Desperation or inspired?

I saw some comments on social media at the weekend from Boro fans suggesting that Brittain is really doing well for them.

I’m not surprised, he’s a good player probably playing at his peak age wise. However I wouldn’t swap Alebiosu for him now.

Talking of pubs and pub runs, I would think there are a good number on here who will remember the 'Revidge run' starting at Bulls Head, Wilpshire, up Pleckgate Road, along Revidge Road and finishing at Woodlands (top of Preston New Road).  Of those 10 / 12 pubs, sadly I think there are only 3 / 4 still open.  A blurry blast it was!!! 

Apologies for taking the thread off topic - the last word on beer from me in this thread but hopefully people will find some of it interesting.

I always classed the Revidge run as starting at either the Knowles Arms at the bottom of Pleckgate Rd or the Hare and Hounds at Lammack Rd depending on which direction you were coming from.

(There's still the Wilpshire Hotel, Rising Sun and Brownhill Arms left in the Brownhill area. The Bulls Head has been a Co-op for many years which I refused to go in for ages on principle. The landlord of the Rising Sun is a keen Rovers fan, the outside of the building has been painted blue and white, there's a room with Rovers memorabilia and last season he was doing cheap  Japanese bottled beer if Ohashi scored and a disgusting blue cocktail of some sort called a "Cantwell". Not certain if he's still doing those)

After that it's a completely barren wasteland now pub wise.

Depending on how far you wanted to wander off a straight line, you had at one time The Knowles, The Royal Oak, The Sportsman's, Hole ith Wall, Hare and Hounds, Corporation, Dog Inn, Quarrymans, Gibraltar, (The Gib) Alexandra Hotel, (The Alex) Leamington, Fox and Grapes, West View and Woodlands.

The Knowles is now a fully fledged restaurant (Ego) and you can just get a drink in there but the bar area is a fairly joyless experience. The Royal Oak on Pleckgate Rd is I think open but up for let and the last two standing the Hare and Hounds and the Alex went in the last couple of months or so. Sue the landlady at the Alex died and Robbo the guy who had the Hare and Hounds sold to the Issa's which I was very upset about in both instances.

Hare and Hounds was still doing really well too considering the demographic change in Lammack.
