These were in the 'temporary' stand that was 'temporary' for about 10 years!!!!

Longer than my permanent 1st marriage

Aww cheers, sorry for the off topic speech!

I think I had a short lived Twitter account years ago under the ett photography name that I put some pics on, let me have a google...


Edit - that was quick and easy!

only one of my Maine Road pics on there though, I think I gave up on the Twitter idea very quickly!

Nah, that's an arrow pointing to walk round the church, saying "Popular side terraces via Kippax st and yew tree road". You could get in the scoreboard end from next to the main stand, but would have to walk round to get to kippax street. So a bit of poetic license on that painting.

But you could go in at those entrances and simply walk round to the Kippax Stand as it was one large terrace with open areas at the back just like the Kippax had !

Maine Road will always hold special memories
The ground the friends we made along the way
the friends we’ve lost loved Maine Road

Took this today.....thought this place would have gone by now.

I went in there in a suit once straight from work (about 5 years ago) and someone asked the people I was with if I was a Jehovah's Witness.

What do you call a scouser in a suit?

Appreciate these photos as they rekindle my youth

You will get through the darkness just take 1 day at a time

Thanks, to you and everyone who's said positive things. Have an appt tomorrow where they're going to tell me what the biospy showed. Hopefully nothing.. So distracting myself before bed - found this of mine buried on this PC, i'd plastered the copyright on it years ago, somewhere i have the orig..

anyway, this was a year to the day after the last Maine Road derby, taken 9 nov 2003. That first season at eastlands (as was) we went to Maine Road first for tradition, every match. Some workman let us in for 5 min, and this is the result.

I had 80 on my shirt with it being 80 years at Maine Road obvioulsy - though i remember the staff at the store printing it didn't have a clue.. Anyway, 100 years this August, times flies doesn't it.

Night night.
