"I've never seen her since that night. That's it, I don't think of her that often. That's my trip down memory lane over too"

"The last time I saw her wasn't here over a coffee but over a tandoori. She was with her family, I was with mine sat near the football shirts. I don't think she recognised me"

"I used to see her every game but then she got a job at what we used to be call the grapes and I used to speak to her every Friday night. All I said though was 'the usual'. You can buy coffee there now"

"I prefer the edgeley park side where we used to sledge. The next time I saw her she worked at the ground before games, selling pasties. I'd stopped speaking to her by then"

"Enjoyed my time here. In the winter we used to sledge down the hill together towards the reservoir. It was a good run if you hit the fence."
