Nah, in the old days he worked in a lumberyard, he was quintessentially a LUMBERJACK during the days........that's how he could afford his equipment
He cut down trees, he wears high heels, suspenders and a bra.

Thats the one.The gig should have been held in Bedford but the guy who organised it could'nt get a big enough venue,or something. Never heard a recording of the gig,but yes,it was a great night. The promoter was Dec Hickey.He managed to attract some great bands to Bedford in the early/mid 80s

There always seemed to be a big New Order following on the Kippax (Man City's massive terrace)in the mid to late eighties. It was covert, but the link was definately there............Ah, happy days

My first New Order gig (to which I was denied entry at the last minute) at Blackburn King George's Hall in 85
so you didn't actually go to your first gig?
I was refused entry to my first gig for being under 18.The Birmingham Powerhouse gig ,June 1984.Does it still count as my first gig??
And didnt' have much better luck at my second attempt ,the Birmingham Tower Ballroom gig Oct 86.Had to leave after 6 songs on that occasion to catch the train home as i had an important day at work the next day.What an idiot
.So does that count? .My first fully attended gig was Sheffield Roxy June 87.Got it right in the end but what a bloody pallaver:\ohwell:
2 classic moments come to my mind.
Macclesfield v Darlo game away in cup 88'. Saw a fucking proper 8 foot St. Georges flag with the words M.C.F.C 'Service Crew' / New Order emblasened across
Only a month later at G-mex the same said flag was again witnessed by mysel. 
97' Ireland away qualification game (eventually abandoned). got a classic photo of a geezer from Carlisle UTD with a flag reading 'Carlisle UTD Border Crew / U.V.F New Order'. Quite scarry looking back
Lads from most norvern towns would still scrap whether they were at footy or a norder gig believe me.
Blunderer - try and relate to positive shit eh, we've all been there at some point in our lives
talkin footie rucks?
United v Chelsea '82.
Chelsea headhunters in their heyday. They gassed a pub on their way into Manchester, (The Old Cock, Stretford)
Then after the end of the game their boys got out and stormed the stretty end. Panic struck.
Big riot for hours, I was a kid and couldnt get me bus home. Didnt stop my mate Chris lobbin a brick at a copper horse. Ever seen a copper fly? I have :have:
Ended up spending 2 hours in a riot. United vs Pigs.
Chelsea went home. It was a bit too rough for the Rent Boys.
Anyway, I'm bringin Chelsea down Aint that true B**zy?.

Isn't there a Norvern(Monkee) firm called 'Blue Order'?

Didn't Comrade Shampanyov used to call himself Blue Order, until he found out that it was associated with nasty things like violence and wasn't at all about teenage girls?

Happy days indeed. Lots of City fans within Factory. Rob Gretton drank in the Gardners near Maine Road every week, often with Mike Pickering and other Factory bods.
I remember Pickering commenting that The Gardners, after City were promoted in 85, was a snapshot of the Manchester music scene at the time.

Yes happy days indeed i whent in the Garners every City home game would meet up with Rob and all me mates had some funny times in that pub. Oh to be back at maine road now instead of eastlands.Was down in Rusholme the other week for afew jars and most of the pubs have closed down now a part from the Osbourne .
was at blackburn,,just remember lots of vodka per gig,,but yup it kicked of,,funny not a lot happened the next night in leeds ,,the only real fight i got involved with was at cardiff 83,,,, it was my mate and some "london" crew who had come over ,nothing like being outside the old factory club though..,,though it is fair to say the old 6.57 crew were bought up on joy division... so why dont the order play pompey ??

'Blue Order' is the name coined by the ahem official Rangers supporters singing section.
Fine upstanding pillars of society one and all.

They did, August 84. Biggest ruck I've ever seen at an Order gig. Half the crowd seemed to be involved!
pompey 84 is well legendary,,unfortunatley was in ibiza.. so why the 22 year wait ,,is it only cos half the crowd kicked off

I was at the blackburn gig.barney dedicated a song to a lad from blackburn that cant be here because he's been locked up. The thing is,it was for killing a carlise united fan at the carlise v blackburn boxing day match with a brick.

Me too. A 1-0 away win at Carlise over christmas,(new years day?) with around 8000 rovers around the ground. Kicking off all over the shop and big style in the car park after the game. It was my mates cousin who was banged up for the brick chucking. Scary for me as a 14 year old wannabe and a sad day. King Georges was just top though. I'd seen it go off a couple of years earlier at a PIL gig with some local punks at the same venue but it was nothing compared to this. Think the mancs turned town over that night. Give em that one!
