bolton va va Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Dunscar Conny club does well covering the B/X area. The Roundhouse pub in Halliwell used to be the Halliwell Central Reform Club & ran coaches to Wanderers' away games in the late 70's.

Escobarp Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Little lever still has a conny club which is alright to be fair. Labour club is now hardy hall and I think I went in once when it was the Labour club for a party of some description round here we’ve a Labour club and a legion but no conny club. Legion is ok but haven’t been and no intention of going in the Labour club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusan nikolic Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I remember going to the Conny club in Adlington when we came up visiting relatives , my Dad and uncle were meant to take me to Port Vale at Burnden in 1986 , but got involved in a card school , so they fobbed me off with a total stranger who my uncle knew . This chap had only nipped in for a pint before the game and got lumbered with me , but he was sound and explained all the songs for me , oh and we won 3-0.

I used to call in on my way home from the night matches last season and intended making myself a member but thanks to Krooked Ken destroying the season never got round to it. I'll call in on Monday night. They have a good social side and run some cheap day trips. Me and Mrs. Fogarty have been on a few and always come home bladdered.

A neighbour needed a spare player, and upon hearing I played, I was conscripted. Weird, never been in before nor since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
