Sweep Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It's interesting that there used to be rivalries between certain areas, and enough of it for there to be rucks. You just don't see this sort of stuff anymore (unless it does go on, and I'm oblivious to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athywhite1958 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Atherton v Tyldesley was always 'lively' in either town if you ventured on to their patch, we had Atherton Crombie Boys v Tyldesley Crombie Boys then a few skinheads joined in, the fashionable 70's were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just don't see this sort of stuff anymore (unless it does go on, and I'm oblivious to it) Think a lot is born from school stuff, always has been over here anyway. Remember areas had little firm names when all that was all the rage in the late 80s early 90s when my brothers were at high-school.

Members DazBob Posted July 22, 2022 Members Share Posted July 22, 2022 I lived in Slaithwaite (or Slawit) for a while around 20 years ago. If anyone from Marsden dared to venture down for a pint it was like the early scene from American Werewolf in London. A hush would descend on the pub and there'd be mutterings. "Wot's 'e dowin' darn 'ere. E's from Maaarsden". Proper weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted July 22, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2022 As a teenager, we’d have gang fights with Breightmet (top o’th brow) one week and then mob up with them to have a scrap with Hall i’th Wood. Mad days. If I recall correctly, we did more planning than actual fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I bet you heard, second hand, about tremendous fights that had occurred previously (that clearly never happened) I remember when I was at Turton, hearing about legendary battles they'd had with Sharples and Canon Slade, when all sorts had happened (people hit with shovels and hammers and the such like) which had definitely never actually happened......in my 5 years there, I don't think anything ever happened.
