    I went to St Marys in Crosby, and at "dinnertimes" we went into Coronation Park.
    There was a big tarmaced square in there. We played football. As there were so many of us, there would be several games on the go, usually two going left to right and two going top to bottom.
    It could be very hard to see what was going on in your game and on occasions you ended up spending a few minutes involved in one of the other games.

    I've managed to find a pic of The Forum, and an old postcard showing its location on Lord Street, right next to the Prince of Wales. My sad little red arrow points to The Forum

    It was built in 1910 and was originally called The Picturedrome. In 1933 it was changed to The Forum, which I remember. It was closed in 1952, demolished in 1957.

    Ped has another pic of The Troc on the thread below

    The Classic was on The Vincent's site. It's had many different names over the years. I first knew it as The Palace, then it was The Essoldo for a short time. When I left in 1974, it was called The Classic. When I was back on holiday years later, it was called The Cannon. I don't ever recall it being the ABC.

    The only ABC I knew was The Regal, later called ABC, on the corner of Wellington St/Lord St.

    As Toothache says, The Forum was only small. I think it was demolished sometime in the early 50s.
    When the Forum was demolished it was used as a car park for many years and then Forum Court was built on the site.
