Another absolute classic. In an era when everything in football is disposable, or judged largely by its price, or by how much attention it generates online, you single-handedly fly the flag for the precious nooks and crannies of social history and popular culture that the game is doing its very utmost to shed. Even now, there can’t be anyone else in the UK that does the kind of things that you make, do and write. Modern football is indeed truly shit. Keep on reminding us Mick of that time when it wasn’t.

Micky I went to school on a Clayton Bros coach. On occasions it was driven by a real Clayton. I look out for them when I am back in Leicester but haven't seen one for ages. Are they still going ? Or crushed beneath the behemoth that is Ausden Clark?

I don't think Clayton's are running now, As I was planning this model I just scanned through the web to see If I could find a couple of Duple Dominant coaches, I'm a 'model pedant', Has to be correct era and stuff. Clayton's was a name that was seen at City matches in the seventies. Wainfleet was my mode of away transport for all my away games, apart from one, Harlow in a mini, I've still got my three-quarter completed obituary that I wrote on the way.

Any names ? I recall a number of people in my sister's era, and the street I was born on had quite a few from that time

I suppose it was a long shot as I am not familiar with those names.
I do know that Steven Quinney, Kevin Arnold, Darren Hutchinson, Paul Whitehouse, Chris Driver, Paul Winkless, Steven Danson were a few in my local area that were there around that time.

I was on it, the OB was directing us away from the town centre as half a dozen of us jumped of and went for a booze. Kicked off in the ground with Monsell and Loughborough.
