We`d had a few sherbets in the Beehive watching the Jamaicans playing dominoes, where we had never seen the "bones" thrown down so hard, so I`m grateful we were a lot of "posh bastards" as I could not have stood up, as we only left the "hive" at 2.40 but managed to get in for K/O. Honest story that Andy. HIC "!!!The North Stand ? Posh bastard ;-)

Many years ago (true story) way back in the 1990`s I collected Beer Mats and one of the Organisers held a Meeting on Stalybridge" Station in the beer room which was one of the first to sell "Real Ale".A long way? There is no where on this earth that is far enough away from that shithole. And yes, before you ask, I have lived there.
Bloody hell SQ69 we loved it and for us it was such much better than the bloody big pub (pissing me off now the name) but it was opposite the best chippy around Maine Road and on the main road going into town !!! This bloody big pub was Whitbread one and the bouncers would only let you in if you threw a couple of bob into the charity bucket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Miss the Beehive fantastic bitter for half nothing within staggering of Maine Rd.
Your last line was "Why don't United fuck off home?".Sorry but you`ve completely lost me. Seriously !!
Home or off, the song was much better with the rendition that we really didn`t (and still don`t) give a fuck. ;)Your last line was "Why don't United fuck off home?".
Mine merely omits the "home".
It echoes what my feelings are, and always have been, for them.
The Lees must have put a downer on things.Many years ago (true story) way back in the 1990`s I collected Beer Mats and one of the Organisers held a Meeting on Stalybridge" Station in the beer room which was one of the first to sell "Real Ale".
If anyone knows the size (or as it was in those days) try having a Meeting with 50+ people in there.
Before we went back into Manchester 12 of us went into a Curry House next to the station which I am almost certain had the one and only name of "Y".
Can someone please confirm this, but have to say that the beer on Stalybridge Station was wonderful and upon returning back into Manchester we had a couple of pints in a Lees put right inside the centre of town.
It re But I agree that the bitter really was superb. HIC !!!Really was a great pub and I may be wrong but wasn`t it a J.W. Lees House ???Miss the Beehive fantastic bitter for half nothing within staggering of Maine Rd.

Honest mate I had no problems with Lees ... when it was kept on song. Seriously. Not had it for years so no idea how good it still is ?? :)The Lees must have put a downer on things.

Ah that well be correct mate as the pub "Q" rings a bell. And yes it did sell curry but way back then so few pubs sold curries.There was a pub called The Q Inn so at one point the town had the pub with the longest and shortest names in UK. Not sure about curry place though. The buffet bar is pretty decent.
