Were these battles formal? Did each side have standard bearers proudly waving the flag?

ManxMelody Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Fortunately this sort of thing is rare on the Isle of Man, that is whenever there is no 'r' in the month or 'y' in the day of the week. It was very rare until the place became full of "comeovers" If it weren't for "comeovers" we'd all be related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Take Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 LOL at keyboarder's comment. Edited to add - don't know why I posted this, it doesn't really add to the chit chat or anything. I must be an egomaniac or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxMelody Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Foxdale Quite possibly, but I was thinking more Ramsey and the north (although I'm not gonna be popular now - oh well, you can't miss what you never had LOL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It is thought the group got off the last bus from Douglas to Ramsey prior to the fight taking place. Make a good film title that - 'Last bus from Douglas.' Sort of post apocalyptic Mad Manx storyline. Quick someone phone Zac Efron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I may have dreamed it. arr the last bus back through Pully... nope it was not a dream . We need a local mythbusters agency. I know people who insist that in the 1970s there were running battles between Douglas lads and locals in the streets of Castletown. Growing up in the area I told the person, who had heard it from her sister, that she was talking shite. Next time she told the story in my presence it got changed to "I remember seeing it myself, I was there". Whereas I am sure there were scenes of violence and rivalry between youths and any neighbouring village or towns I think it is about time this old myth between running battles in the streets between [enter Manx village/town here] and [enter Manx village/town here] needs resolving.

Dave Hedgehog Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm struggling to understand why the Douglas to Peel bus would take a diversion through Pulrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
