It would have meant no Internet, No PS3/X Box, Pubs that shut at 3pm and don't open again until the evening, three TV channels, some of which went off air in the afternoon and before midnight, rubbish cars that broke down almost weekly, etc.

Ah but CBM 64's, assembly code programming in a darkened room to make a few sprites move about. Halcyon days my friend.

Storage heaters, brutal welsh P.E. teachers, going everywhere by bus,having to tuck your jeans into your socks whenever you rode a bike cos your flares where so Gi'nourmous

Phone boxes to make a call. Buses that had conductors. Ash trays in mcdonalds. Soda streams. Back passes to the goal keepers. Climbing frames and swings that were above concrete floors. Getto blasters and multoloured illuminess socks.
Clouts round the ear from some random adult for being cheeky.
Ski sunday and kick start.


The list goes on and on. I miss those days.

Would swap late 80's/early 90's for any of the rollocks you have today, better music, clobber, football played in proper grounds, far fewer muggy replica shirts, no political correctness, no souless shopping precincts and, best of all, fewer people completely consumed by greed. Parents that actually tried bringing up their kids. People have just become saturated with everything these days, it's all far too easy. Back then the "I'm alright Jack" attitude started by Thatcher was only starting to take hold.

In my day...

 

[hamburgshrimper]

Careful what you wish for.

Aldershot, Dagenham, Torquay, Accrington, Barnet, Hereford, Macclesfield ..............................................................................................................

Visiting crappy old grounds might not be as far away as you might think.

I think the Germans have got the right idea with new stadia that still cater for terracing with great atmospheres being generated.

Just over a tenner to stand at the excellent Shalke stadium in Gelsenkirchen.
