Traf Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Ok, Rocket, Flying Shuttle...anywhere else? The Shuttle is currently closed and undergoing major building work. You could, however take a trip over the motorway bridge into the Salford overspill of Little Hulton, where they have several lovely taverns, such as the Spa, Cyn's and the Raven.

dave2980 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Bl1 6 Heaton/part halliwell Bl1 7 smithills I don't think you can rely on the postcode. BL1 6 is also Astley Bridge, as is BL1 7 (and it covers Sharples too) BL1 3 is also in haliwell and I suspect there's loads more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Turton entered the FA Cup in 1879-80, losing to Nott'm Forest in the second round. The next season Astley Bridge entered, beating Eagley then losing to Turton, who lost in the third round to (Sheffield) Wednesday. Bolton Wanderers first entered in 1881-82, beating Eagley then losing to Blackburn Rovers. Turton lost to Darwen in the third round. The next seaon Wanderers reached the third round, the following season the fourth round. In the first league season Wanderers went out in the third qualifying round to Linfield Athletic, whereas Halliwell reached the second round proper, losing to Birmingham St Georges. The previous season Wanderers lost to the eventual winners (PNE) in the second round (9-1), whereas Halliwell lost to PNE in the fourth round (4-0). The original Turton pitch in Chapeltown is still played on by Old Boltonians ( Turton FC now play in Edgworth ) & is supposed to be the oldest pitch in the world. Preston, Sheff Wednesday, Notts Forest, Everton, all played FA Cup games there, & on the plaque (bottom right on the link if it works ) it says that there were always big crowds for derby games against Darwen & some of the games were abandoned because of violence between rival supporters. http://www.oldbolts.co.uk/ContactUs/Location/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I remember reading somewhere that Halliwell turned down the chance rather than were turned down. Think they played at Holy Harbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 BL1 3 covers Halliwell but it's not a postcode thing. It's an attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plums Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The mean streets of BL5 eh.. The Heaton favela Hard life.. BL6 is also the people's republic of horwich.. As for Halliwell, the last bastion of a boozer now has a dance floor and regular karaoke nights.. I can see some of you salivating at the thought of that..
