Roughest pub away from home

Ooooo you’re hard....

No ,I'm not a f***ing sheep

Shouldn't have gone in there with a load of melts in brand new Stone Island gear then should we




Have West Ham got a pub called the Prince of Wales? Reason I ask is me and my brother @Colin Bibby shared a train back to London from the West Mids in the early 2000's with a load of lads from Basildon who'd been to Cov, we'd been at WBA. They invited us to join them in there next time we were at West Ham.

‘Take me home, take me home’

Nipped in The Blackbird in Oxford for a quick slash when we played them recently. Wouldn't say it necessarily rough but the clientelle looked like the kind who would chase you out of town quick enough if they thowt you were an away fan.

A bloke in the bogs was rattling on to me but I just said "sorry mate, can't hear you cos I'm a bit corned beef" in me best southern accent and fucked off as quick as I could.

The Cricketers Arms at Bramall Lane. The Antigallican at charlton comes to mind as well, never unfriendly just minging.

Don't remember the name, but recall a pub near Maine Road where the bouncers had a begging bucket with 'disabled kids fund' scrawled across it. Needless to say we had to chuck a few quid in.

Mind not many pubs I've been in pre match that we're as rough as The Terminus

Happened at a well known pre match pub in Sunderland for me last year. For "disabled war veterans".

Just looked that up, how’s a Celtic boozer so close to Ibrox survive!?

That's what we thought but apparently the area was predominantly catholic.
we would not have gone in had we known but the only Scotch amongst us was locked up.

Chelsea 1974??

Someone’s idea that FW’s bus would stop in Kilburn. Collections gan on, mind we were buying coke & mixing it with the whiskey etc from the shop, so couldn’t complain.

Closing time wasWW3, bottles flying everywhere- sure there was a milk bottling place across the road.

Iirc we left quite a few lads here & there that night

Was in The Navigation New Year’s Day last year for cup match, seemed friendly enough. Did I dodge a bullet?

Not too bad in recent years. When the stadium first opened it was a place to avoid for away supporters.

Good to hear. Hadn’t had a pint of Magnet in years either!

 

[davoak]

One up on a hill right next to boundary park Oldham was like going back in time! Had four pints before it got edgy had to do one when the police come was only 14 Bally scored an equaliser 2-2 draw I think

 

[rey mysterio]

I was once eating my Sunday dinner at the Stackyard and a coach load of Man City fans appeared and they were all complaining that red wine shouldn’t be served chilled and mint sauce belongs only on a lamb dinner

We were in one at QPR that their "lads" apparently drink in after we played there under McCarthy. There were 6 us and a very well known poster from here who is sadly no longer with us was there with his missus, no-one else in.

We'd just wandered in and the Coppers sussed we were Sunderland and set up a cordon of horses and vans as dozens/hundreds of very irate QPR fans started to kick off with them outside, who weren't allowed in. It really started to boil over.
PC Smith (exactly) came in saying "you don't know what problems you're causing me" bearing in mind there was 6 of us, well 8 SAFC all-together waving and holding our pints up to the QPR fans.
The silly sods gave us a Police Escort to the next boozer, as QPR were still battling with their colleagues. We felt like Royalty.

HAD, I think it shut, like quite a few pubs when we moved

The strawberry !! Foolishly went in with my mate on the night of our 1990 play off win ( gates and gabbiadini) after an afternoon on the drink. I went to get my safc scarf out but my mate made sure that didnt happen, and I lived to tell the tale. Not really sure if it is the roughest pub but its certainly a shit hole.

Had a few in there after the game this season

 

[JonnotheMackem]

A pub called The Bird In Hand in a town called Fareham near Portsmouth when we played them in the FA Cup (2010ish)

Fuck me not a single soul with two eyeballs in the place. Everyone in shorts with the Portsmouth badge on their each calf.

That’s an absolute hole that place.

Celtic away in a pre season friendly not long after SBR passed away , we went in a bar on London Rd. the natives were quite unhappy to have their pub taken over , but god it was rough , a shrine to the IRA as you’d expect.

Walking past after the match , it was like the land of the living dead , not a chance in hell of getting out alive if you’d been daft enough to stop for a post match pint.

Peacock at Leeds ...

... lucky to get out unscathed tbh.

Drank in there before the 0-3 game under Reid mid 90's, (Sharpe and Deane scored for Leeds not sure about other one). Was a canny few of ours in, no bother and didn't notice any edge, must not have been looking for it.

Prior season, Stoke away mid week when we lost 1-0, one of the Wallace bros scored. With a mate, walked into 2 pubs close to ground and just turned straight round as didn't like the look, got followed out the 2nd and thankfully bumped into some police on way to Victoria ground.

Worst one ever drank in was somewhere in South Bermondsey early 90's. Was the season before they moved to new Den. Was living in Camberwell, went with my brother, thought we'd be ok as got on train at Denmark Hill rather than coming from London Bridge, absolute unit clocked us and starting chatting to us, insisting we join him for a pint when we get off at South Bermondsey. Took us into a real dive, wasn't really a football pub, just local residents, the old phrase of scene at Cantina in Star Wars sums it up, absolutely bricking it as we were convinced it was a trap so stayed close to the door as we could, bought him a couple of pints and he was good as gold...…. we never did take him up on his offer to meet back there after the game

Hence my question marks after the pubs name...It may not have been the "B/Hook"..can't recall the correct name..but the clientele were definitely from the old Chelsea Headhunters era..

That must have been in Tunbridge Wells because every f***ing Chelsea fan you meet here reckons they were headhunters !!
