Chirck by Oswestry worth the drive out I went a long a long time ago starts at Easter its massive get there for 7 am! Every Sunday not been for ages health reasons, the guy wanted a tenner as it was in very good condition no writing in it etc!
One on eBay now of that semi final starting at 9.99 stained and foxing on it - Chirk is the biggest car boot I have ever been to takes four hours to get around - get there early , and pick a nice day ever Sunday good luck - I've seen cement mixer sold there flat screen TVs you name it it's there - programmes appear every now , and then!
I used to pick up some great EFC memorabilia but e bay has ruined boots now, but that's the best and biggest car boot you will ever see!

Thanks Joey, a bit far for me. Hope you are okay, nothing too serious.

Not too good at the moment after a big operation tumour on my kidney, it's a straight run to Chirk M56 and a dual carriageway all the way turn off at the Macdonalds roundabout free parking if you get there 7ish great parking it's an old airfield over 500 stalls sometimes! Used to be anyway still going!
I miss going used to go about once per month, Toilets used to be appalling thousands go there, it's a free for all! Used to be full of bargains as I stated eBay may have had its effect as it has on most car boots - as sellers just put it on line now!
About a 55 minute run from Liverpool.

chats now and again, very best of luck and good wishes.

...didn't vote in the other one but based on performances and service to us there's only one winner - T G Jones.

These comparison threads are a great idea.

Although perhaps difficult to compare a player most of us have seen play with one relatively few, if any of us have seen play, I'm going with Jones on the basis that he didn't get sent off all the while, and if he had have done he wouldn't have cried like Matterazzi did. Theres a funny quote from Dave Watson about that, I'm sure someone can dig it out.

Matterazzi was a good player though, no question. Could do with his snide now.

I got the impression at the time that Materazzi was crying because of the impact it was having on Everton. It was a long time ago but I remember feeling sorry for him.

Does anyone remember why he was sent off? I forget.
