I assume someone said to him "Lowry lad, tha's forgotten the roof on't Lever End"

That picture in the BEN in Tango's post of Worthy & Whatmore celebrating. Frankie had just scored with a great diving header against Mansfield. Remember it like it were yesterday.

There wouldn't have been any LL way, would there?

Can't remember any mills in that direction CAPS, but he's probably just taken artistic licence to represent Bolton as a milltown.

Is there only me that considers Lowry's Going to The Match to be complete and utter shite (along with most of his other stuff to be fair)?

If he had said it was Old Trafford everybody in England, and especially Bolton, would have said it was a load of shite .

As a piece of art it's utter crap. The linear perspective's all to cock and tell me this - the people in the 'Lever End', how did they get in it and how are they supposed to get back out?

As you know from another thread, great art is for the few to understand and the rest of us to be completely baffled by. I fall into the latter class.

Factories, buildings and streets, woven into a "vision". As Lowry said, "If I had shown things as they are, it would not have looked like a vision. So I had to make up symbols. With my figures also, of course".

If that bridge had "Guy Fawkes was right" painted on it, I'd believe you.
