Site Supporter desperado Posted May 23, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2023 Conflicted - Bank Balance, wife, waistline, the cricket club all say yes The rest of me, all those things put to one side can’t wait for that first game! Like others the natural transition for me is to replace footy with cricket. Saturdays at Heaton, watching my lad (when his hand heals!) play, Lancs and the Ashes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer is now geared up to going to every pub in Bolton I haven’t been to yet and become a 100%er.

My old favourite in years gone by was the General Havelock, which I presume no longer exists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 23, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2023 Did some work at Bolton plastics before going to Uni.

stevieb Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Glad this season is over. Last couple of months just seemed to be an endless stream of expensive days out and I've not done any aways, Wembley aside. Fucking dear do this having a family lark.

Little John was always a decent pint after the shift. Not been since- 30 odd years. My Aunt was the owner and landlady of the Little John from the early 70s to the mid 90s I would guess. Always very basic inside but she knew how to keep a decent pint. Did more business at lunchtimes and match days than in the evening I think, Darts teams aside. Before that she had the Rothwell St Tavern near Derby Street. Long gone (the Tavern and Aunt). Back on topic. I was ready for a rest last week, but I'm already bored of no football.
