Chorley council

[Rodders]

This situation is reminiscent of the villages on the Real Ale Trail who got sick of gangs of blokes pissing in their gardens every week for 3 months of the year - stag dos and alcopops were banned from the pubs on route. But no doubt it was the villagers that weren’t up for the bantz that was the problem.

The last thing Councils want to do is take money out of a town, but when there’s been a history of nobheads carrying on, theyve been faced with no other choice. Maybe it’s the nobheads that’s the problem?

I used to live in that area once. I remember my first visit to Chorley one weekday evening. I walked into a pub for a quiet drink and there was a girl on stage, a gradely lass by Lancashire standards, in a state of undress gyrating on stage with an albino python!

I never expected to see that! Quite rare you know, albino pythons.

all Bell ends are football fans.

[blade.i.am]

Does it even have any pubs?

It’s very different to the Real Ale Trail.

Albino python? Are you sure it wasn't a feather boa?

It's hardly anything new is it.

We were forcibly removed from Oxford over 20 years ago on the way to Reading. 3 quarter coach dropped us off about 12 and we went in a quaint pub near the Uni and behaved ourselves sat quietly. 20 minutes later we were escorted out of the city by plod because 'we don't want you here'.

Different to being moved on for causing a scene. I'm sure what they did was illegal but would have got away by saying it was some section whatever dispersal order.

Whether we like it or not, a minority of football fans have been occasionally spoiling it for the majority for decades.

Another place to visit dropped from the bucket list.

Must be posh University towns. In 1928 my father, and some other northern scum, were given the »heave-o « by Cambridge Constabulary from the town centre for piking at the nude students swimming in the river.

My father probably omitted the bit that he was pulling percy behind a tree when he had his collar felt

Does Percy still keep in touch?

Percy and my favver have been gone a long time, but I bet you can still find students skinny dipping in Cambridge

 

[cahill]

True story by the way, not sure about the Percy bit

 

[Sean Thornton]

It's Lancashire. It's going to be a complete shithole anyway.

 

[wizadry]

Been to Chorley on our way to many away games around that neck of the woods, never seen or heard of any bollocks, what a shock!

 

[Rodley]

Who knew Chorley was the place to go?!

I had the same once in Oxford. But I retorted by entering into a debate about the works of Jean Paul Sartre and the plod let me off!

Clearly no stairs for you to "trip and fall down"

I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Chorley, and I’ve never really had much inclination to visit the small Lancashire town either, and when I’ve been that side of the Pennines on Sheffield United duties, there are plenty of other places and things to see and do which has meant Chorley had been frequently overlooked but I’m thankful to Chorley Borough Council for notifiying that in the very unlikely event I wanted to visit Chorley, I will not be welcomed.

 

[Linz]

Reverse psychology innit.

1) Tell a load of bloody-minded football fans they can't come.

2) Indignant fans arrange trips to a shithole they would have otherwise avoided.

3) Profit.

 

[Kendal]

Chorley? Why would anyone go there? If people from Preston, Bolton and Burnley look down on a place, pretty much guaranteed is a right dump. A bit like Barnsley

 

[YES Blade]

Update: a solicitor has been contacted about it.

Not by myself I’ll add.

Chorley away anyone?

Really? Some people really do have too much time on their hands!

Am I missing something here? Why does anyone care? Is Chorley the only place in the North West with pubs?!? Just go somewhere else!

Not really the point is it? Yes there are other places, but what if that place then does it? And so on...

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Perhaps comments like these explain why football fans are being banned.

Sarcasm isn’t really your strong point is it?

 

[Deleted member 875]

It is a good job other councils weren’t so prissy in years gone by, then I wouldn’t had the exciting opportunity of getting drunk in places I’d never even heard of before like Shepshed, Ripley and Hebden Bridge.......

I live here and never visit Chorley Town Centre. It's a no mark shithole. They built a big new bus station a few years ago, so the residents could leave the god forsaken dump in numbers.

Few years ago a few of us had booked a weekend in Manchester for the Oldham game. Cup run meant it clashed with Hull semi. As we’d paid up everything and Wembley was on the Sunday we still went up for a lads weekend and on what would have been the Oldham Saturday did the Penine real ale rail trail.

There were actually posters saying no lager as well as no stag do’s etc. Some of the pubs and villages were brilliant. Some of the punters less so with an edge of violence brought on by West Yorkshire and Lancashire rivalries meeting in small villages around the middle of the day as the respective groups started to meet in the middle of the trail.

However, the real outrageous actual actions were from the Hens. I saw women squatting in doorways, discarded male blow up dolls, Lycra mini skirts that if not sprayed on were riding up high, a liberal leaving of chocolate ‘shaped items’ on pub tables, regular renditions of ‘Its raining men’ or ‘I will survive’, high heels wobbling under the weight of the owner or the cobbles beneath, suggestive comments that would make a trooper blush and more baps on display than in Cooplands.

It took me two years of trying (and the arrival of WIlder football) to be able to organise away day lads weekends without the lads suggesting we revisit the real ale trail again and stay in fecking Mirfield, Wakefield or Stalybridge...

That’s the spirit.

Percy and my favver have been gone a long time, but I bet you can still find students skinny dipping in Cambridge

You certainly could as recently as 1994 in my experience.
