Boo!

Bring back the the old Bell..dodgey Hells angels,Acid and crazy yellow Speed.
And the mad Froggie!


 Claude was a bit of a character.....anyone remember the stairs, well when he wanted to do some changes in the buildings structure including ripping out the stairs, he armed a motley crew of regulars with hammers and picks, at closing time and we set to,  ripping out walls and the stairs in return for a payment of more beer.

 I've been expecting to see the place fall down, but it just about seems to still be standing.

  Another source of fame was the carpet, to which you would stick if standing for too long in the same place.
I did a bit of work for him (sub-contract from another company) and the first time I walked in there he was in the kitchen preparing food.  The dog was laying out under his feet waiting for the scraps, he was smoking as he had his hand up a chicken, all the windows were open and the flies were coming in and a bird was flying around the kitchen as well.  Just after that the Adver did a piece on his food and restaurant and really rated it!!  If only they knew!!  I remember introducing myself as the drain inspector (which I wasn't) and he went white, after that we had a good laugh as he carried on preparing the food and having a bit of a lunchtime drink together!  I never filled the paperwork out, he didn't get an invoice but I never took up the offer of a free meal for two!

Will it be £1 a pint for when we go in there after Footy on Sunday afternoons?

Oh and will we be playing our home games at Mannington? this would be ace as it's literally a 3 minute walk from my house.
