Zico Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 General Havelock for me and sometimes Churchills
Mike Hunt Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Churchills late 80's early 90's Then King Bill Happy Days indeed
Underpants Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Tanners Arms and Nightingale in my yooof. Sweet Green Tavern for a couple of seasons. Then settled in my spiritual home of the King Bill.
Guest Uncle_Northy Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Alma Sweet Green and all them down manny road.
Widnes Two Hats Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Bit of a pub crawl for us Start at the Cattle Market, then Haverlock, Nightingale, Little John, back to Cattle then a swifty in either Waggon or Churchills on way down Town if it was a big game
Guest Biff Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Nightingale for me. Top pub allowed away fans in as well.
Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Waggon & Horses for me. There was nothing better than that walk from the pub to Burden listening to the crowd gain its voice from outside, then round the back into the Paddock, standing in a long queue for a cold pie, a quick nip into the toliets to get your feet wet then pushing yourself into a position where your view was least obscurred, then spending the rest of the match swaying and trying to hold that position - which was impossible! Reading that it sounds awful, but why then do I miss that football experience so much? Going to the Reebok gets more mundane by the season....... Is it just the age difference between then and now? If we were still at BP would I feel football had become Mundane just because I am older now and more going on in my life? We are enjoying more success, football is alledgegy more exciting so why???? It doesnt help that the pre-match drink now takes place in a "mega-bowl"
bolton in bedford Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 wagon and horses from 12 - 2ish and then a quick couple in the king bill. could never work out why people would queue at the bar near the door in the wagon and wait for ages to be served when if you went to end of the bar near the bogs you usually got served straight away.
