Coops Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) it's not just about someone jumping in chris.... it's about history and geography!!! a president was once set when Wigan came to Cleethorpes, slightly different circumstances but stiil geographically un-sound it's a hundred and sixty one miles over hill and dale from Wigan, and (although this may surprise some people) it closed over thirty years ago! just saying Edited October 13, 2012 by coops 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Barry Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I must say a Wigan Casino Annie would be better for me if you could reminisce around it's town centre, go for a pint where you used to (not that I did - last bus up), get the train etc 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I know what you mean. I suppose the bus station and cinema have gone, the roads in and out have completely changed and they have whacked up the big arcade but there is still enough to ring a few bells wi me. I still get that feeling when I go. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
