alibob Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I was on the last seat of the away fans next to theirs. They were throwing coins and almost foaming at the mouth when we were celebrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squads, mates, pubs, experiences that are long gone. The last time I went to Arkwrights it was bonfire night and people were just showing up to throw anything they could find on it, a bed went on at one point complete with mattress and duvet 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the days of going in places like the Greenwood, Toll Bar or the Vic in Horwich to see if they were showing us on a dodgy stream and the place being packed if they were. 2 of those places are gone now too.

No wonder people get caught in the Horwich bubble and never want to leave, it's got everything, or it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
