Nightingale for me. Top pub allowed away fans in as well.

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" ](*,)

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.
