...looks like a right dive to me...proper biker place...ruff!

That was my pub back in the early 70's when I was a....ahem....biker.

Good beer then - Burtonwood dark mild.

The Travellers Rest at Euxton, run by a Rovers fan is well worth a visit.

Anyone tried this place yet?

Mrs Whittle Blue went a few weeks ago & said everthing was ok, no problems but she didn't go into raptures.

Anyway, all restaurants in Lancashire are crap according to Michael Winner.

I went to this one on the special train along with 6 pints of home brew.

I remember they sold beer in the ground too & you could go back to your seat with it.

Unusual to have seats behind the goals back then.

Also went to a night match in 1973 and stood on that East terrace. The thing I remember was it was huge. Everything seemed like it was twice normal size. Even the bogs were massive.That was in the old 3rd Division when we were really crap. We lost 4-3.

Got to say Red Pump was excellent , their venison raviolli starter was superb...Also a great pint of Black Sheep..higly recommended

Went last night. Thanks Berkshire.

Excellent food.

Lovely location.

Good staff

Restaurant food in an informal environment.

Red Pump at Bashall Eaves

Don't recall much of the game, and have no info on the scorer of Palaces winner

I have a feeling it was Alan Irvine

Anyone been to the Spead Eagle at Sawley?

Had lunch there last week which was nice, as was the place.

Apparently it was taken over about 12 months ago & refurbed.

I am fairly sure that the winning goal was nearly the last kick of the game and was a Howard Gayle penalty (not Col).

WRONG!

We heard that they are actually going to abandon that policy for weekdays, so they will be taking bookings for any size of party except at the weekend when it will still only be parties of 6+ who can book. I assume this will apply at the Clog and Billycock as well.

Correct. Went tut Clog last neet and were towd t'same.

Tables booked up but managed to get one because we were early and promised to sod off by 7.30

EDIT- By the way,the grub was excellent.

Enjoyed old fashioned sci-fi on last holiday.

The Time Machine - H G Wells

A Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

I am odd, however.

wheres hetton?

Yorks. Dales, North of Skipton

T' Clog must be the mboard favourite.

Called at Clog Monday teatime but too early for food.

Carried on to.....

Coach & Horses, Bolton-by-Bowland.

It's now finished being done up.

Only had a beer and a butty which was good. Restaurant and menu look very nice indeed.

Anyone been?

How does the Hi-life card actually work??

Is is just main meals that are 2 4 1 ?

Any help much appreciated.

click for Hi-Life

I had Hi-life about 6 years ago.

If it's still the same, there's varying types of offer depending on the restaurant.

Some of the good places excluded popular times e.g.Saturday evenings.

Also, many places only allow you one visit per annum but others didn't bother.

Thanks Tris

What's BOGOF?

Watch and enjoy - you'll have to find it yourself because I can't do the link things, sorry!

Enjoy here

Blackburn on the bus, the 124 from Chorley. I may be wrong, but I think Alexei Sayle mentions the 124 from Chorley to Blackburn in his book- 50 Worst Bus Journeys In The World,

The 124 is a nice route that takes you through exotic places like Abbey Village,Brinscall and Wheelton.

I used it after yesterdays game.

Trouble is, you have to bugger off at quarter to five to catch it. I wonder if Stagecoach could alter the times on Saturdays?

Sorry, I'll shut up.

Here's Kinsey's goal from the City game.

How far into HW is this? Past the shop/petrol station or is it on the outskirts? Working from memory here (very fallible!), is it the place near where the school was?

LHS going towards Chorley, 200yds past The Golden Lion.

Is the Perspecx shirt still available and if so what size and price is it.

Still awaiting Elwaxo

No label. My guess is Large (I was a lot slimmer in the 80s).

No price established yet, Lynne

is it still megabucks?

The menus & prices are on their website, Abbey.

It's not cheap but no worse than any other places that offer fine dining.
