Which secondary school did you attend?

Which was the closest secondary school to Maine Road? At St Pius we all thought it was us, but Birley and Ducie also apparently claimed the same thing

Of the three, Ducie was the closest. But as close was Xaverian College, (there must be only 100 yds or so in it), which is where I went 1971 -1976.

It's proximity to Maine Rd was very handy in Jan 1974, when I played wag to go and watch City V Coventry in the League Cup Qtr final replay. They played it midweek during the day, (because of the power cuts that were common that winter), and my mum and dad wouldn't let me take the day off school to go to it.

I did admit it though, sometime in my thirties I think! :)

Should your 'handle' not be 100%Boltonian then?



No why?


It's called sarcasm as you said you went to a school in Bolton. It's obviously passed you by,never mind! Yet another one who takes everything literally on here. If it was meant to be taken literally i'd be quizzing you about your place of birth ffs.
No doubt you're going to tell us all now where you were born just so it gets all cleared up?
 
Late on this one, and can't be arsed trawling 30 odd pages to see if anyone else went to Brookdale Park in Newton Heath....?

(Used to regularly spank those nancies at Moston Brook... )

I'm 32 now and as far as I am aware several on here were at the school at the same time and probably know me.

I was there 94 - 99.

Me too if my math is correct, lol. You will know me then! There is only one person I speak to from there now tbh.

Like you, Vienna, I went to Xaverian but only for sixth form, 86-88. The back wall of St Pius was probably only 100 yards from Xavs so I still reckon we might have been a bit closer to Main Road than Ducie, which was off Denmark Road I think. Apparently SWP and Ned also went to Xaverian more recently. Did we used to send Academy lads there or something?
