All the hospital staff go for cigs at one end and kids burn wheely bins and drink vodka at the other. Strangely any K2 escapees would always shun the ginnel, heading down for the bright lights of Greenland or Bradford roads instead. Even the K2 escapees had sense in that respect.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 It's a synthesis of ibogain spliced with ayhuasca that's had two moles of hydrogen rearranged - laced with oxazepam as a chaser to float you down on a silver benzo cloud...

bolton va va Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ā One that i don't think has been mentioned, & not the largest in numbers, but was one of the most impressive turnouts, was the night replay down at Southampton Ā ( FelgateĀ š¬Ā )Ā . That was in the early days of our comeback but showed the potential of our support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which connects Lever Edge/Green Lane area to Townleys before any Plumb Lane 'jokes'. I'm sure I remember some ripper graffiti in Bolton though I may have imagined that. Sutty's antics and John Lennon being shot are amongst my earliest memories. There was another ginnel leading up to Plodder Lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It crosses Minerva Road (THE ginnel) and continues all the way to Linnyshaw (give or take a few more road crossings). But, yeah, you're right, their is A ginnel - less dodgy as the previous section as there's houses on side and the hospital on the other, and there's not that much saving cutting up it compared to going up Broadway etc. whilst the previous bit saves loads compared to going through Greenland or Bradford roads but is sided by Townley's farm and the railway hill and is...there used to be a word for it, like quiet, can't remember... Anyhow fuck knows how trains got under the bridge at Lever Edge Lane to soon end up on that hill, must've been some incline. Apparently some Midlands chancer has bought that land, the hill I mean, our land as taxpayers by rights (as former railway land) and has planning for a 'conference centre'. I used to think it'd never happen due to the cost of clearing the hill, but they flattened the opposite side you refer to. It's up for sale with planning for housing with a crackers asking price (the levelled land next to your ginnel).
