Had to probably rack my brains on the oval, the chippy is just up the road, think I’ve only been in once or twice tbh. Probably right on the ivy leaf, only pub on the western.Was the junction the hydes place?
Could have been the Ivy Leaf...Macc blue will confirm that one.
The Oval was on Upton Priory mainly frequented by absolute loons, The Fiveways in the grove went under the radar but I got plied with Caffreys in there one night that there was a Karoake on, the result being I woke up with an absolute hippacrocapig in Offerton the morning after. Fucking horrible feeling banging head rough as a bears arse and thoroughly ashamed, never drunk the stuff again. Dreadful turn off events....that was after the City Newcastle Kinkladze masterclass game.
Hope you don't take this as insulting coz it's not meant to be. If people from inner city Manchester see a weakness, especially in outsiders they will exploit it. You have to front them up or tell them to fuck off and mostly you will get respect. It's just the way it is, and if you can't fight you wear a big hat.I was great friends with a couple from Huddersfield and Crewe based in Withington. They also found the people awful and moved away.
Numerous Blue friends from London or wherever have had dogs abuse at home matches for being Cockneys. There have been some awful people from Manchester over the years.
You’ll never experience it because you’re local. You look right.
if you can't fight you wear a big hat.
No worries, it means, be loud and brash. Basically pretend you can fight.Pardon my ignorance, I've never heard that saying, what does it mean?
Think it might have closed recently. Does anyone know for sure?The brewers in ladybarn was a bit mental in its time!
Some of our lads lived round there...The Derby was a great little pub.Think it might have closed recently. Does anyone know for sure?
Been passed it twice in the last couple of weeks at normal times of day and it's been shut.
That and the Talbot were good fun on a Sunday lunchtime BITD.
Peoffrey wears a bucket hat if that counts?No worries, it means, be loud and brash. Basically pretend you can fight.
Both those and the Talbot were good. Nice staggering distance apart as well.Some of our lads lived round there...The Derby was a great little pub.
That demonstrates true class. You wouldn’t see that in Urmston.
