Point of Order m'lud,
In all honesty it did close for 3 months in '06 whilst essential building maintainance was carried out, but moved down the road for that period, until it's triumphal return under Steve's guidance.
But, back to the topic, I think I'm right in thinking that most of these long established events are Monthly occurances, whereas Wigan and The Wheel were every WEEK
and
so 8 years of Wigan would be around 400 Saturday Nighters, plus the Friday Oldies do's
And I'm pretty sure The Wheel was open in one form or another every Day, which by my reckoning is gonna take some catching.
