The Athletic interview with Noel Gallagher

[Prestwich_Blue]

That was the 'new' Conti. The old Conti was on Oxford Street opposite the Palace Theatre. Small door, knock twice and say you were a medical student.... in you went.
Down a narrow stairway ino a land of hidden delights, hard chairs, proper Stella Artois and piss flooded toilets.

The new Conti was a much more refined venue.

The original Conti was off Whitworth St, so down the side of the Palace. The new Conti was on Oxford Street, opposite the Palace.

walked to knutsford services?!

To a wintry midweek game at Stoke?

If it's a true story I'm going for 80-81, if only because I was already on a coach en route to Stoke when the original Saturday game was postponed.

16 miles - around 6 hours. Time would fly by dabbing away at a bag of speed as was de-riguer back then.

As insults go, I'd take it. Proper badge of honour. And those in the know will agree, Pickering on a Fruday night was the best night in the Hac...you can keep your Graham Park ;)

Looks like the sort of place where the bouncers door staff would throw you in!

you would think that being refused entry into The Conti would ruin your night out, fortuntely there were places available in 70/80s Mcr, which didn't hold the same high standards for admission...
