I apologize, but I had a few mates taxed at knifepoint outside Shelleys and TBH it was a relief when the "scene" shifted back to Liverpool/ Manchester.
Let's just say, the Trent Tavern would be my Local. I'm not in High School anymore, but I did go Berry Hill (I'm sure that's what you're thinking of, although Mitchell is also close.)
talking about the shelleys days has made me think if i was a boxer i'd be shane mosley... .....still got a few tricks up my sleeve but i'm past my best and i took drugs.
Berry Hill had a bit of a rivalry with Mitchell. There were a few big fights on Twigg Street. In one of them, riot police had to come down apparently.
I did not go into stoke itself, I went in on the coach and got a police escort away from the ground. But the ground itself was ok I suppose.
