O.K, I have to ask, do any of you lads know Hayden Foy? I think he took over the Falsworth supporters branch from his Dad, Barry. P.S is Tinker still around ?

I knew Barry Foy, he lived on my street.. I also knew him from the pre Railway days when meetings were held at the Woodman inn.
Railway went downhill when non-blues took over, I went in bout 4yrs ago and it was like a morgue, although all the city memorabilla was still in the back room.. prob ended up on Ebay.

Is Barry still around? He lived on Evening street, just off Oldham rd. I haven't seen him since 1978, he and my Dad were buisiness partners. He was City mad, I used to go to the match with him and my Dad back in the seventies.

He was indeed a top blue, I did a few away trips on the Failsworth SC coaches with him.

wheatsheaf in failsworth is a big blue pub and the woodman on the hollinwood / failsworth border is a mix as the owner is a blue and the landlord is a red. But some great banter in there. This is where i watch games and also drink.

That's great to hear, he must be hitting 70 or so by now. If anyone ever sees him, please pass on regards from Geds lad in Canada.
Blumoonrisen, cheers for that, Barry lived on Evening st. in the 70's when Hayden was just a baby. he must have moved later on.

Barry is still around and pops in the Wheatsheaf every now and again. I'll be in there sunday for the Liverpool game, always a good laugh no matter what the result.
Derby day I went in there, the place was packed and 15 mins before ko there was a powercut ! All the pubs from the Woodman down to Failsworth Pole lost their power, cue mass exodus! Funny when we left the pub to find somewhere to watch the match there were loads of people piling out of all the pubs along Manchester Rd.
