Well we haven't had one of these in a very long time, so it's about time the good old OBPU was resurrected.
We've provisionally booked the Gardeners for Saturday April 14th 28th after the Everton Arsenal game but obviously if we beat Liverpool, then the date will be rearranged, as the 14th is semi-final day.
We did consider doing it sooner but both the Man City and Wolves games are now late kick-offs and it would have meant the proceedings wouldn't have got going until at least 10ish.
After considered consultation with the authorities, it has been decided that rimmers will be given the small bar and the wankstains will be housed in the (much larger) main room ... ;D
Anybody who's interested, please feel free to add your mark below and we can get a good idea on numbers.
Cheers

Everton may also be involved in the FA Cup semi-final that weekend if they beat Sunderland next week.

Yep if either of us make it to the semi-finals, then it'll have to move to the 28th (against Arsenal) by default, as that's the last Saturday home match of the season.

Never been to one of these numbers before. But would love to argue my points face to face after a few pints so might amaze myself and tag a long. And Spence my old mucker; I've just moved into your neck of the woods so perhaps you would like to show me round and put our differences aside over a few pints

Just checked my shift schedule and I'm on nights that weekend So it will hopefully be postponed until the 28th, I can make that one. Went to a few at O'Learys, always a good crack. Game of poker afterwards if it is on the 28th?

My brother and I went in the Gardeners retreat last Saturday after being banned by that large barmaind with the coloured hair that works in the larger back room a couple of seasons ago.
(WE DARED TO QUESTION HERE FAVOURITSM AS REGARDS WHO GOT SERVED NEXT- SHE DEFINITELY FAVOURED HER MATES OVER THOSE WHO HAD PATIENTLY QUEUED UP)
This time We went in the smaller front bar with the telly
We found it was crowded but very friendly and with decent ale and company AND food (including oatcakes with bacon and cheese)
WE will definitely return
(only thing was the Gardners did not have that amazing dark mild, it used to serve when last we visited (Mansfield ales - dark mild)

It was originally IBPU which stood for Inter-Board Piss Up. It was us and Vale fans who used either board (in the days when we were all quite friendly with each other and there was banter across both boards). The first was about 1997. In time, it seemed to become Stoke only, hence OBPU or Oatcake Board Piss Up.

Just a thought tentative discussions have been made for a Stoke Ramblers v Oatcake Occasionals match on 28th April before the Arsenal game, maybe you want to tag it onto that to make it like it used to be OO's game, Stoke game, OBPU
