The Wap used to run a regular coach to the away games in the 70s. Only went on one to Wolves in the league cup game 1976. 2-1 win with Roger Wylde getting the last minute winner. Not bad considering they were in the old 1st division and us in the 3rd. The main success of that non eventful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gents toilets in the Nelson used to have an amazingly funny graffiti saga. It was started by the words "Grim Reaper" (a popular rock band of the day). Some wag added, "Is this a sad farmer?", then every time you went in someone had added a line to it. I don't suppose anyone on here remembers it or any of the lines added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallzi Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Pigs like to think they "own" every pub in town by default, but other than Penny Black and Fanny's everywhere is pretty much a mix. Yates' has both our Sanderson and their Laver kits painted on the wall, and there's a silhouette of the North Stand on the wall in the Beehive on West Street.

Just before that it was Saturday afternoons in the Minerva and the Stone House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened, get over it and stop belittling people sharing memories of pubs and places long gone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
