Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[oaklandrdblade]

Probably both, but it was the Blue Angels that Bert's memory recalls as a pretty nasty bunch.

Druids were based in Oughtibridge, they were supposedly involved in a murder that was the subject of a BBC 'Rough Justice' programme

 

[Sean Thornton]

I always thought it was the Druids

Think Bert is right. They had a link to Glasgow.

Werent the Druids Chesterfield way?

Edit, no they weren't !

Here you are Jonny;

another great shot which weirdly i actually have as a photograph...

when our St Georges Lane ground was closing down and we had a goodbye party to the old girl a few of us had some last drinks and sharing memories and stuff there was still a load of old pictures and pennants hanging up in the bar area and this photo along with some from the Liverpool game were unbelievably lying around so i snaffled them

I though the Druids base was Gleadless Town End
They used to chase us around Graves Park when we were baby skinheads

Isn't that Bernard Shaw. Graham left in 1967.

Quite possibly. I'm only going on what's written on the back. I was still in terry towelling nappies at the time!

That's why I thought they were Derbyshire based.

Same living in S2 with the Blue Angels in Town and Pond Street. A lot older than us 13/14 year olds and while I doubt now they would have done any serious harm to kids they were a bunch of bullying cunts if you bumped into them.

Yes, it's me, remember it well

Frequented Minerva Pub.

Any bollocks with the young greasers and they'd be sent for at the Minerva. The youngsters hung about in a coffee bar on the other side of the road from the Tartan Shop if my memory serves me correctly. Maybe just below.

That's exactly what they were fucking bullies they were 25 plus we were 14-15.
