Because its in no man's land it every football fan you could think of. Lots of Mancs, the occasional woolyback and us clay heads as they liked to call us. I only tool a bird there trying to coax her back to The Chimney House and nice town , though didnt quite expect that. The Chimney House is in a sorry state now! Being used as a refugee Hotel!

Hope and Anchor on a Sunday night always lead to the Moorville Hall......very messy indeed. The Continental was mental on a Sunday night. An asylum of a place, pimps, prostitutes, and drag queens....not for the faint hearted. One of the benefits of being in the middle of nowhere the rozzers never came round. It often got even messier as we'd be starving and get down into Hanley into that Indian over the bus station. It seemed always open. Was it called Al Sheiks or something? The only place above Hanley Bus Station that I remember was The Penny Farthing! Now that's another story!

Wasn't the Indian above the bus station the Omar Khayam? Had my very first Indian there (Rogan Josh) and thought it was the most incredible food I'd ever tasted! Addicted ever since. That sounds right. Had a vindaloo in there once after Chicos. Nearly killed me. Al Sheikh’s was the Balti down Shelton. They had one either side of the bridge didn't they and bring your own beer. There was a terraced pub down the side of the one on the right hand side coming from Stoke. You could get a beer and they'd come and fetch you when they had a free table. Can't remember it's name now.

You'll probably remember Galahads in Sandbach. Galahads was in Warmingham and formerly known as Warmingham Grange! South Cheshire's version of The Queens, Basford ... If you get my drift? That's it. It was a bloody walk if you couldn't cadge a lift back that's for sure.

Or Pool? There was a time you couldn't get a certain Alan Hudson off the pool table. It went downhill fast after he took over.

What a shame. Was such a nice place. Was a real miserable old night porter. If you rang him at 4am for a packet of KP Discos or a Texan Bar he would hang up. Not that it was done to wind him up of course

Only skipped through this thread but Gio's in castle was a great establishment from circa 1990 through to 2000. I have fond memories of doing breakfast lunch and dinner in there on an all day bender before staggering up to Zanzibar to ensure i woke up the next day feeling like an absolute bag of shyte. Ah the glory days.

Wasn't there a pub called the Boozy Dog in either Hanley or Castle that would serve anyone? Remember going in as about a 17 year old and felt old. In castle

Yes...took a gal from Audley there once. Real 70s looking place. Another place would serve anyone. Good shout, forgot about that place. Looked like the pub from Shameless Didnt someone famous once run it aswell? Wasn't it a world level darts player local. I grew up in Talke Pits so knew it well, although never really used it, was more of a Queens Head and King William (now a house) drinker, early doors before heading down to castle or Hanley

Yeah got my head kicked in a few times doing that. I learnt my lesson eventually Not that i would want any ban on alcohol but it does amaze me how unregulated it actually is. 20 or 30 nicker in your local supermarket can buy you enough booze to kill yourself and others with. Yet someone having a smoke on a park bench having a giggle to himself is considered a criminal. Doesn't make much sense to me really.

To be fair i met a girl in Zanzibar post Ritzy and we went out for 10 years, even had a kid with her. We are not together anymore but he's a smashing kid so no complaints

That Kebab van outside Maxim's was brilliant. Totally pissed at 2am.. Singing doner doner doner kebab with plenty of chilli sauce. My shirt looked like I'd been involved in an RTA on the way home by next day.

Anyone remember The Stage Door? Used to have a few with a very young Gary Mellor in there after work. Bizarrely Wigan fans holed up in that pub in 2000 the last time we met in the FA cup when they didn’t go in to the stadium and battle ensued in the centre of Hanley after the match when word got round Anyway back on track Oh yeah brave Wigan turning up unannounced and picking people off in Hanley,
