Strawberry currently has a pint called 5-1, sad buggers. I didn't try it.
Did once put 'Come On You Reds' on their jukebox day after Manure had hammered them. Quite hard to keep a straight face while it was on. I think they got rid of their 40 Football Classics CD after that. :lol:
It's not a bad pub though altogether.
 
never been in - but my then girlfriend in May 1990 was once. She was waiting to pick me up in my car after the game and nipped in to ask if they knew when the Sunderland fans would be getting out. :eek::eek::eek:
 
went in there once on a date when i was 18
we wanted to put the jukebox on but some old man was leaning on it
we didnt dare approach him
we waited til he finished his pint and walked to the bar
we headed to the jukebox made it halfway and he span around made a noise like a seal getting fingerred and returned to his original position
we left

:lol:
 
on a sunny day, that building will blind anyone walking near there
 
why do architects do this, if you are one? :lol:

sponsored by a sunglasses manufacturer?

Quote from the design and access statement that was submitted to NCC.

The reflective nature of the stainless steel combined with the highly reflective nature of the glass will provide subtle variation. The use of texture and colour within the stainless steel cladding will generate a dynamic and animated facade that will respond to shifting viewpoints and changing environmental conditions.

Bollocks, it's because it's cheap, easy to clean and the colour won't fade.
 
You think that's bad.

Going up opposite Sid James Park now:

Logon or register to see this image

from the architects:

"carefully angled towards a specific angle slightly east of South - the highly reflective nature of the cladding of this building is designed to enable reflective glory from the Stadium of Light to fall upon Sportsdirect.com@StJamesParkStadium"
