Re: Peel Park
An ex-landlord of the Peel Park pub at the back of the ground was reputed to wash out his empty pale ale bottles and sraighten out the bottletops, these were saved for Stanley home games. The morning prior to a Stanley match the bottles were filled with draught bitter and the caps refitted. Thirsty spectators who fancied a cool refreshing pint of Thwaites were disappointed to be told "Sorry, bitter's off, we've got bottles though." Whether there's any truth in this I've no idea, but it was one of the legends surrounding a certain (now deceased) publican of this watering hole.
