Can this old dog learn new tricks? Cheshire

I think the rot set in when they became an off shoot of Manchester met uni. I went as a mature student so was in 1990. It was quite segregated between the sports students and the arty types. As I was doing sports course I counted as one of those, however as I was a dread locked hippy I like to think I transcended categorisation

I think we just drank lots of beer and behaved like muppets,
We were good at sport tho
