It gave me no pleasure to make that crack - it just seems sadly true.
I pestered my dad to take me a few times when I was 13 or 14, and I was lucky enough to catch the end of the Best, Law, Charlton, Morgan, Kidd etc team. He used to write off for tickets for seats behind the Stretford end.
And when I lived in Manchester in the 80's, you could decide at lunch time to go, queue up and pay at the turnstile, and I saw a bit of that less illustrious team.
Never go back, they say, and now it's too far, too dear and not good enough.

Very True Kev! My invitation tonight was as part of the prawn sandwich brigade and whilst it was nice to be asked, I have had my fill of corporate events!

I've no interest in pike, nor travelling too far to fish. However, if I did, I may be tempted to visit Chew. I have a couple of piking mates that go down every year in the hope of a monster. I'm more intrigued by the tales of big tench in there. I wish I'd heard those tales when I lived fairly near. However, my hazy memories suggest that there was nothing but fluff chucking allowed on Chew 26-27 years ago.
