I don't think there was a Tetley pub near Wilderspool . The nearest pub to it is The Causeway which (like 80% of pubs in the town back then) was a Greenall's pub. It's about 200 metres down Wilderspool Causeway walking away from the town centre. The nearest pub in the opposite direction is the Royal Oak Branch which was also a Greenall's one. There was also a Greenall's opposite ROB which is now a furniture shop - possibly the Golden Lion.

Although there was Tetley brewery in the town - on the site of the HJ / Tesco - there were very few Tetley pubs - The Lord Rodney was one, and in the town centre the Old Lion (now Flares). Almost every other pub was. Greenall's one. #mostofallImissmygreenalls

Not great (handheld) like but the last try scored at Wilderspool if anyone's interested.

Looks way better than I had expected.

Keys were apparently handed over to the demo team at 9am this morning...

Thought there was going to be a goodbye event?!

If there is a good bye event on the 31st, that'll be a great way to start my birthday...sneak my last ever pint in the fletch. Magic.

I'm beginning to think it will just be a corporate meal at the HJ...

According to the Wolves Heritage section there will be a final "Farewell Wilderspool Event" but admittedly it doesnt say where. BUT how can they say goodbye properly without actually being there !!!

I believe it's meant to take the form of an open day at Wilderspool, activities on the pitch etc.

Twas what I heard as well.

Activities on the pitch? I would happily pay £25 for the opportunity to romp ball in hand Richard Henare style down the right ring in front of the Brian Bevan stand.

Not full-length of the pitch you understand, I'm a bit past that. Maybe from the 25 yard line. So, not like Richard Henare at all then, more like Barry Peters. With a bad leg.

Brian Carbert?

I think I recall some kind of announcement at the last game there, now you mention it.

...Or was that something I overheard in the crowd?...

Save your energy and do the Mike Peters "KICK IT"

Still no news re the Wilderspool farewell event on Saturday week?

I was speaking to the groundsman on Saturday night. Keys were handed over to the demolition men mid week and they have already began to smash up the changing room area. He was under the impression that there would be an opportunity at some point for people to walk round and dig up some turf etc but he didn't think there would be much left by then.

need some turf and what a better way to remember the old place by..all i need is the time and date and i`ll be there...can i have a piece of the scoreboard too????

Are you trying to provoke me, Sir? I refer you to page 1 of this thread where I quite clearly claim first dibs on ALL the scoreboard with the intent of converting it into a potting shed.

I have already cleared space in the back garden and printed tickets for the unveling so any more of this "can I have a piece of the scoreboard too?" caper will be dealt with by my solicitors.

And no, you can't have a ticket for the opening.

S.A.M missing out on the opportunity to reunite guest speakers Paul Cullen and Andy Goodway.

I hear Tony Barrows sheepskin coat from that era is up for raffle too!
