Who nominated The Albany? (e-mail sausage@bluekipper.com)

 

The Bluekipper boys marched victoriously on to The Albany gleeming after their 6 - 0 (yes, 6 - 0) narrow win against Toffeeweb. When a pub Manager and his team put on a spread like Michael and his crew did then we knew we were in for a very warm welcome, not that we needed it we were glowing after the morning result! Pity Everton's finishing wasn't as good against The Geordies!!

The Management
Michael Kinney, the true blue boss, you'll find his missus, Bridie, in kitchen (how did you manage that Michael? Was it a white wedding? All kitchen appliances come in white!!) Michael & Bridie have their own pub flag which stands proudly in the lounge> They are ably assisted by their daughter, the lovely Amanda (I told yer ya didn't need make-up & lippy for the photo) and Amanda's 2 daughters Paige (7) & Olivia (2).
Atmosphere ***
The pub is split into Bar & Lounge, the lounge was heaving with blue boys, the wall is proudly draped with the pub's Everton flag it also has the names of the manager & his missus - true blues. Not much more room in the bar either, so the place had a good atmosphere even if it was a bit quiet.
Ale ***
Bass House, so all the usual. Plenty of cold bottles WKD and the like, Cider for the juice heads amongst us but no Stella! Sting Ray more than happy with the range of snifters and unlike in The Albert, Kipper was able to return to Manns Mixed. Plenty on offer.
Music, TV & Radio ***
Big screen showing Man U v Leeds on SKY also other TV's in lounge and bar. Jukey playing sounds audible after the game. Pool in the bar, Lard showed us how to play when pissed after the game - badly!
Locals****
The Hannah Family, Rob the Sponsor, Brother Michael - the Prankster, Jukebox Joyce and Annie the Barprop. Not forgetting Tom Eastoe the hungry hippo!
Special Features**

Bars on bog windows, stops you escaping without payin'
Special Needs collection during Man U game
New ceilings after Paige left the plug in the shower, some excuse for water in yer ale!
They put on a terrific buffet, best spread in Walton!!

 

PS Don't forget, I need to know who nominated this before Kipper finds out I've lost the nomination and kick's my arse, it's already bruised because of the delay in getting this report on - apologies to all those concerned!!
