It's a great set-up with really friendly guys volunteering. Good to contribute with entrance, programmes, pies, raffle tickets & beer. Managed to put a name to Athy White who turned out to have big love-in with my mate. 😘 They played for Laburnum together about 40+ years ago so good memories for them both. Also managed to get the future father in law pissed & we had to stop on the motorway back to Preston so that he didn't wet his pants! Nice little mid week outing... It was good to meet you Ste, tell Howard I'm really sorry I didn't recognise him, Quote

He’s that addled, he won’t even remember the other night!😁 Yep, we both said we’ll come again when it doesn’t clash with the Wanderers. 👍 Quote
athywhite1958 Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Colls are playing the Saudi outfit Al-ittihad next Wednesday 7.00pm KO at the Skuna, should be interesting. A good game last night V Altrincham ended 2-2 Quote
L/H White Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 gave a good account of themselves last night the colls, very good side alty Quote

Just a note on this, if you intend coming, you are most welcome, if you plan on having a drink in the bar that is fine, but, as per FA and FIFA rules alcohol is not allowed outside of the clubhouse as this is classed under their jurisdiction, in effect it is an international match, come down and get a football fix Quote
Carlos Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Also, St Helens Rd is closed, Four Lane Ends is screwed, avoid! Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Atherton Collieries 2 Al-Ittihad 0. Madness. Wish I’d lumped on at 14/1! Quote
athywhite1958 Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Good game at Colls last night despite the attrocious summer weather, we got stuffed 4-2, could so easily have been different, we hit the bar and post but generally couldn't finish. Warrington are 2nd favourites for the league and are a good side so we weren't disgraced, good to see a few Wanderers fans there having a break from the goings on at the Unibol. Onwards and upwards, FA cup action V Runcorn Linnets at The Skuna on Saturday. Quote
bolton va va Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 My 1st visit to Colls last night & it was an entertaining game. I thought Warrington were quite good & deserved the win but Colls made a good game of it. If BWFC folded, I'd probably go to the odd Colls game as the closest to Bolton team at a reasonable level ( ahead of the likes of Chorley ) , but even though it's a really good set up, it could never be a substitute for the Wanderers for me.

Carlos Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Warrington should be in the Conf North after winning the play-offs last season. Quote

Leyther_Matt Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 Caught in the headlights a bit in the first half but Warrington will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season so the second half was pretty encouraging. Would still have preferred to have been watching Bolton last night but I've reached the stage where it will be a relief to still have the problem of fixture clashes in the future. Quote

Radcliffes nearer to you, surely And even though it's Bury, at least it's not some Wigan/Manc thing Quote

Talking with my mate last night, I realised that i've never ever been to Tyldsley or Astley. I see there's a match bus goes there, so does anyone know if there's anything there pub wise, & can you get back to town ? Quote

Tyldesley has plenty of pubs but you can pretty much only get a bus to Leigh or Manchester. Atherton is a damn fine boozing town these days though. Quote
L/H White Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I live in Astley, not much going on really, Bulls Head on Manchester Road is alright Top Road in Tyldlsey is getting there now, plenty new places opening The Hop N Hazlewood is a cracking craft ale place Quote
DLH Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Going to my first ever non-league game today... incidentally going to be the boys first game, testing the water to see if he can be kept entertained by 90 mins of football before I get him to the wanderers... St Neots Town v North Leigh... up the Saints Quote
