[There is a Light]

I honestly can’t remember which page I saw it on but pretty sure it was Real Guvnors. it was within the last month. Hang on, let me have a look. They were definitely blues.

Really hope you’re right. I love that photo, and it will be instantly ruined if they turn out to be United.

I don't think this can be at Maine Road - the terraces were too high to be overlooked by the houses and the houses are wrong for the area. Perhaps Alexandra Park or Platt Fields?
