This is true, I live in one of the villages en route and it's got ridiculous. It's a great day out and a lot of fun but it's now got to the stage that if I get the train to Manchester on a Saturday afternoon it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll see several groups of largered up lads spewing, wanging bottles of WKD on the tracks, pissing in the street and getting their shrivelled walnut cocks out.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Don't worry, Parliament will resume before you know it.

Anybody else done this?
He would love proper beer, bearing in mind he can't get it where he works!
Batley to Stalybridge is the route. Not much walking needed, and thus more supping time as you don't need to leave the platforms , at Dewsbury, Huddersfield (x2) and Stalybridge. Pubs at Batley, Slaithwaite, Marsden, Greenfield and Mossley only a cock stride away also

Funnily enough the group dragged a couple of their bosses along, and they kept asking them why couldn't they make more ale like this at work
From the state of many Salford fans last Good Friday, it was equally enjoyed. (I think I remember )
I have been planning a similar trip from Salford Central to Clitheroe (the train goes via Bolton) and it seems quite viable with a decision yet to be made for Blackburn.
We play at Wakefield on Sunday and so there's the visit to that gem: the King's Arms at Heath: walking distance to and from the ground.

Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
