Blues in Failsworth

Have a read back through the thread. I never started the “lad” expression and was defending the Failsworth/Oldham residents as being just as entitled to be blues as say Foden from Stockport or Hatton from Hyde.

Anyway a blue is a blue. Have a good weekend.

Apologies. Sometimes posts don't come across on the page in the way they're intended. As you say, a Blue is a Blue. Cheers.
 
Made me piss the BIFFO comment. I’m Salford born and bred but briefly attended school in Oldham mid 80’s (long story).....my school merged with one from the Failsworth area it was funny seeing the Failsworth kids turn up with their mild scally accents and 70% blues. Bit of a conundrum for all.

One other thing that puzzles me though, is it a ‘muffin’ in Failsworth?
It was for me.
 
Born Newton Heath, moved to Droylsden 1970, Audenshaw 1985, Mottram 1989......MUFFINS ALL THE WAY, Fuck off with your barms, total made up name, for low i.q. types fromt Wigan etc.


Thats tongue in cheek btw... its a muffin if yr a manc

Absolutely. I was brought up in Failsworth and it was a muffin. I now live in Cumbria and IMHO it's still a muffin. All day long.

Definitely Muffin. Anyone remember the band Chip Muffin and not to forget Parrot (infamous locally).

Damn and blast - it was barm in Stretford where I lived, but then what can you expect from a rag area!
Thank goodness my wife is from Failsworth to put me right.
 
Ogden Road, thats where I live. Short stroll to the Millgate, nice in summer in the beer garden.
As for City and utd fans, as I have said before its pretty much 50/50 however a lot of reds from moston come into Failsworth to watch the raggies in the pubs on Oldham Road.

We lived at number 6 for years , some family friends live there now , one of my bros used to go in the Millgate , I was always around Hollinwood , when I first moved to Failsworth around 65’ most of the lads at Senior Boys were Reds,
