They used to have a Spanish kitchen and knocked up some cracking food, but like you said, it changed hands and they stopped serving Spanish food. Only went once afterwards and it wasn't a patch on the previous standard.

It's been a few things recently. It was a taps restaurant and then it became more of a traditional place (Owned by the same people who own the Railway at Euxton). We used to go a lot and I never had a bad meal there. It closed due to lack of passing trade and now it's been taken over by a chain. Nothing against chains particularly, but this one is awful.
Like I said in my previous post. If you want a really good meal, get yourself to the Dicconson Arms.

Ah, that is the reincarnation I was referring to. Had an excellent meal there for Grego's birthday last year, bit gutted to hear it's changed again as that meal was really superb. I will chuck out our once-used loyalty card for it then!!

| Farmers Arms in Eccleston is a good meal, but its not cheap and not much room for big groups. The Farmers arms up the road is also a good meal (two miles between the two). The Owls at Standish is always a good meal, nothing flash but a good meal at a reasonable price and plenty of room for large groups. The Beaches is also good for groups and I have never had a bad meal in there. Can you tell what I like to do at weekends ?

Radio 5 Live reported that Martinez said in the match programme that the state of the pitch was caused by "rugby league commitments".
You would have thought the pitch would be in A1 condition with 11 loads of 5hit being on the pitch every other week sine August.

The Mulberry tree in Wrightington is very, very good.
If your do is midweek then they do a very cheap (12 quid a head) two or three course menu.
The best resturant/gastro pub i have been to in a long time.
A bit pricey on a weekend mind you

This rubbish is starting to get on my nerves, surley the club could sue for libel??
that would be a laugh, it would be like Kramer v Kramer, Lenagan against Whelan.
It might also kick of a Wiganese civil war?

| Off Topic so presume this is the place to put it:
Does anyone know if there is any way of getting rid of that stupid "bookmark" link at the bottom of every post. Its really annoying when it pops up when I scroll through the posts. Its easy enough toavoid it just when scrolling but I get it nearly everytime I go to the next page part at the bottom of a page.
Hass anyone else had this issue or is it just me making a fuss out of nothing, because its really annoying.
Cheers

I know what you mean, some people just have to much spare time on their hands. Plus it really makes you appreciate what sickos and weirdos are out there.
Sweet dreams tonight.

and how will that help? with more games to play and less money to spend on groundstaff and pitch relaying?

Because it doesn't really affect us anyway and will remove the current level of flack the club unfairly gets.
Still, that was before Latics came out and defended us.
