You Sir are a fountain of knowledge regarding the back street watering holes of your fine proud town. I doff my cap.

 

 You might not want to go shouting your tale from the rooftops CP - think The Stage Door has a similar reputation to The New Penny in Leeds.

Just don’t bother arbito. He’s always right until he’s proven wrong.

..... and he's still right in Chaddyworld.  Think you forgot that last part.

Who was the British sprinter who was on trial at Wigan (I think) years ago?

Don't know about the Wigan link, but Darren Campbell played for Stalybridge Celtic for a while.  Without great success I think.

 I envisage our lowest ever away support at Leeds on Boxing Day at £40 for an adult ticket.

40 quid?  Bloody hell, I'm only a bus ride out of Leeds (if there were buses on Boxing Day....) but they can forget it at that price.

In the news for sadder reasons ATM, but didn’t Lenny Johnrose take a drop down the leagues to Burnley??

He did indeed, for a few other clubs as well I think.  Another who didn't move directly between us and them though.

Ruined In A Day?

On the Blackburn connection, I think I remember seeing on a New Order DVD a few years ago, a chat with Barney where he was asked about the Blackburn link.  I don't think he knew why but said it was a 'thing' and his only explanation was they'd done a few gigs at KGH that were especially rowdy and it was probably via those (Mill Hill yoof perhaps).  If I find the DVD sometime I'll take notes and post here.

Speaking of which.... what's happened to Suhail/Pasha recently?  Haven't heard anything for months, which is no doubt a good sign, maybe someone gave him a good t**tting a bit like this

and he's out of the game a few hundred metres under Brockhall.  We can but dream.

Gone right over my head, but what's the 'V factor' that Stuart referred to (ref Dack)?  I'd have thought the Olivia factor might come into play..... maybe that's the same thing?
