Also, has anyone else been here yet?
It's my local, they've not really changed it apart from some wanderers stuff on the wall. Still have the live music at weekends. McGinlay's eldest son seems to be in charge, looks like him and also called John.

Does it regularly attract Bolton fans before games? I'm thinking of popping in on a regular basis before home games. It's a long haul from where I live like (farnworth).

The one in glasses has a look of Mike Whitlow. Not sure though.
That's what I thought too.

Which one are people saying is Gavin McCann?

I remember when Rodney Jack ran rings around him against Crewe at the Reebok. He looked old and on his way out back then. Surprised he doesn't look much older now.

There were a few in on Saturday. I was in there around 12.30pm with LE. They put on a free minibus to the ground, which does a couple of runs. SJM won't be there as he does his show on Tower at 1pm iirc. Not sure i'd make the trek from Farnworth tbh.

He's trying to keep it to himself Jugs. Don't stand for it.

No idea why, but reading that and Juilan Dicks name just popped into my head.

Ha, I won't.

Me and my mate usually walk up chorley road from Bolton t/centre, stopping off at the lion of vienna, and having a beer during the walk. So walking a bit further into Horwich isn't a problem. Gonna check out The Alehouse too.

Aye, we get the bus home. But grabbing the bus there is pretty boring, and walking to the game makes a day of it, gets you in the mood much more than a turgid bus through little hulton with certain disagreeable cretins. Kinda feels like an away game when you walk it. Plus you can drink beer too :D

That's Dan-like extremes of walking.

Anyway, do we have a definitive line-up yet?

Doesn't seem so yet. Various hints, like Lonergan set to keep his place and Lennony bigging up Germaine Beckford, but he's doing that with Craig Davies and Joe Mason too.
