While Leighonardo's early curfew may mean he has to choose one or the other, personally I'll be aiming to factor in both, along with the Wetherspoons. Got to make use of our very own ale trail in Leigh, now we have one....

Used to drink in this pub many years ago, will try it again before Sheffield match. A good friend of mine who posts on this board once bought me a pint in there and being generous paid with 2 half crowns (25p), giving about 1 shilling (5p) change. Showing kindness he said " Mary would you like a drink" the reply was thanks very much Frank I'll have a double gin and tonic so thats 9 shillings and six pence (48p). Last time he bought a drink - his face was a picture!

Was thinking about that myself John when this thread was started.

Im nipping in their tonight ive tried all of the ale apart from perry cider
purple one is good
yes think they will have sky was told 3 tvs being put in
frank b not seen you since toulouse

Good effort that !!

I do I shall try to get there by 6-30pm but will only have a half as I am in training for the weekend.

Yeah Right

A half of what though?

The bottom half's of at least 4 pints after drinking the top half's to get to them

C'mon I have agreed to get the first round in which accounts for my response in my original post. When one is playing in a competative match later that evening one has to keep a clear head.

I shall set an example to the players. (as usual ).

Maybe though I will have a pint on the second round.

well i knew allgates had purchased it, but did not realise it was now open, this is really excellent news for us real ale fans, will defo be going in to give my support,

I hope the new Wheatsheaf is run properly and all the scrotes are kept out. I'll pop in for one when it opens for a gander.

Went there regularly (Mary's) and the week before we won the cup at Wembley with half the Leigh team!!!!!!!!!!! Must have been summat good in the ale, though I seem to remeber it being a Walker's House then.

Ive never seen Frank B in the Wheatsheaf always liked the place when Podgie had it .
