didsbury was a fantastic place to live in the 90s.
Especially for a Blue. You could be at Maine Road in minutes and the matchday routine was so simple - bus or taxi to ground, drink around stadium, drink after, taxi back to Didsbury and carry on drinking.
also, back in those days the pubs were full of Blues for matches, often outnumbering Reds 2 or 3 to 1 for a derby.
For a short while after all the chain bars were built it was still ace. A top fishmongers, good deli, good curry houses etc. You could go up to the MEt or the Woodstock for a slight change of scenery and bump into Shaun Ryder or Curley Watts.
Nowadays it pulls people, often scrotes, from all over the place for a night out. And lots moved there because of its cool reputation. It ain't what it was.
