In the mid 80s near the blossoms on bramall Lane their was a football programme shop, nothing amazing to look at but I spent so much money on my city away programmes as I didn't do them until I was about 17. The guy in there was a top bloke but I think he was a county fan. I think it's now a corner shop although it's on a bend, but I've never heard of a bend shop. Not far from majestic wines which I think was a cinema way way back. I've never really worked out if it was Davenport or Heavily but I'm just waffling nowThe blossoms, great pub.

It’s been a corner shop for years mateIn the mid 80s near the blossoms on bramall Lane their was a football programme shop, nothing amazing to look at but I spent so much money on my city away programmes as I didn't do them until I was about 17.

Hope they get relegated.One of the favourites for promotion again I believe.
Hope they get relegated.
Not for me, 25 year old rivalries aside, it’s brilliant for the community, a local lad made good(City fan) and all the local businesses they support.
Some of their fans are total wankers. But that’s not exclusive to them. We have plenty.

Vast majority who go now are rags and dippers from Stockport. In the 70s and 80s loads of City went. Still the odd one. The owner and trust patron are City but chose to invest. County are very lucky.Not for me, 25 year old rivalries aside, it’s brilliant for the community, a local lad made good(City fan) and all the local businesses they support.
