Jon Travis_Bickle If that's where I think it is, only went once. Hated it. Jooves had a much better vibe. Seen a gun in Jooves but never any hassle.
Mike_Jones Be great if managers did this these days, once you've bought a new player you walk him out of his old club with a "look what I've just bought" look on your face
Flaneur Yeah, if there was a Customer Services pick up point in the club you bought them from. Manager's sat on waiting room chairs. Magazines piled up on tables. A thermostat that doesn't work and a plant that can survive without water.
Jon king_of_the_slums Used to pick up hockey tickets in a bar just a couple of doors in from that corner. Not in 78 mind.
Jon king_of_the_slums Thought so but wasn't sure. Mate of mine got an awful hiding in there. Put cigs out on him and he lost lots of blood.

When the police went to the scene, they discovered young people with button-down shirts, cropped chinos, colourful tartans and madras, brogues, haircuts with 7/3 parting. The agents encountered the aibii style, a distortion of the English word "Ivy" (the Ivy League look is a style born on American campuses). Throughout the summer, magazines ran a series of scandalous headlines blaming these young people who were hanging out in Ginza, nicknaming them the Miyuki Tribe (Miyuki zoku). Rather than studying, the Miyuki preferred to chase, shop and flirt, can you blame them? (Maybe a little) The media attacked the Miyuki severely and unanimously, considering them as young delinquents. Their biggest crime, putting sticks in the Japanese Olympic dream that was supposed to bring them back to the international community. Shopkeepers complained that the youths were harming local commerce and elected officials feared that foreign diplomats would pass them on their way to sports stadiums. Everyone thought that without intervention, Ginza would become a " home of evil ". And on the night of 12 September 1964, one month before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, a vast operation was launched to stop the Miyuki Tribe. They arrested anyone wearing a Button-down or a JFK haircut. More than 200 arrests later the adults had won the battle. But the Japanese youth won the war.
