Hey we used to do that, they used to stay warm for ages.
Only problem was when they rolled out of the bed!

Stanley v Blackburn Rovers FA cup replay at Peel Park. It went to extra time so maybe you saw a little bit of it? We beat 'em 3-1 too!

Well done ASFC1951--- No, we didn`t make it got about as far as going up Avenue Parade and met the crowds coming down -- went on coach to Maine Rd only to be saddened as you will know.

I am too young to say anything about remembering things. You will all know as its probably only a few years ago.
I remember working at Halfords and it suddenly burnt down around me. Hows that?

That's some memory Damers!!

Just because you are young doesn't exclude you from this section
Must be lots of things from your childhood that will ring a pleasant bell with your peers

I was forgetting, Bert, matches kicked off earlier in winter back then as floodlights hadn't been invented. Remember my dad telling me about the match - Bulloughs closed down for the afternoon, so their employees could go and watch the game. Like, you he went on a coach to Maine Road to see their subsequent defeat at the hands of City.

Does anyone remember all the great old pubs that are now no more. Obviously, the Bull on Bull Bridge, but what about the more obscure ones like the Grants Arms, the Palatine and the Union? Spent many a appy hour in all of those in the '70's.

Talking about toilets i remember the newspaper, slinging your bum over a wooden plank with a hole in it.The old tin bath that came out every Friday in front of the fire while your parents were boiling the water up on the gas cooker.Where neighbours talked to each other and kids could talk to strangerswithout you having to be worried.
Them were the days.
