Wolverhampton

Anyone know it? Also feel like a brick has hit your head every time you go there?

 

[luka]

never been north of Hertfordshire. absolutely terrified of it.

 

[DLaurent]

It's where Goldie's from. Everything is gold round here. Even the fish.

Quest nightclub. Apparently very different to the Eclipse just the other side of the West Midlands in Coventry around the same time.

"Youwer old man's a West Brrom fan, fuck off, bollocks, youwera coont", as the chant goes babs.

Wolves exports a lot of people, always a contingent up to no good. Cool subbuteo kits.

Coventry's a nice place on the whole. Warwickshire. Lush green grass. Same county as Warwick and Leamington. Wolves are Staffordshire... dogs.

Coventry anthem for me... there's more... Doc Scott tunes...

I’ve been there a couple of times for work and am not really into it. Always try to wander around places and find the good stuff but it didn’t really happen for me.

They have an odd wall display celebrating music people from there, but Macka B isn’t on there.

 

[DLaurent]

Yeah they have the graffiti wall. There's not much to do in the Black Country as a whole so it explains the football hooliganism.

Aren't the Specials from Coventry?

Coventry had the Eclipse/Edge, the mixtape legacy is all over the net

Stourbridge is questionable because of the Wonder Stuff

 

[IdleRich]

Aren't the Specials from Coventry?

Yes.

 

[luka]

Beat Forest in the league cup final in 1980, but Forest have 2 European Cups

Nice daps Emlyn

 

[IdleRich]

He used to fucking twat that ball.... can't believe it was so long ago, in my mind he only retired a few years ago...

 

[IdleRich]

In fact when you think about it he had strength and speed, amazing shooting power, and most of all he had that natural striker thing where you're always first to react and happy to force it over the line with your thigh or whatever before the defenders sort out their legs. Great touch to bring the ball down to within range and then he'd pivot and twat it. Nice technique.
