Thanks Torch56 - great insight. I saw it mentioned elsewhere that someone remembered a writer in Blues & Soul had some Wheel patches made up and 'write in' for details
Cheers Mithras - Whitworth Street Twisted Wheel closed in 1971 so still wonder if the club produced the patch or a fan/outsider
Also do you know about the Blackpool Coronation Street Twisted Wheel connection? Wonder when that closed?
Thank you - really great insight here
So seems like most patches were produced by 3rd parties as tributes by individuals/groups rather than the clubs themselves. Wigan Casino being the main exception here
The red rose is the emblem of Lancashire - wonder if that offers any clue
So seems like Twisted Wheel patches were produced after the club closed in '71
Wonder if Va Va & Torch patches were produced officially by the clubs or as tributes
Thanks all. Really good insight.
Wonder if the Torch produced any patches itself while it was still open in '73 or wether all Torch patches are post closure tributes
Thank you - good to gain a better understanding regarding the origins of patches within the scene
I wonder which club produced the first patch? And wether it was mainly clubs that made them or tribute's from fans/dancers
Thanks. Wonder who produced that Twisted Wheel patch post closure? Was it the clubs owners?
Interested to know the origins of patches in general - which clubs made their own etc
Really appreciate your knowledge sharing here
Thanks for the reply.
So are all Twisted Wheel patches post 1971? The club never made them?
Someone also said Blackpool Mecca didn't make patches either?
Is that right?
