"Various groups and genres of music fans used to get in there," Mr Johnson told BBC Radio Stoke.Mr Leigh, who himself used to be a DJ at The Void, said the city seemed to be "at the cutting edge of whatever music scene was evolving or going on at the time".

Some only lasted a few years, which made their rise to prominence all the more remarkable, he said.Mr Johnson said they currently had put blue plaques up at five venues:Millions of shoppers could get up to £70 each after a tribunal approved a settlement in a lawsuit against Mastercard which stemmed from historic fees levied on businesses by the card provider.

The decision comes after a long-running legal case going back almost a decade, brought forward by a former financial ombudsman.Walter Merricks argued that shoppers were charged higher prices after fees were wrongly levied on transactions made over a 15-year period between 1992 and 2008.

It is not necessary to have owned a Mastercard at any point to be eligible for compensation. Mastercard declined to comment on the court ruling.

Consumers are eligible to claim compensation if they lived in England, Wales or Northern Ireland for at least three months between June 1997 and June 2008, and bought goods or services from UK businesses that accepted Mastercard credit cards.But he knows, as does everyone else, that clubs of United's size cannot lose consistently without consequence. A tally of six league wins in 26 games is simply not good enough.

There is no league with the strength in depth of the Premier League, underlined by what has happened to United this season.However, if Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich or any of the big Italian clubs had a comparable campaign, it is pretty certain that, not only would the guy who started the season get axed, in all probability, the person who followed him would as well.

Amorim seems safe from that fate. But unsubstantiated rumours hang around of players not being happy with his methods. A couple of thoughtful trophy-winning former United players wonder how effective it can be having a coaching staff that, in some cases, is both younger and less experienced than the players they are attempting to work with.Having the support of the ownership is one thing. The reality is Amorim must start winning quickly next season. The vultures are circling now. It will not take much for them to go for their prey.
