Harringtons in Tooting is still going strong, there's a new pie & mash shop in Fulham Munster rd i think it is, i remember the shop on the Wandsworth bridge rd but cant remember the name, one shop that stands out is the GO GAY launderete, it used to amuse me as a snotty nosed kid after games & driving past that gaff.

I've got a Manzies p&m shop 10 mins from my front door, lovely grub, i'd take it over curry anyday of the week as i hate the stuff.

Do they still do eels and mash, and is there Chili vinegar?

Not related to ANGELA MANZIE per chance ?

Don't think so

Manzie's was a pie and mash shop down Tower Bridge Road.

So was Cooke's down the cut at Waterloo but nothing to do with Charlie

Don't want to start a pie and mash war here but Cooke's was the best!!

Shep and neame reduced the gravity of hurlimans mid eighties. It really used to knock you bandy! Didn't stop us drinking it though :)

Not in a million years, harringtons, all day long !!

 
Ive never tasted a Harringtons , but by all accounts from pie n mash folk , it seems COOKEs gets the nod

 
The good old bad days, for me was having a beer and a laugh with like minded people and if situations occur then so be it. I loved the mid 80s and early 90s and gutted how things have changed. My mates still take the piss out of me getting a kicking at Cambridge train station, i'd rather have memories like that then what we have these days, Chinese photographers and people moaning because you keep standing up, carefree!

By the way, I don't think I ever went on one of Hickey's coaches, but knew him of old, way back when he was just one of that lot from Tunbridge Wells.

Similar to that.Everyone knew there were different groups from all over but you probably didn't know them individually and didn't really care as long as they were Chels and appeared when required as in the away support sense.We were too busy doing our own coaches etc to think about tagging on to any others.

Blimey anytime now whenever in new company and you mention the Chelsea thing,the amount of times you're asked if you knew the lot from Woking/Battersea/Hastings etc,or any other town in the south east.

Sometimes,It was more about what pub you drank in than where you were from which gave you an identity.If you were away you'd see people from the Brittania,Ifield,Dray,Stars or Imperial and even without colours be able to make a familiar connection.Or just a nod from a distance was enough to proclaim to your pals "they're Chelsea".

Unlike today their wasn't a lot of flags or banners and even fewer of those had your town or postcode on.  

Me and me mates went to a lot of games in our days - both home and as many away. Talking about from the early 70´s onwardrs till around 90´s-Yes we all knew tha names (babs, Danny, Hicky etc) but never really "KNEW" them lads. Saw them around even chatted to them but never realy mixed with them. But it was always good to see them at the many away grounds we visited. BTW the old second div days were madness!!! How i still miss those times. 

And as for getting involved, in those days it was something we all did.

 
 All these catalogued memories are a past that i wish some newer Blues could experience,but,alas, they never will and we shall never see the likes of again...Our history....Our wonderfull catalogued memories. These will all die with us..Maybe now and again our children will include in a conversation in some pub in Fulham rd......." My Dad used to say.................".......And maybe when were all gone another generation will read these sites and wonder

Wandsworth bridge road one used to stay open til f**k knows what time at night, maybe the owner was drinking the rocket fuel liquor.

The Walworth Road one hasnt been the same for years, i remember going there as a kid after a trip to whitehall clothiers for some lois jeans and the little shop opposite the P and M shop that sold Kickers.

Random saturday morning memories.
