Chester-le-Street
- Thread starter The Breen Machine
- Start date
cricket club and football club should ground share - football would get bigger crowds in the middle of town

Bloody Ferryhillbilly!
I do like it mind, yet to try the Market Tavern but doesn't look too bad. Tend to stay up the top end and finish up in the Butchers.
Think we're barred from the butchers after a bit of an altercation there last Saturday night saying they wouldn't serve me mate cos he was staggering all owa yet he hadn't had a drink and had a dodgy leg.

Saturday gone or Saturday before? We were in Saturday gone and my missus had a slight altercation with the barmaid when she went to quickly go outside to see my mother but tried to take her glass with her, hope we are still allowed in as I can't remember leaving

Was after the walsall game whenever that was. They were adamant he was steaming like but I just don't think they wanted a big group of lads in.

Where's that? - the WMC?
I think the Butchers is a cracking little boozer.
Tbh, it doesn't seem the place, more like a local pub for local people

Butcher's has always been nice, clean and comfortable when I've been in, have spent many a Sunday afternoon in the summer getting half-cut and chainsmoking in the beer garden. Can't get away with the Black Horse, I don't mind the Crown but my lass does.

We used to have the occasional Saturday night out in Chester but only went in one pub. I think it was called the garden farm, the market farm, or a name like that.
Reading this thread I was wondering if it's still in business and still has the dance floor. I can't even remember exactly where it was in CLS, but it wasn't in the main Street.
