Would be gutted if there was an open day on the 31st one day I couldn't get out of work. Would love a bit of the place. I know Cardiff city sold the lot by auction when their ground was knocked down.

The sad thing about the place is how untidy the place was given that it's still been in use for all those years. And what happened to a chunk of the seating. Seems the places has been broken into a few times looking at the scoreboard and Snookers side.

Shame it's going with a little bit of love and rebuilding it could have become the new base for Warrington town and other sporting teams in the town.

I don't think there was a Tetley pub near Wilderspool . The nearest pub to it is The Causeway which (like 80% of pubs in the town back then) was a Greenall's pub. It's about 200 metres down Wilderspool Causeway walking away from the town centre. The nearest pub in the opposite direction is the Royal Oak Branch which was also a Greenall's one. There was also a Greenall's opposite ROB which is now a furniture shop - possibly the Golden Lion.

Although there was Tetley brewery in the town - on the site of the HJ / Tesco - there were very few Tetley pubs - The Lord Rodney was one, and in the town centre the Old Lion (now Flares). Almost every other pub was. Greenall's one. #mostofallImissmygreenalls

Not great (handheld) like but the last try scored at Wilderspool if anyone's interested.

Looks way better than I had expected.

Keys were apparently handed over to the demo team at 9am this morning...

Thought there was going to be a goodbye event?!

If there is a good bye event on the 31st, that'll be a great way to start my birthday...sneak my last ever pint in the fletch. Magic.
