not a bad combination the smiths/football grounds. i must admit the current city ground is impressive, I work round the corner from it and when you look down the road it rises up like a spaceship! Not to keen on that b of the bang though, take yer eye out that thing|! :blink:

I need to do a Smiths tour as well. Beginning with a pilgrimage to the Salford Lads Club.

Jeff, definitely post us some pictures!

Jeff, did you get the book "Morrissey's Manchester" already? It's a M'ster city guide with the Smiths as main focus. You can order it at http://www.morrisseys-manchester.com

I need to visit some of those spots as well.

it's a great book (& not just coz I'm in the credits

) Phill is actually thinking about updating it & has been toying with the idea of doing a similar guide for the London, I have mentioned it in a thread on here somewhere tbh. But CP is spot on you must get a copy, it truly is a survival guide.

S'alright for me, I stroll ,literally, five minutes from my door and the cemetry gates are there.

I am new to this site. BTW it is awesome. I live in the United States (Texas) and will be heading over to Manchester for a few days. I was wondering if there was a tour or a guide to visit some of the areas that The Smiths spoke about (i.e Salford Lands Club, Holy Name Church...)?

Here is a site I made on my trip to Manchester...
Special thanks to Grim for sending me the "Morrissey's Manchester" book...

hi Jason.
that's a grand site you've sorted mate. I'll forward it to Phill (if that's ok), he's busy in London at the moment sampling beers in all the pubs/clubs etc associated with 'Morrissey's London book' (poor lad, all in the name of reseach eh?).
Scotland is still an open invite remember.

love

Grim

P.s. on the bit about the Free Trade Hall (where Moz & Linder went to see the Sex Pistols) it was the Buzzcocks that sorted the gig out & Linder was the artist/designer of their 1st UA single 'Orgasm Addict'.

This is really good - I'm moving to Manchester in a few weeks which is a bit daunting (as I've only ever been there for the day) but now I'll probably recognise loads of it - well the important bits anyway

Thanks!
