moss side early 80s

[raglanblue]

as an away fan and a blue scouse at that,moss side was indeed a dodgy place to go. but was it any different to a walk to any ground , not really. only time i felt uneasy was at the colin bell testimonial as all of manchester seemed to be out that night ;-) seven sisters was a long walk and you just kept your wits about you, no easy grounds to get to in the 70s and 80s really. moss side was like walton without the blacks, and if everton/ liverpool played in toxteth am sure it would be the same scenario.

Seven Sisters??????????

think he is on about the tube station;at spurs; a few incidents in the 70s;early 80s.

never ever came to city by coach, always on the train to oxford road and a walk / run/ sprint to maine road. united was a worse ground to get to i thought, less routes and more chance of being ambushed on the crossing. city was okay as long as you was clued up and stuck together. always gave the robin hood a miss and knew not to go up the coaches as that was where you would be ambushed.

My Uncle Brian was the steward at Moss Side legion (not sure it was in the 80s though). And his nephew was Mark Lillis.

Hi Mark ;)

I thought he meant the seven blocks of flats just the other side of Moss Side precinct.

They were known as that locally. Just past Loreto college.
