I only went a couple of times with other students from the Poly. Some of them stuck out a bit because they were not from the area many came from Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle etc. It sounds from other posts it had gone down hill a bit then, with the NF affecting things.
I remember when we played Newcastle in August 1977, the Sex Pistols had played I think the night before at te RG under the name of the Stooges, and some fans in the Holgate were still buzzing. I was too young, but I remeber a friend at school in Whitby said his sister went, it was like saying you had seen the Beatles when they were brand new i.e very cool for a teenager.
