Official West Hartlepool RFC

yet again i dont know how the westies dare slag off the headland given that rossmere, rift house and owton manor are only a stones throw from their ground. All of them area's are rife with smackheads and other undersirables. not everyone who plays at west lives behind the park and drinks in the white house or cricket club.
As for BBOB's facilities, a quality pitch (with a lot of history) and new changing rooms, what more could you want? although they havent got their own clubhouse, do they actually need it? they have no overheads from it and have been putting money over the bar at a local pub for years. Since i used to play for them, they've drank in the Sun Inn (now demolished), the kirkham (now closed down and turned into a house) the pot house and more recently the Cos. So, a friendly well run club supporting the local pubs. get off your high horses westies

:-D

I hope the cos survives,its a nice pint in there.At least the pot reopened after closing for a while :-D

RT ... Calm down dear, it's only a bit of fun!

We all appreciate the history of the (Old) Friarage etc. and the good pubs of the Headland.
Still have fond memories of a lock in at the Middlesbrough, having a sing-song with an old boy at the piano and of course getting totally monged!! :oD

was only seeing if i could get a bite but meant every word i said. The Cos is still going strong and now the pot house is back open so no complaints there. 2 of the best "proper" pubs i the town

The Goldmine is the best "proper" pub in the town

plus The Causeway and The Jacksons Arms
... does The New Inn still serve good Strongarm?
... was always the place to go for that!!!
... well that was a very long long time ago, when Karlos was slim!

new inn is still open although it did shut down a few years back, havent been in there for a long time

" ... putting money over the bar at a local pub for years. Since i used to play for them, they've drank in the Sun Inn (now demolished), the kirkham (now closed down and turned into a house) ..."
They can't have put much money over the bars then, can they? How long before the Pot House, New Inn and the Cos close? Two of them already have for a spell.
If codheads bought their round, their pubs might do better.

Not that I want to correct anyone....but BBOB have never used the New Inn as a club house/HQ....they have used the Sun Inn though.

Also, pubs didnt close due to lack of money etc....Kirkham was sold for mass profit and turned into a house, Sun Inn demolished after the police shut it down due to security issues. Cant remember the Pot House situation but when I was playing at BBOB or reffing the pub was always heaving with plenty of beer being paid for.

They have plasma on draught on the Pot House don't they?

Ref ... Why correct anyone?
No one said BBOB used The New Inn as a clubhouse/HQ!
So a Ref that needs glasses ... class! :oD

dog track, the pot house didnt close through lack of customers, more to do with the landord, who incidently was the last landlord of the kirkham before turning it into a house

In that case RT, send him over here to West to shut a few of our rubbish boozers.

lke the goldmine :oD

... and bring ya own pooper scooper!

Hi

I was just wondering if any ladies would be interested in forming a team called The Knockers.

Need a ground tp play on and a pub to base ourselves in - any thoughts

Could use the Goldmine...... Dunno how many ladies go in there though? :oD:oD:oD:oD:oD%-)%-)%-)
