The police knew who did it immediately.... as did the Shorts.

That says it all really.
As for you `MadMac` of Holly St and Exile of Devon i`ve been in and drank with you many times in the Cotton and the Church `Happy Daze` ;))
BTW I was in the Tapas bar virtually next door most of last night and left just before this incident, two friends left us and went in the Cotton Tree ten minutes before this happened, but supped up and went elsewhere because some `girls` were fighting and the `atmosphere` was`nt right......Good shout that !!!
I remember the 'Concord battles' well! Also with the boys from Failsworth (one of then got killed when he was hit over the head with an exhaust pipe one night). I got worked over a couple of times pretty badly by the Claytoners when in the disco at the Concord Suite. Also the 'St Valentines Day' agrro at a disco held at Fairfield Road girls school. The Claytoners called a truce and then they kicked off in the disco - got pretty nasty! But hey that was the 70's with skinheads, football aggro etc it was a pretty violent time back then. Happy days though. I'm Droylsden boy through and through but when I go back now to visit my brother it saddens me to see just how run down it has become. The beer garden at the Blue Pig used to be magic on Bank Holiday weekends but I also remember one afternoon when a lad got glassed and lost his eye in their. Carriages night club was always a good night in the 80's!

Back in the late 70's we had running battles with Droylsden, Clayton, Limeside and Newton Heath every night. Nothing to be proud of but, that's the way it was. There was a lad named Jarvis from Droylsden that was battered to death with a golf club one night near bluebell woods. Stupid kids. No wonder my Mum dragged us out.
