It should be stressed that this isnt about promoting or condoning violence.... IT ISNT.
To be fair, if this is effectively a meeting where many of those involved in pre-meditated violence in days gone by are actively reminiscing, therefore to all intents and purposes confessing their crimes, and guaranteed no punitive action (assuming they haven't been convicted for said act(s) previously), then it is actually condoning violence.
I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with any such meeting, I'm merely asking you to consider your comment before posting.
damn typos!

anarchicalan......... Good comments....The "reminiscing" has all been done in the books. The evening is all about the culture.... Violence is only a part of the story. We , the organisers are interested in the whole picture...hence the invite to Geoff Pearson.
There is so much more to this phenomenon than just the violence...... We dont feel that we are condoning the violence...and definitely do not want to glorify it in anyway..but we have to accept that it happened and that in order to understand why then it should be addressed too. Thanks though

I was involved in the past violence with Stoke in the 70s. Long before the N40 were ever heard of. It was one of those things that you were into or not.In those days it was going on all over the country not just in Stoke.
Meirsquare post it in here mate as I am in Liverpool and won't see the flyers mate.

"Lot of talk on N40 yesterday confirms the interest in this "
OK then so stop repeatedly bumping your thread. It's been here all week, anyone who uses the board will have seen it by now.
