without knowing your age its difficult to judge that (re change)...
Did going to trafford remind you of home (considering you were probably stood next to your Mum and Dad's next door neighboor when on the stretford end)??
I think that was the ridiculously named 'United Road paddock'... some lads I went to school with used to go in there because they said the stretford end was full of stiffs...that was in the mid to late 80s though.Back in the 1970s. I used to stand on the steppings opposite where the players come out (North stand?) at Old Trafford. To be honest, I didn’t notice too many southern based fans back then at OT unless they were away fans. I used to walk from our hall in Fallowfield across Platt Fields to Maine Road (Moss Side was grim then).
I suspect the rules are as vague and variable as the LotG have become, which is why learned counsel is required. The only difference is that MCFC and their KC can query interpretations and provide our own meaning, unlike the whistling wankers who just piss off after a match following a dreadful performance that just doesn't match what is written in the LotG.I really have no idea what you’re talking about and my response about facts referred to those being considered in the upcoming enquiry - in other words, did City break the rules or not? What think you?
Strangely enough, my best mate is from Woolwich South London, and he's an Arsenal fan, as his dadThanks for that. I stand corrected. Like me he was born in Islington, so no surprise he’s a Gooner. Maybe he goes to games with FA PL Panel chair Rosen KC?
For my last year at Uni, I shared a house in Withington with some mates. We lived in Darlington Road, just off Burton Road. Our local watering holes were The Old House at Home just around the corner in Burton Road (no longer there) and the Red Lion in Wilmslow Road. Happy days. Did more boozing than studying.I think that was the ridiculously named 'United Road paddock'... some lads I went to school with used to go in there because they said the stretford end was full of stiffs...that was in the mid to late 80s though.
I was in Moss Side in the 70s - as a kid you don't notice stuff like that, especially when its all you've ever known. I'd moved to Withington by the time, but when all the gang shit started in the early 90s, the rest of my family got out of there sharpish.

Strangely enough, my best mate is from Woolwich South London, and he's an Arsenal fan, as his dad
and Grandad always called them by their original name, even though the team moved
to North London from Woolwich in the early 20th century I believe.
So not only is the head of the inquiry an Arsenal fan, Pannick is as well !!
We're fucked.
Yer right, Jack, I can still picture Blackpool running out at Maine Road in '55!Yes, Arsenal were formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886 and in 1893 were the first southern based team to join the football league. They moved to Highbury in 1913 much to the ire of Spurs whose fans still whinge about it today. They refer to us derisorily as Woolwich Wanderers. Fans do have long memories.
This is the preferred outcome. We would never get off the charge of running out of chips if it were left to the apparatchiks at the PL! Too many influenced by the media and the 'old top four'! A set of rules to maintain the '80s and 90's status quo!Would be good but I doubt it'll work like that, hope you're right though.
The thing is this panel completely influenced by the Hateful 8/9 already have us banged to rights, there's no way they'll come down on our side, our hopes will rest with an appeal, preferably heard by non football loving advocates who can see through the Premier League shit.

Old House at Home is now a block of flats. The Red Lion is still there, although I haven't been in for years.
A bit like Wenger, who says he's quite happy about City being investigated because we took his best players, he didn't grumble about the excessive transfer fees though. Strangely enough, he never mentioned the piano player upping sticks to Trafford.Yes, Arsenal were formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886 and in 1893 were the first southern based team to join the football league.

Still had the bowling green last time I was there - I love a boozer with a bowling green in the summer. The Turnpike is now offices I think... still has the pub board hanging outside, but its definitely not a pub.Red Lion in summer was nice. They used to have a bowling green. There was also just along from there a pub we used to go to called the Turnpike.
So your a South London club then. Formed in Saarf London lol The pride of North London my arse. Not a proper Derby v spurs then, Charlton or Palace?Yes, Arsenal were formed by workers at the Royal Arsenal in 1886 and in 1893 were the first southern based team to join the football league.

Used to live for a while right facing that Chatham grove, used to prefer the railway if I’m honestOld House at Home is now a block of flats. The Red Lion is still there, although I haven't been in for years.
