Great quality photos, makes it look like yesterday!  A change from all the little scrapbook snaps.

 

I had forgotten some of those people in the pictures, it's only when you see them you remember!

I would say, definitely a weeknight do.

Weeknight do's were difficult....take yer bird on the 640 on a Thursday and sit on the balcony whilst The Nutty Boys did their stuff underneath..am I dating myself there?? ;)..I always oddly on the midweek do's used to sit above where I used to sit at all nighters...three pints and a fumble and I tried to get out and to the bus station home before I got the Wigan Lad....'You're near the gas Marrer' line.

One thing I will say is that I'm pleased I did used to go to Wigan in real life....as it was a very different place when it weren't a Nighter...I saw, smelt and felt it in a very different way at that time...I saw it in real time.

By the wY in case you're wondering I am still in the pub...I have had no tea...and this fifth pint is kicking in haha.

Speak to you in the morning, before I become Barold Of Old ;) x

They look like some swings to me?

 

 

On the pictures, I'm not a fan of 70s northern soul attire at the best of time, but dear lord the kids in the earlier pictures cant be hard core northern soul followers can they?!?  :elvis:  

 

I'm afraid we all dressed like that in 75, I was only 14 though :huh:

Cheers Harry...see you in the morning lad. X

Genuine question - what are those wooden (?) structures in the background?

 

It must be obvious but I'm not getting it . . . . . . . . .

 

These lads are the Casino Crusaders, taking a well earned break from manning the trebuchets, as they lay siege to the nearby hamlet of Warrington.
