Not been in personally but I've heard rave rave reviews about the Albion. It's what you'd call in Warringtons Sh*t town but i'm pretty sure it won Cheshire's pub of the year, brewing it's own ales I believe.
As for the new Crusaders, completely different setup to the old club and no offence to the old guard, a thousand percent better run and from what I've seen from my visit down there (further than most people think from warrington), will make a sucess of things.
I feel sorry for you lot travelling down because despite everyone talking about Wigan, I know I'm biased but we're a better team, we'll make mince meat of you and it's harsh but oh well, I hope you guys have a top day out despite the result. Hopefully see a few of you in Wethers!
