I drank in the Wheatsheaf when Dave had Charlies. Landlords in Stoke all had to put up with crap at sometimes, always seemed to be something going on.

Can you remember The Elite snooker club that was upstairs to the left of The Wheatsheaf. Chaos in there when the pubs used to shut in the afternoon😬

I played snooker in there when downstairs was Burtons, never used it when you could drink up there.

That was a strange one that over most Burtons shops there were snooker halls, always wondered why🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

There was one above Longton Burtons as well I think🤔

I remember it being a pool hall and playing pool in the one in Longton and Ramones being on the Jukebox. Not sure if it was a snooker hall before.

I was drinking in Charlies about a week after Wetherspoons took over the Wheatsheaf and Dave said to me and my mate who were the only ones in there "fuck it let's get round there and I'll buy you a drink, it'll save on the heating"😌

Wetherspoons killed Stoke. A lot of pubs died when Wetherspoons opened.
