Re: Wetherspoons

Went into the Commercial for a post-match pint yesterday. Somewhat disappointed to discover that "Who Are They?" was off but worse was to come. Had a close-up shufty at the Stanley display for the first time - a nice atmospheric picture of a 1959 match at Peel Park accompanied by a potted history of the club. All OK until I came to the last sentence which read roughly along these lines - the town is best known for its football club more than 30 years after its inglorious departure from the league...and that was it! Nothing about its glorious revival and rise up the leagues and its even more glorious return to the football league. You'd think the town had no football club reading that.

I'm with Tealeaf - I'm going nowhere near the Commercial while this appalling distortion of history is allowed to remain on public display. It's back to the Broadway for me!
