This was prompted some time ago by the mighty Southstand.
On our snowy train journey back to Liverpool from the Massive Meet-up in Mancunia, I asked him if he had much of The Fall, his reply was priceless - 'Oh yes, yards of it.'
There you have it - Yards of the Fall it's much like a Wall of Floyd.
