overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 56 readable matches for The Old Royal Oak, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.

Best Boards.ie memory leads

The Old Royal Oak has 56 readable Boards.ie memory signals around old memories, stories and gossip, regulars and characters, atmosphere and rituals and customs. The strongest current lead points into "9/11 Ten years on....."; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories.
