It was a struggle to battle the crowds to move around the front of the rooms - the place had a buzz, lots of atmos. The playing surface was rock-hard and looking down from up high, you'd swear you were looking at the surface of the moon. Green and yellow metal numbers on the scoreboard that hung by nails and got altered by hand when a team scored.
Those facilities were indeed an asset, especially when you compare them to the depressing lack of atmosphere of BISP.
Go Mac Uni - get us back to those good ole days !
