" The Mighty Hood" ,which unfortunately lasted only a few minutes in the naval clash with " The Bismarck" !!!

Yes, I drive past there regularly, and often get caught at the traffic lights there. Assuming that The Lancaster Club owned that land the houses were built on,they must have made a nice little killing on it.

Proudly built at the Avro factory in Chadderton. ( And Woodford as well I believe). Hence why the Avro social club at the bottom of Broadway is called The Lancaster Club.

Same for the 1976 League Cup Final vs Newcastle,as shown on the ticket I put on this thread a few pages back.

Yep, there's RPI inflation and then there's football inflation. Miles apart from each other.

Here's a photo of my 1976 League Cup Final priced at the princely sum of £1.50.

That looks like the Metrolink tram after a game at The Etihad !!

Please feel free to tell me and the other posters on Blue Moon that story .

Sweet Fanny Adams !!

If it's a sunny day, make sure you are wearing a baseball cap or something similar as the sun shining over the West Stand is blinding.

I'll send you a pm with the phone number for the late night noise team. They normally turn up within 20 minutes to witness the problem and once they have agreed that the noise is at unacceptable levels it starts a chain of events that ends up with a warning letter being sent to the culprits, and...

Well Manchester council have been very good in that regard. They managed to sort out what was more or less a weekly night time loud music to it only happening every 12 months or so. Getting a £100 fine every other week,soon stops these selfish morons from playing late night loud music.

Which council area do you live in ?? If it's Manchester I can give you the number of the late night noise team,who will come to your house, witness the problem and then write to the neighbour warning them about their anti- social behaviour. If they do it again, they are fined by the council, I...

I remember the song well but had to look it up on the net. Turns out it's a parody song,done by someone called Richard Digance.

I was only really interested in the progress/career of David White at that particular time. Mainly because I had a business relationship with his father Stuart, who ran a scrap metal/waste disposal business known as H.Wood ( Patricroft)Ltd. I sold him a couple of skiploader trucks in 1984 and he...

I think you mean Elaine Bookbinder,aka Elkie Brooks ??

Just looked up John Bookbinder and I was surprised to see not only did he die in 2006 ( almost 20 years ago),but even more surprising is the fact that he was the brother of Susan Bookbinder,the well known broadcaster .

My pal who sits next to me at The Etihad hasn't gone to a Wembley game since Wigan in 2013. He is on the FA Cup scheme ( same as me) with similar loyalty points. So I used his membership number to order a seat for Wembley on Sunday and just sent it to my wife's email address. Simple to do,and I...
