Memory might be playing tricks, but was the sports shop originally on the curry mile ?

Roy Clarks sport shop was originally diagnally opposite in the enterance steps , 2 shops in the enterance to the foyer of the Casino cinima close to Platt Lane .
Then it moved across the road to the bigger shop which was on the corner of Dickinson Road / Wilmslow Road .

Manx Blue said:Please move if you want mods...don't know where to put this
Eric Alexander, the son of our former chairman Albert, Won the spirit of the TT Award this year for becoming the longest serving marshall.
He's 80 next month, and helped the local supporters club get off the ground and with tickets, and has/was a long standing President at City.
Maybe Gary James can correct me, I think he was chairman when we handed over to Swales?
Still very much a Blue...well done to Him.
That's great news about Eric. His family have been involved with City since the 1890s - the longest direct involvement by a family in a club in League football (and we have 'no history'!) and he was chairman immediately prior to Swales (though he was very much not in the Swales camp and hated the way the traditions and stature of the club was handled and mismanaged by Swales & his supporters).
Eric's father was also chairman (in Mercer-Allison years) and his grandfather supplied the carriages etc. for Manchester's first homecoming parade in 1904.
