Ticket
Manchester Polytechnic Cavendish House
21st February 1981

“I went to the matinee in the afternoon.”

“"Miles says it's genuine"...Am I right?”

“Definitely genuine mate. Ive kept all my tickets in a school jotter book ever since! Check out the others Ive uploaded (Apollo ect). Got absolutely no reason to manufacture it!! If you look very carefuly above the "B" of suBs and to the right of SOCIALS you can just make out a stamped number..I think it is 318.........................................AH! You SWINE!!Just peeled it out of the book for the 1st time in 28 years turned it over to describe the stamp on the back...and yes miles is centre circle topped by MPSU with POLY SOCIALS below! Ha Ha! Well done! Had me raging for a few mins there!! Fair play!!”

“The memory of the stamp just came to me. I recall it being in a circle. Maybe you can upload an image?”

“Yeah will do!”

“Done mate! sorted!”

“I went to the matinee also; the Subs were fantastic. It was my second gig, the first being the Fall at Silverwell Street in Bolton a month earlier and the third being Discharge at the Mayflower in May.
When we were queueing in the afternon for the Subs gig at the Poly I remember a mob of Man U fans rushing the line and we ran around the corner towards the Salutation. The police were also all over the place. No big deal in 1981 considering what was to come in the summer...”

“god bless you woody , you were always such a good collector . I love you x”

“Great Gig.”
