Greetings from sunny Newtownards
Hi folks,
I've been registered for a while and have been enjoying reading most of the posts - some good banter in there!
Thought I would just say hello as my girlfriend has arranged for us to go over to the West Ham match on 9th April as a birthday present. I don't know what she wants in return but it will probably be bloody expensive!
Looking forward to getting over to the Reebok - any advice re pubs would be great as the last time I stayed in Bolton was when Northern Ireland were playing England a few years back and I can't really see a return trip to Ikon being a goer - if it's still in existence!!

Welcome Ards. No doubt the licensed premises update will be along shortly!
God's country! God's county!
God's town! God's team!!
How can we fail?
COME ON YOU WHITES!!

Welcome!
I'd probably say Scotts, smack bang next to the ground and next to the train station.

Cheers Gary, aye the countryside isn't bad - Newtownards isn't the George Best though.
Tesco is still no nearer completion, just fencing across the road from the ruins of Ards FC's ground
I wouldn't worry though, the townsfolk can still get their hands on theier Buckfast!!!

Ah, beautiful, beautiful Ards. Absolutely love the place. Used to deal with a company near Ards ground and looked forward to every trip. The guy I used to deal with supported City, though!
May the bridges I burn light your way

Re: Greetings from sunny Newtownards
Yea, although most people round this way are glory hunters there are a fair few City, Leeds and Spurs fans knocking about. There's one other Bolton fan in Ards I know of - I say know of because it's all hearsay, I've never actually met the fella!Bruce Rioja wrote:Ah, beautiful, beautiful Ards. Absolutely love the place.

Ards ground is no more - dodgy board sold ground and we are now playing our home games 40 odd miles away in Ballyclare. Real shame for a team that entertained Roma, PSV, Standard Liege and Riems back in the day!!

Alright Ards Trotter - i'm in Newry for the last 10 years - not too far away. Are you planning on going to Wembley? I've got my flights booked - just a little anxious about tickets for me and my two lads!
