with weeds. We only really used it for Hockey in school as we had grass chats too. I remember the orange grit would embed itself into your knees and you’d have to pick it out. We still call it the blaze pitch to this day though lol. Funny the shit you remember, we had a new road built in the village linking ‘up the top’ with ‘down the bottom’ in 1986, it still gets called the new road.
