Smudge, If you ever did think about cashing in on those outrageous property prices in the the south then you would be very welcome to come and join us. I am sure that you would find yourself very much at home because there can't be many bigger fans than you out there.
The conventional wisdom at the time was that the greyer the environment, the more that Roxy appealed to the natives because their glitz and glamour offered an escape from the daily grind. While much of the West of Scotland was certainly pretty bleak in the early 70s, I don't buy this theory. If it was true then why isn't there a bigger bloc of Roxy fans in Wales?
