Title: Memorable Incidents Post by: kerry red on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 11:54:28 Remember back in the day in the CGH when it was still a bar and separate lounge.
Almost certain it was Burnley fans in the lounge just getting the wrong side of boisterous when landlord Ricky Porter appeared wielding a baseball bat and scattered them all over the place. Fucking hilarious - and it did quieten them down a bit as well. Good old days Title: Re: Memorable Incidents Post by: Minnesota Fats on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 12:32:55 Bit before my time, but wasn't Ricky a local boxer or something? I doubt he'd have needed a baseball bat to make his point!
Title: Re: Memorable Incidents Post by: kerry red on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 12:36:27 He was a boxer alright = should have doubled up with Pete Neale, no problems at closing time there!
Title: Re: Memorable Incidents Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 13:27:01 Ricky still lives in County Road, runs a b&b, I think. Although I did hear he had a serious health scare last year, hope he's ok!
Title: Re: Memorable Incidents Post by: DV on Saturday, July 7, 2012, 13:28:32 He does still run n a b&b - I know very little about the health scare but it did happen.
He's fighting fit and always in the gym now-a-days. I dont really know him, but when he's about you can always hear him!!!

The police arrived to find the defendant in a distressed state and two of his teeth embedded in the landing carpet :D Think Ricky was at home when the thieves paid a visit. |
