Red Cow, proper pub, no meals in there, unless you like pork scratchings. Floor perfectly made for being puked on. Saw dust on hand for when you do.

Finished 3-1. Neil Woods sent from the dugout for constantly gobbing off at the referee!
He's just sore because he didn't get to go to Trinidad & Tobago! :mrgreen:

You follow low league football, what kind of state are Pelsall Villa in these days? Don't really follow them any more. Used to go when I was a kid though, on the railway bank for the first half, then in for free for the second :lol:
I remember going to a game in the 90s sometime when they won the league (whichever it was they were playing in) had a pretty useful striker who's name escapes me now. Think they have had a bit of a downturn since then though.
I also spent a lot of Saturday afternoon's watching the cricket team in the summer, mainly cos at the time it was the only place you could get a beer after 3pm :lol:

I think Pelsall Villa own the pub, so it makes it okay to have Villa in the name in my eyes.

I don't think they own Pelsall Cricket Club, willing to be proved wrong.
I assume the Villa is short for Village. I'd rather they just called themselves Pelsall Village to be honest !

Do they really? Crikey.
How long have they not got along, cos when I used to go they always did, they had their promotion party (sometime in the 90s) In the cricket club, cos I went. Was a good night.
The Bush pub was always the worst of the pubs and clubs in Pelsall, this can be confirmed as my Dad only went in there 3 times in 30 years of living in Pelsall, there had to be something severely wrong with a pub if they couldn't tempt him in there :lol:

It's better than Villa surely ?
Pelsall is a village is it not ? A fine one at that too, far superior class of people than Rushall for example :D

WAW. Think it happen around 2005, the owners of both sides had a major falling out. Think it was also something to do with one side not doing what was agreed.

Theyre still called Villa, which is still worse than Rushall playing in Wolves colours.

Pelsall have slumped into the doldrums in recent years but are now making strenuous efforts to pull themselves around. Chairman Sean Mason has taken over the Old Bush pub which now serves as the much-needed social base for the football club. Previously, they had to go cap-in-hand to the cricket club who didn't really want anything to do with them. Now the official entrance/exit to/from the football ground is direct from the pub car park.
You won't see much from the railway embankment now because the trees have grown (and the end is fenced off)! :D
I think that the player to whom you refer was Dean Walters.

Yes that is indeed the player I was thinking of.
Thanks for that, appreciate it.
Latvian, Pelsall will always be superior to Rushall in every way, it's just a different class of people my friend.

I don't really have anything against Rushall, just a bit of old rivalry. I have family in Rushall, and a lot of my Dad's friends used to live in Rushall. Used to go with him often to Rushall Labour Club, and the Miners Arms (RIP)
Seriously though, I went to Pelsall Saturday, took the kids to Pelsall Carnival, it hasn't changed much since I actually lived there, over 15 years ago now the last time I lived there. I thought to myself, I never realised what a fantastic place to grow up it really was. My Dad lived down by the Red Cow (Heath End as it was known) Spent most of my childhood playing football on the lovely Common, which is always kept so nice. I've lived in many places now, but it is still the nicest place I have ever lived, and really where I still think of as home.
Might start keeping an eye on Pelsall Villa, maybe go and catch a game or two if they are making an effort. I am happy to pay now by the way, was just a kid when I used to go on the railway :lol:
