Confirmed the story in Bournemouth tonight. Kicked off big style in the George Tapps (aka Litten Tree). Unfortunately wasn't there. Ran into a few rags elsewhere. Just come down for the game. Middle aged. Had a bit of a laugh with them. "Where you from?"...."Manchester"..... "oh aye, whereabouts?"......."Salford"!!!!!!!........"You do realise that Salford never has, nor ever will be....." et bloody cetera.
I think they got it. Apart from anything else, his wife had a rather nice chuff, so I wasn't up for upsetting them, just on the off chance.
