Got talking to this fella the other night who’s knows Maurice Lyndsey, and he told me a tale about a proposed publicity shot that the Orwell wanted to do to publicise their opening. The pub wanted a shot of Graham Barrow with the Freight Rover trophy and Graham West with the Challenge cup, both Grahams were happy to oblige however Maurice on hearing this saw his arse and said “that club is not basking in our glory” and so the shot never took place.
Watch some c**t find a picture of the event now!
If you want to meet that winning team, they’ll be at the DW next month

Never heard that, but I believe that the paper wanted a joint team photo of our Freight Rover Winning team, and the Wigan RL Challenge Cup team.
Doris vetoed it.
You know something? A lot of people will have thought “Oh, let it go now. All that happened years ago”.
But when I think about his comments more and more, in that infamous interview, I mean the “They probably took ten, maybe fifteen thousand. (to Wembley for the Freight Rover Match) But when WE went we took FORTY thousand people. It’s a tradition, it’s a day out. And yes, we’d love to go again”.
Note the emphasis on “We”. He considered us sh*t on his shoe, and make no mistake.
Now he is sticking a finger in our pie. It’s on a par with a Nazi war-criminal fugitive now announcing that Judaism is good, and that all that happened “Is in the past, now”. Well, ok, not quite. But you see what I mean.
I for one, hope the Rugby keep winning. Perhaps he’ll go slithering back over to his ‘true love’, if he considers them ‘a winning team’?
