First proper sesh was with my big bruv at a home match in the mid to late eighties. I'd have been 16/17 but looked about 14, wouldn't have got served anywhere if not for the older company. After trying and failing to keep up with our kid and his mates in the Strawberry Duck in Clayton, then The Claremont, all Joey Holts, I meandered up Claremont Road. Got to the ground and swayed unsteadily in the corner bit of the Kippax for a couple of hours while the match played itself out.

Afterward was the City Social, City Gates (or was it City Inn? the one on Hyde Road near the bus depot), on to Ashton Old Road for the Travellers Call, The Foresters, The Raglan, Half Way House on the new road then back to the Duck, where I yakked all over my jeans and was taken home. Not actually home cos my mum would have killed my bruv for the state I was in, I crashed on his sofa while he put my clothes in the washer. Not a bad first effort.

My first pub was The Clock Face in Beswick at around 15/16, bleeding great pub it was as well with two big rooms one with 2 pool tables in (i love playing pool so it was heaven for me). Its such a bleeding shame the council closed it down for the bullshit excuse that they wanted to build houses on the site. All these years on and its still nothing but derelict ground the fucking cunts.

My first club would of been the Amber club in newton heath on ashton old road. I picked up my first slapper in there when i was around 16 and she was around her mid 20's :-) fucking great it was.

The Oddfellows arms in openshaw, The Lord Raglan openshaw, Royal Oak Gorton and Abbey Hey working mens club......Quality. Night club was Saturdays......

the oddies along with the concert must have served the best pint of boddies anywhere in the land.i seem to remember the oddies not having a spirits licence so only sol beer and wines.i could be wrong AGAIN
