Is it all kicking off Nige?

Not yet a lot of chanting the pub is packed and they are all over the car parrk Police arriving all the time. Cannot understand it because we are a couple of miles out of the centre so it must be a tactic to have groups all over the town as it is apparantly kicking off in the centre. Anyway im off to football soon so I will probably miss most of it

there's live footage on the Bolton News web site live feed of the town centre gatherings.

We've just had our gig at The Ainsworth Arms cancelled , Landlady (Carol) was telling us the Police have advised pubs to stay shut in the outlaying districts, due to town centre pubs being shut till it all blows over. Guess I'll have to watch ant and dec. B*&ll$cks.

It's bloody outrageous that Bolton council gave up the town hall square - on a Saturday - for what could only be a mass punch up, causing just about every business / pub to close. What were they thinking?

Shops were boarding up their windows on the Friday.

@ Chester
Don't like to say this, but Ainsworth was open when we drove past @ 7pm :o)
Incidentally from what I saw of the event on the live feed, it was the UAF bunch causing all the trouble, they should have just put the whole lot in Queens Park, sealed the entrances and said get on with it LOL
