Is there a precedent? I don't think Dave M or Cider Drinker have actually voted. I think whichever comes out top the second place warrants an automatic choice for next year.

Is there a precedent? I don't think Dave M or Cider Drinker have actually voted. I think whichever comes out top the second place warrants an automatic choice for next year.
I've been getting quite excited about this as I had assumed Newark had clinched it. In the event of a draw is it a vote off between the two places?
At last a realistic suggestion! I was only trying to apply rules that I thought applied from previous polls. I agree with SH that the good towns around Telford Central have already been done....
Exactly and a year or two earlier Wellington and other Telford towns.
So on that basis it'll be OK for me to suggest Newcastle Under Lyme for the next North & South outings?
Two of these should not be there, Wellington etc has already been done and Cambridge was in a South poll. It doesn't matter where it is, it's been classified as South.
Telford Central has a second rate Spoons and that's it. you're right, Wellington to Wolverhampton has been done.
I think Stafford is a good option. The new BOD could probably be included as the bus...
You're the only one making this claim and I'm not entirely sure if it's just a wind up. The fact it was in a South poll must exclude it otherwise all sense of fair play goes out the window.
I think Cambridge should be dropped simply because it appeared on the last South poll. Bridgnorth has been deemed (probably correctly) as being too remote for a day out and Ludlow seems to have too...
Fair point. I remember the poll max being extended some time ago but don't remember the details.
I used to know someone from Banbury and he always described it as the Midlands. Despite being in Oxfordshire the Northants border is on the Eastern edge of the town and the Warwickshire border is...
I know it's not Bristol, it could be Edinburgh as the train travels quite a distance West along the Firth to get there.
I'd go with the maximum then nobody can feel hard done by. The least attractive options will fall away. If there's a tie for the top slot then a vote off will be needed.
I met a friend in Stourbridge who attempted to drink a coffee on the "bone shaker". Black Country Ales are opening a second pub which is near the Junction. Personally I think Stourbridge has enough...
I've been away while these discussions have been going on but has the omission of Loughborough from this list been justified?
Only Ludlow and Kenilworth do not have JDWs but I've been to Ludlow twice. I couldn't even tell you exactly where Kenilworth is!
It gets Anglia television but I've always thought of it as South due to the train links to London and the fact that the Essex and Herts borders are not very far away,
I don't think it has enough options. I went there to visit the Spoons and also visited the original home of Wye Valley Brewery and a micropub. I didn't feel I was missing out on much. Midlands or...
I think Shrewsbury has been mentioned before and I think it has enough to make it a viable option. Iy also gas a Premier Inn near the Rail Station and overlooking the Bus Station. There are other...
I don't think Ludlow has enough options. I'm happy to go there and stick to the Ludlow Tap. Shrewsbury probably has enough but some good outlying options and some steep hills.
IMO Warwick and Leamington are not that great. Is Kenilworth near Rugby? I've never been there.
Louth like other Lincolnshire towns is a nightmare to get to. I think I got a bus from Grimsby.
Thanks!
I had to go back to my reviews as it was over 4 years ago that I went there. I was charged £4.20 for Old Growler in the Wig & Pen and £4.25 for Nene Valley Big Bang in the Lamplighter. To me that's...
My overriding impression of Northampton was that ir was very expensive. Do Kettering and Grantham have enough of interest?
