So where do you drink on matchdays?

[Captain Haddock]

Sorry if (when!) done before but I'm just curious and can't find a recent thread.

....and will you change pubs after we get "The Seagull's Nest" nr Falmer?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

NOT the sportsman thats for sure!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Seconded. Hardly anybody drinks there. Most people just queue there.

Selhurst Arms

Not The Albion then?

 

[Captain Haddock]

Usually the Brewery Tap, with a starter at The Evening Star if there's time before that.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Sportsman usually, but might have to nip into Brewery Tap to see the MOST IMPORTANT game tomorrow, kicking off at 12.45.

I use the sportsman purely for convenience. That way I can read my programme with a nice cold beer

Good pub actually, does it have Sky?

It certainly used to, but I've got a funny feeling that since the latest manager took over it might have gone. It wasn't on last time I was in there

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

Yes.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Yes.

Superb, cheers - might head there tomorrow instead. Dark Star

What a good question.
It USED to be the Long Man, until they started charging over £3.50 a pint.

Now we all meet up at the Neville in Hove, and leave a few minutes earlier to park in our usual spot. Two big plasmas, pool tables, arrows, food, a garden, kiddy-friendly AND beer at normal prices.

Perfick.

I wouldn't know. Only started going there in the last 2-3 weeks for the pre-match ritual. Very impressed so far though, everything you need from a pre-match watering hole. Another bonus is that its not RAMMED with plastics, at least it wasn't for the Arsenal v Liverpool game the other week.

All very civilised.

Ahhh, my perfect Albion Saturday:

10am - 9 holes at Benfield
12pm - pool and beer at The Stadium
3pm - three points at the Goldstone
5pm - a few more jars at Hove Park Tavern
7pm - win a few quid on the dogs at Corals
11pm - kebab at Eddies
12pm - fall asleep in the armchair in front of a recording of match of the day

HAPPY days. That was just absolute heaven.

Good bunch of lads drink there, as I do sometimes.

Back in the day there would be 50-100 and more for some away games. Debbie the Landlady ran the Albion in Hove for several yrs.
