Mary D's

[Oystercatcher28]

Mary D's has a great badge shop, and a fantastic programme and merchandise place, some cosy areas and some rougher bits. It isn't perfect. It has regulars, irregulars and seems welcoming. TripAdvisor ratings would be a fairer way go deal with views. After all the Etihad is more like a tourist spot these days.

The restaurant is up for lease at Mary D's. Massive Greggs or summat proper?

Pizzas seems to be en vogue for pub gardens these days.

I wondered where the Badge seller had gone who use to walk around flogging them. Cancer took him about 2 years ago. I probably go in 5 or 6 times a season just for One, The Munich chants stopped a long time ago too.

We have so many sophisticated members on Bluemoon; wouldn't be seen dead in Mary D's or Wetherspoons or McDonalds.

I'm amazed they can lower themselves to attend a game of soccer where they might overhear some bad language or an offensive chant or even catch something off one of the locals.

(Obviously when I wrote 'sophisticated' I meant 'complete fucking snobs with their heads so far up their own arses that they should do us all a favour and stay at home'.)

Guess it depends on your lived experience. Having been in the Vulcan once, I can see why Mary Ds would seem posh.

The shop I grew up in was opposite The Vulcan on Gorton Lane. Many a Friday night me and my little brother would sneak into our parent's front bedroom and be entertained by the fighting at throwing out time. So I know how rough Gorton was and I know that our club grew out of that same rough place.

I also know that sneering at people who you regard as inferior to yourself is not a good look.

I guess the mass brawl and police riot vans turning up put me off somewhat.

Having lived on Blackwin Street for 4 years, I can recommend the Steelworkers as a far better place to booze and have a laugh.

It's a small world and it takes all sorts...
