Yes Mitchells were on the other side of Bury New Road from SVH iirc. I used them to hire a van when I first moved house in 1980.same as ...or Mitchells van Hire. No seats in the back.....full of loons
We always tried to hire a minibus but if they had none to hire then a van had to make do.
We went to Bristol City in 1977, starting off at midnight from Piccadilly Gardens. All pissed up lying all over the back of the van.
Then a few weeks later going to Derby County (when Big Joe made them paint the penalty spot) in the back of a Luton van.
Hanging out of the back with the shutter up,throwing empty cans and apple cores at the rags waiting at bus stops in Hazel Grove,New Mills and Whaley Bridge etc. A fucking laugh a minute to be honest,my best days of being a City fan.
And we nearly won the league that year as well.
