The Tempest Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 This was my first true journey into deepest darkest allnighter land ! Me & my mate had just turned 15 yrs and were well involved into the " CASUAL " element of the football side of things ! We both finished school and told both sets of parents we were staying at each others , Falkirk train to Glasgow , Glasgow south changed at Birmingham arriving late ! Change to Leicester !!! Dodging " Casual " crews throughout , we arrived later that evening , Happy days , Saturday morning , invited to a couple of away games , but we're only baby / youth !!!!!!!! All lot has been said regarding the " Casual " element of the scenes involvement , but I bear a witness to " RIVALS " that afternoon and " BROTHERS " that night , ah the 80's !!!!!

purist Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Pretty sure quite a few assorted black country types & wheatsheaf regulars are in these photos. In the top right hand photo I think the lad in the red sweatshirt is Steve Powell, and the lady with her back to the camera is his wife? Oddfellows always had a good turnout from our area. Also of course the irrepressible, exuberant, lovely human being known to one and all as Pickle (R.i.p.) appears in the same photo. I always thought of it as a Niter that didn't take itself too seriously, even though they had some of the best dj's around at the time, which made it special in its own way. I love getting the old videos out and watching them, being transported back to a happier, more free and easy time. Like wise when I'm out somewhere whenever I hear a tune that I think of as an Oddfellows tune.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
