You mean the Rose And Crown

Three Arrows is Bury/Bolton Rd, and hasn't been the Arrows for years

Anyway, Ainsworths gone to the dogs

Wigan edges out Bolton by a few hundred yards. However I was born on Plodder Lane and being brought up in Leigh means a lifetime of hatred for all things Wigan.

Go here, type in the postcode of your first home and you can find the nearest footy ground.

Mine's Bolton btw but my current address is nearer to both Blackburn and Bury :oops:

Go here if you don't know the postcode of your first address.

I was born in my parents' house on the Lostock/Horwich border - perhaps less than a mile from the Reebok. I'm fairly sure Burnden would have been the closest at the time but I can't check. We didn't have postal codes back then. :oops:
