Again, if I'd have said that I'd have been berated. It's certainly a United shirt.

Why would you have been berated? If you mean my comment was motivated by it being a Man United fan you are jumping to an incorrect conclusion. When I wrote that post identification of it being a United fan had yet to be established. In actual fact I was responding to red devil alluding to it being a 180 which of course is impossible with a single dart.

It could be a Huns scarf, blue and white, with a thin red stripe...


I don't think the perpertrator could actually miss Ratty! Having said that, it looks like one of those darts you get at the fun fair which is specially weighted to miss the board...Jah, didn't Pat Jennings get hit with a dart?


I remember a Utd fan got hit with a dart in his head at Anfield in the Annie Road end, nowadays we have to make do with bags of shit thrown at us...nice

Ditto Villa Park FA Cup semi, Utd v Gooners. Consider it a rite of passage Ratty, animals scenting out their territory.


Does anyone remember 'Fighting Stars', part of the 70's Kung Fu craze?..

Ok, it's a given that mancs and scousers hate each other, but this survey of Ldn fans throws up some strange rivalries, no prizes for guessing which teams fans have grown a recent dislike to Shef Utd, eh Quids?..

Your right it wasn't undercover filming, I remember the interviews on the trains, but by 'expose' I meant it was probably the first time a lot of the public got to see and hear young men basically saying they go to a football match just for a good old fashioned punch-up...

What were the politics of the ICF?, again from memory there would be several black faces in their ranks (Cass Pennent?), but West Ham also had a strong NF reputation around that time. At Utd the bias was very anti-fascist, especially as there was strong support from a large Irish community...

I am an easy going chap MM, and small - I just started going to West Ham home and away in the late 70s and especially away you got to know a lot of people, that'a all. At that game at man U I was atill in the ground watching West Ham get stuffed rather than outside doing all that shite. That was then etc.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
