XTC - Towers of London

I remember the Ewood Express getting turned back at Crewe on the way to Eastville in the early 70s as word had got through that the pitch was waterlogged. Years later they laid on a train for Rovers fans for the FA Cup semi final at the Millennium Stadium, it left from Manchester Piccaddilly at silly o'clock in the morning.

Was that the 'v-sign' one Tony? Blimey I remember them.

I reckon it was Brentford away. Then we got sussed out and have been rotten ever since, despite winning/scabbing a few games.

I remember that Tony. I'm pretty sure I travelled to Notts County in an end-of-season 0-0 draw as a member of RATC.

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

Bill Withers - Use Me

I sold mine to a Jam memorabilia collector 25 years ago. Certainly not for £900 but it did end up in the book that accompanied the Jam box set anthology, which I was chuffed about. Same fella was behind the Jam exhibitions in London and Liverpool 5 or 6 years ago.

All the pics are from December 1979 and I’m not in any of the after show pics although I did manage to make up for that when they returned in June 1980 thankfully. That ‘79 gig remains the best concert I have ever been to, and that includes Live Aid!
