Who knew we’d accidentally start TV Top Trumps this World Cup…

One Facebook post and suddenly everyone’s Googling “what’s the biggest TV I can buy without needing planning permission?”

Trendsetters as normal.

Let’s be clear:

We’re not thrilled about opening on our day of rest.
We’re not discounting the beer.
We’re not measuring the TV again.

And we’re definitely not serving half-time food.

If your response to a 9pm kick-off is “What are you putting on at 10pm?”, then the football isn’t your biggest problem. Quite frankly, there isn’t enough Gaviscon in the North West.

Anyway, World Cup football is back.

England have already won it.

The next three weeks are merely an administrative process.

Tomorrow:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England vs Croatia 🇭🇷
🍻 Bar Open From 6pm
⚽ Kick Off 9pm

Everyone into the bar tomorrow. Lee Lillis said so.

All jokes aside, wherever you choose to watch the World Cup, enjoy it, have a great time with your mates, and if you can, support your local hospitality venues this summer ❤️

FRANKIE'S FOODIE FRIDAY 😍

Feels like an age since we last had Foodie Friday but we're back this week... and so is Frankie of Dumpling Lam.

Which means your chances of leaving the bar without buying dumplings have fallen dramatically.

Everyone’s favourite dumpling dealer returns this Friday with a menu packed full of handmade goodness, freshly cooked to order.

🥟 Signature Siu Mai
🥟 Crispy Prawn Wontons
🌶️ Sichuan Spicy Wontons
🥟 Classic Gyoza
🌶️ Gangnam Style Dumplings
🥟 Peking Delight Dumplings
🌱 Veggie Dumplings
🍜 Dan Dan Noodles
🍜 Shanghai Soy Noodles
🥢 And a few other reasons not to cook at home.

If you’ve had Frankie before, you’ll already know.

If you haven’t, prepare to discover why half the club suddenly develops an interest in arriving very early on a Friday night.

Food served from 5pm until sold out.

No bookings.
No reservations.
No mercy for diets.

📍 Millers Bar, Church Lane
🍺 Bar open as usual
🥟 Frankie back where he belongs

See you Friday. 😋🔥

WE DON’T NORMALLY DO THIS...

We’re not usually open on Wednesdays.

But England are playing.

And it felt a bit unfair to make everyone watch it on their phones, so we’re opening the bar.

🏴 England vs Costa Rica 🇨🇷
🍻 Bar open from 6pm
⚽ Kick Off 9pm

So for one night only*, the lights are back on and we've reluctantly accepted that some things are bigger than our usual opening hours.

We’ll see you tonight.

*This is a complete lie. We’ll be doing it all again next Wednesday when the World Cup kicks off properly.

🚨 FRIDGE UPDATE 🚨

“Judge not a man by the fridge he leaves behind, but by whether he comes back for it.”

~ Socrates, 450 BC

We’re delighted to report that the mystery drinks fridge has now been successfully reunited with its rightful owner.

Particular thanks to the local Facebook detective agency, whose work rate, attention to detail and complete disregard for minding their own business once again proved invaluable.

In fact, they managed to identify Prime Suspect Number 1 approximately four minutes after the original post went live, which is frankly a level of efficiency most police forces can only dream of.

To reiterate a comment from a completely unrelated post earlier this week…

“Jordan is top man.”

And as such, the fridge has now left the building.

Jordan also left with a broken television, which wasn’t part of the original investigation but felt like the right thing to do.

Please remember that whilst we are many things at New Mills FC, a household appliance storage facility is not currently one of them.

What a way to cap off a random week of Millers Bar Social Media Madness.

🚨 FOUND: One abandoned drinks fridge 🚨

Sometime today (in broad daylight… not even overnight), someone decided New Mills FC was apparently the region's newest household recycling centre and dumped this at our ground.

The slight flaw in their otherwise flawless plan is that we have CCTV and therefore the vehicle registration details.

So here’s the deal.

You have 24 hours to come back and collect it.

After that, we’ll assume you’ve donated it to the club and we’ll start exploring every available option.

We are a community football club run by volunteers, not a fly-tipping service.

If anyone recognises it, feel free to point them in our direction. Comments very much enabled for this one 😅

And before anyone asks… no, it isn’t the mystery Foodie Friday vendor.

It’s Bring Your Own Tea tonight, but please leave your fridge at home.

Cheers.

🚨 NEW MILLS IMAX ARENA NOW OPEN 🚨

What do you do when your ambitions outgrow this humble little town?

You, naturally, take your local football club bar into orbit.

We were looking at sensible TV upgrades.

Then somebody asked:

“What’s the biggest one they do?”

Fast forward 48 hours and we’ve accidentally created the Millers Bar IMAX Experience™.

Featuring an 85” screen so unnecessarily large that astronauts aboard the International Space Station should be able to keep up with the World Cup results.

We were going to include a photo, but the upload apparently crashed three Facebook servers.

You’ll just have to come and see it for yourself.

⚽️ England vs New Zealand
⏰ Saturday, 9pm

85 inches...

(Or roughly 14 and a bit Subway sandwiches, for those more accustomed to measuring smaller things.)

Please don’t shout at the screen too loudly. It probably will fall off the wall.

🌍⚽ FOR £75 YOU CAN BUY A COUNTRY. ⚽🌍

Well…

Not the actual country. Apparently there are laws about that.

For £75 you can pick a World Cup nation in New Mills FC latest fundraising competition and give yourself the chance of winning:

👕 A YEAR OF FIRST TEAM TRACKSUIT SPONSORSHIP

That’s your name, business or brand on the First Team tracksuit for the 2026/27 season.

No football knowledge required.

No tactical masterclass required.

No need to know the difference between a false nine and a 99 Flake.

Just pick a country and see what happens.

🌍 7 nations gone within the first hour.

Whether that’s because people think it’ll secure them dual citizenship, or they’re planning to annex Glossop, remains unclear.

First come, first served.

Get involved before you’re left desperately convincing everyone you’ve always been a massive fan of Haiti.

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚨

I’ve just woken up in the back of a van with L&L Building Service scrawled across the side... I have no recollection of the last 14 hours.

What I do know is that I found this monstrosity framed and ready to be hung above the bar.

The rest started to make sense

Following what can only be described as a hostile takeover of our social media channels, Millers Bar can confirm it has now been liberated.

The rebrand to “Lillis’ Bar” has been reversed.

The logo has been restored.

The postage stamps have been removed from circulation.

The Ministry of Propaganda has been dissolved.

We are currently working with our international partners to rebuild democracy at Church Lane. (We're definitely not)

Thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented times.
