SAVING THE TWISTED WHEEL As a representative of the, Save The Twisted Wheel campaign on Face Book and the club's current promoter Pete Roberts.

I can now tell you after discussions with the developers, Richard Goodwin their commercial Director.

Richard has kindly agreed to secure the building fabric,fixtures & fittings of the club for the purpose of preservation. Richard will also assist us in its removal if only in part, namely, The Stage room and surrounding structure if possible so it can be preserved for prosperity.

Richard has giving his verbal undertaking to the whole planning committee of Manchester city council in the public arena an confirmed by email to all concerned parties.

The purpose of this is so we can approach various local authority body's of Manchester in the aim to have the club or part of the club kept in the form of a Museum to the Blues & Soul artists who played at the club, many rising to world recognition, through a time of great change in their own country and in the UK. Also the Soul music that was first played in the club giving rise to The Northern Soul movement.

The Twisted Wheel club in Manchester is known as the birth place of Soul in the UK making this a truly Iconic Club, through out the world.

Sorry about that mike

Was late when I read the post on Facebook

Just wanted to share the news

that must be a fantastic outcome for all concerned, but it must also appear as an unexpected surprise as well,...the fact that the developers have recognised the importance and significance of this venue in a wider context only goes to show that respecting people's views and feelings is paramount and thus the numbing effect of the club's loss is tempered with the revelation that its inner heart will be preserved for posterity, wether in the confines of the new struture or deposited on a new site. what is for certain, is that the memory of its existance will never be diminished.

the legendary status came about viar northern soul fans later on ( that i would agree with ). but regarding the above statment i cant agree with as blues and soul music was being played at many clubs around the uk before during and after the wheel. each club had its own following and was popular within its own town or city ,

Well it's a shame that if you have nothing positive or constructive to add to the discussion that you do not go and watch third rate spurs more often and keep off of here

Dekka, ****** ... just ignore this thread & let the people who do care about the club engage in 'grown-up' discussion.

Who are you to tell me what to do.

Couldn't care less about your precious twisted wheel, infact i'm looking to win the demolition contract.

should be able to make a few bob there, that means more to me.

Well I will tell you what to do then, if you have no interest in the topic and couldn't care less then stay off the topic and read something else and contribute something positive elsewhere. No need for the type of comments you made just causing ill feeling.

Your post has been removed.

off topic posts removed.

Really don't get all the sentiment, just move to a different building

and call it the twisted wheel.

After all it wont be the first time.

Is that constructive enough chalky

Yep & then pull down Elland Road .... just move United to a different building .... play games in the future at Headingley.

I mean, who will care a jot, it would just be in a different building.

Better still, ground share with Dony Rovers, after all they have by far the better stadium.

and call it the twisted wheel.

There's that angst again. Dont like the topic, don't like the sentiment being expressed. So I know what I'll do I'll pretend to be funny and post some sarcastic comment. Comes across as being a complete fanny.

After all it wont be the first time.

Is that constructive enough chalky

Obviously not in the right place but I guess my point is made.
