Is there nowt sacred?

We get the picture Tealeaf.....you don't like Wetherspoons......you believe that you are too good for them....they are too provincial for you.
So why keep on about it?
No-one is going to force you in there.........and at least there is one thing we can be sure of....if we do go in there....we won't be meeting you! Hallelujah.

In what way, Dave? Players present on the opening day or memorabilia on the walls?

Andy Proctor was part of the offical opening team and at least a couple of members of staff present although I had to text one of them and ask who dressed them

Ok, I won't ask who! Sounds like a reasonable place to have my postmatch pint, while I'm waiting for the X41.

Andy Procter cut the ribbon, along with the Mayor.

Yes, the thought of bumping into him in there might put some people right off the place.

What about the local stuff on display, Bernard? Anything Stanley related?

Right, I'll be checking it out myself in a few weeks time and if there's no Stanley pics, I'll be having a word!
