Either sign him or get rid of him before he does too much damage - Warrington coach Alex Murphy on Mike Nicholas after Mike had turned up for a trial: |

icons077e_files/5445-3661prettyflower-msnicons.jpg Parry Gordon's passes,Les Boyd's strong runs,Mike Gregory's workrate,Des Drummond's tries,Jonathan Davies' sheer genius...........oh,and Alan Rathbone's punches! All memories of the legendary venue which was Wilderspool stadium. Gone maybe,but never,ever forgotten.

| Never have liked pubs run by ray fisher,i've been in bank quay club and there's always an atmosphere in there if your not one of his "known" faces,everyone always seems to sit staring at you,almost like they are waiting for a chance to pick a fight or something. I would imagine that some,if not all of the bank quay mob will transfer to the rodney now he has it,and the rodney might quickly develop a similar atmosphere. A place best avoided on matchdays I think,and as already stated the beer in there always has been well below an acceptable standard and well above acceptable price.

I can't understand what the target market is. I was talking to someone who knows Ray, and he was under the impression that Ray didn't want it to be your usual match day pub. I think it serves food now, although I heard somebody got cold food, suggesting it's microwaved crap, which suggests it isn't a restaurant. I thought it was being turned into a sports bar, but I still can't fathom it. Either way, the place is only good for match days due to its poor location. Next to the stadium is good every other Sunday, but other than that, there aren't local houses, there isn't a bus stop outside there and it always seems 'too big', making atmosphere seem non-existent. Ray's invested a shed load into it so he has his hopes up, but he's had it a while now and I thought its lack of success under his ownership would have swayed him off investing loads into it, but I guess not.

When the Rodney first re-opened, it was heaving every Friday/Saturday and busy during the week. It changed hands a couple of times after that, the last guy in there effectively ran it into the ground, which was a crying shame.

Do you mean the last landlord or last owner? Ray's had it for a couple of years now, hasn't he?

I am going back to when it first re-opened about 15 years ago.
