My parents lived there some years back.

On match days traffic would be stopped from entering the area close to the stadium.  The roads would be heaving with fans on foot.  I'd have to cross the Police line to visit my folks on London Road.

I was a motorcyclist then.  Quite often I would be escorted by a mounted Police officer until they were satisfied that I was genuinely visiting a resident.  Those horses are impressive.

Have a pint in The Cabbage Patch for me!
