Matchday pub of choice?

[dav3j]

So, where does everyone like to go on match days for a bit of pre-emptive drowning of sorrows? Any other places you normally go to on the day?

Whenever I can make it down to a game, I head down to the Bell and Hare, especially to the beer "garden" round the back if it's sunny. Awesome as the staff are, though, sometimes the atmosphere is a bit lacking, and the bogs are pretty grim. I've heard good things about the Bricklayers, any good?

Also like get a bite to eat at La Barca further down the High Road, do nice cheap brekkies and the waitresses are pretty sound.

Bricklayers after a win. Two Brewers before a game normally.

Going Sunday and not drinking for the first time in ages.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Irish. Before and After.

 

[IanWrightsUglyWife]

Beehive then bell n hare on the way to the match, after the match can be anywhere really, depends which station im going home from.

Interesting, isn't the Irish pub a favourite with away supporters too?

 

[wearetheparklane]

Bricklayers for me. Served me at 16 and haven't gone anywhere since!

Depends on who the opposition is, but yeah there are a few away fans in there normally. The reason I like it is you get a glass rather than a plastic fucking cup to drink your beer out of!

When i can get over it's the Brickies for me

Coach and Horses these days.

My days of visiting the Lane have passed, happy memories, nowadays it's down the Old Ash Tree in Gillingham, Kent where I have plenty of Gooners to wind up.

It great to let them know we have to win something before they can do it (the Premier League is merely Division 1 to us older chaps), fun to watch them bite.

Ha, that's not too far up the road from my part of the world! Quite a lot of them end up in The Star as well, don't they? Saw the Villa game on Boxing Day last season at The Cricketers in Rainham, pretty decent showing of Yids there.

It has to be the Bell and Hare, particularly at the start of the season when you get to say what architectural masterpiece they've installed over the Summer. Is it a gazebo? Is it a slightly strange paved bit with a roof? Is it an entirely ill advised fishtank in the back room? Or maybe a Congolese barbeque?

Genuinely though I like it because there's a decent outside space, more than one place to buy beer and every now and again you get the fun of watching a car try and get up the increasingly wobbly 'ramp'.

And naturally there is a game of keepy uppy where someone from SC kicks the ball over.

Or the variation where Flatters kicks it on the roof and Stoof follows that up by heading it over. What a plank.

 

[dav3j]

So basically, if I want to find any SCers in the B&H next time, I just look for the clods with two left feet re-enacting the John Smith's ad?

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Gilpin for some cheap food and booze before the game, Bricklayers after the game, then down to the Caribbean takeaway place for some jerk chicken and veg when I'm steaming drunk.

 

[dawson 5]

Irish Centre for me

Flatters still got more of a "wanker" chant. It was a great clearing header. Where there was no danger, nor even a football match.

Maybe you should teach Bassong how to do this? :wink:

B&H for me when i get a chance to get down.... not been in ages though now
