Maybe we could use “Thieves like us” for a topic about Dobbins supporters, “Touched by the hand of God” for a Knocker Norton thread and “True Faith” for when season passes are available.
The Salford home game thread could have been called “Procession”
I’ll get my coat…..
Saw New Order at Tower in 81/82, around the time they released Movement. It was one of the worst gigs I have ever seen in my whole life (and I've stood and watched a few dodgy bands in my time). They were in one of their we-can't-be-bothered-tonight moods. Peter Hook stood with his back to the audience for most of the (short) set.
Conversely, at Manchester Gmex in 1986, they produced a sky-scraping set which painted the heavens, concluding with a version of Temptation which threatened to raze the arena to the ground. I still recall walking out utterly stunned at the power and majesty of what I had just witnessed
That was the thing with New Order, you never quite knew what mood they would be in (archetypal contrary Mancs!!) or what they were about to serve up for your night's entertainment. You paid your money and you took your chance with them!
Any comparisons made between one of the UK's finest ever individualistic bands and a certain RL club not a million miles from here, is purely coincidental, but sometimes like souls find each other.
One thing's for sure, today is definitely a 'Blue Monday' for the faithful on here
And, on that pre-programmed note, I'll get my coat as well
