Visited Affleck's Palace at the weekend to see how the place is fairing up these days in the face of the recent takeover. I'd not been in for a good 12 months, and my other 'arf hadn't been in for years.
It still provides something unique to Manc, but I was horrified when I was looking at badges. I casually asked the trader if he had any NO badges to which he replied, "I've not had any for ages, but I think we have a couple of NO t-shirts." He passed me over to his pal who showed me the TWO remaining t-shirts they had for sale; a Movement t-shirt, and a Substance t-shirt.
I bought the Movement t-shirt for a tenner, but left feeling a tinge of sadness that for all their influence on Manc, Affelck's only had one NO t-shirt left to show for it.
Old age is creeping up on me... :(
