Pints before a game at Filbert Street…

[Feckit]

I always remember 5 minutes to 3 (often a bit later) in The Turnstile on Saturdays in the late 70s, 80s & 90s knocking back a pint of Bass (might have been a Black Label on the odd occasion) after a game of crash and then fighting our way past the miserable Geordie bloke on the gate in the supporters club end…
Them were the bloody days my friends..

Saracens Head and the Globe on to the Swan Rushes or maybe the Shakespeares. Afterwards finish up at the George or Gypo Queen in Blaby.

Totally agree, had a few different pints of beer in there over the years, Worthington E & I’m sure they had a Stones Bitter at one time years ago…

[DagenhamFox]

The Peel was my first pre match pub. Then moved to the Victory.

Then I used to go around town a bit.The Wyvern, Globe, Saracens Head, Yates, and have one or two on the way Nags Head & Star & Bricklayers, Swan & Rushes.

 

[Ketterfox]

Dover Castle anyone?

 

[SK24U]

Brickies. Swan and Rushes.

 

[Collibosher]

Way back in the seventies it was The Bedford.

Magazine. Cracking pint of Bass.

 

[DagenhamFox]

A few days after it closed down I walked past and tried the door. Surprisingly it was unlocked and open. There were about a dozen homeless people living in the bar.

No shouts for ‘The Long Stop’??

Nags Head when Drew kept it. Battle around it with a mob of Sheffield Wednesday. Some of our lads suited and booted for a wedding later in the day. Fuckin’ funny!
Mayhem with Millwall in between the Rutland & Derby.
