Mary D's

We spent most nights in the old town bars which were really good however Nevizade on THAT Friday night was incredible to witness.
Had four nights there and the earliest i got to bed was 5-20am.

After the match i didn’t even get to bed,just stayed oop and had a Turkish breakfast in the bar.

So proud to be a City fan and Mancunian,the locals just loved us !!
 
First time I ever went what's now Mary D's was was proper messed up experience in the late 80s that I have no memory of, not only because I got drunk at a wedding but I was also actually aged only 2 or 3 years old on the day.

How did that happen are you asking? I was a little unsupervised scruff discovered drinking leftover unfinished bits from pints, the tables must've been covered with cloth I presume and I'd been nicking near empty pints off tables, copying around me by drinking those bits underneath the tables. Not sure how much I had or if it was started by a wrongun there who thought it'd be a laugh giving me some as sick joke, I've reliably been informed though that I was completely pissed that day supposedly even had an hangover the next day.

So if anyone went to a wedding there and saw a drunk 2 or 3 year old in the late 80s, maybe it was me but then again who knows maybe I'm in the majority here who went there young.
Not sure how I feel about this …on the face of it it’s a hilarious story, but the fact you were only 3 years old is worrying LOL

Just one of those things that happens my mum was upset on the day, there was others asking how nobody had seen me nick drinks that day.

I've been reintroduced as a teenager or adult to some who went as the toddler who got shit faced at John's wedding before, or approached "hey you're the kid who got pissed at that wedding" there was a fair amount of shock and concern on the day when I was discovered. It was much better remembering everything going there after Aguero's winner against QPR, even though they ran out of beer pretty quickly it was a great atmosphere for a while after the 2012 title win.

Only been a few times in the last decade though as a meeting up spot, say if I've gone to games with nephews and their dads.
 
I stopped going in Mary D's about 7 seasons ago because the dickhead DJ kept getting Munich chants going. And the saddest thing was blokes in their 50s singing them with their lads.
What’s even more tragic about that is former City keeper Frank Swift dying in that disaster.

I’ve vague memories of a dramatisation of what happened and how on earth that plane was allowed to take off defies belief. The conditions were dreadful.
 
I watched an early Derby win under Pep in there. Saturday lunchtime. The win aside, it was a good afternoon. Very busy.

Mocking the Munich air disaster is just 'plane' wrong full stop.

Although many blues are aware of Frank Swift dying not to many blues are aware that Sir Matt Busby joined City as an 18 year old and played over 200 times for us. My dad said he was a very good player that went on to become a great manager. He was one of our own well before he was one of their own.

Anyway, back on topic. Another reason i don't drink in Mary D's is I'm not drinking expensive fizzy piss lager out of a plastic pot.
 
I'd imagine it's a site of special scientific interest.
Shit hole or not ,it has some very very special memories for me. When it was Bradford Labour me and the wife at the time went to a do upstairs. She introduced me to her mate. She was beautiful, did I stray ,cause I f'in did. Ah memories. Was also in there before 93 20.

Drop in every now and then, mainly after the game.
Can honestly say I never heard that.
