Aye mate.

Blue Bell dead, Royal Marine empty, New Derby was like the moon.

Sad marra.

Good to see this place back open again. Still busy doing it out inside but they seem to slowly be getting it together. Used to be my regular before games for about 5 or 6 seasons before it closed, bit rough but always a laugh. Hopefully gets enough business on match days to keep it open. Don't really know why but always been fond of the place.

Too late, I've transferred my loyalties to The Albion.

I don't even know why I like the place so much. Haven't really settled anywhere else since it closed.

The Blue Bell is abysmal these days especially on a Sunday, full of boring wankers

The Lighthouse pub is much better.

 

[Beau Peep]

Isn't Roker Avenue the southern boundary with Monkwearmouth and thus the Fort is in Monkwearmouth?

 

[Boris Bear]

You have to wipe your feet on the way out

The Lighthouse pub is much better.

It really isn't like. Lighthouse isn't even better than The Grange and that's saying something.

I bet they were reet Biffa birds, more rough than Desperate Dans chin.

Which one’s that?

The new micropub in Sea Road.

Shame, i had a few in there before the game and it wasnt much better. They're trying hard but unless it fills up on match days it will never survive.

Ah but it’s only £2.50 a pint. It is like standing in someone’s front room though.

It's more like having a pint in a cafe.

Going to the bogs is like being in someones house though.

And the stairs are dangerous

I'm not sure who has it. Two young lads behind the bar. One had an eastern european accent but could just be students working a job part time.
