It's been a while since I've been to a home game (work, family, location - excuses, excuses) Season ticket this year! Must be mad.

Anyway, me and three/four pals from Liverpool are coming down (they've adopted City as their second team) Where are the best places to drink these days? We are arriving at about 12 and I was going to stay in town? Any ideas?

PS - If you hear Scouse accents - they're friendly! They did get some looks at Wembley!

Not sure if the Philip Larkin (was the Tudor Rose) has improved.

My guess is with a name change to the Philip Larkin, the clientele has changed too!!

The Brittania Hotel near the swimming pool. It's incredible. I think CAMRA will do a feature soon.

Might as well get a taxi from station up nearer the ground, town pubs will be dead.

Cherry tree club (Lythalls Lane) isn't a bad shout, full of City fans and only a 7 or 8 minute walk to the ground.

Bloody hell. I stayed there a few years back. Worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

Thanks for the suggestions! Cherry Tree might be the one. Is the Coach and Horses still there?

Yeah. Coach and Horses. Wheatsheaf is OK too. I would personally stay in town if you want anything decent to drink.

If you're coming down by train might as well get a train to the Ricoh and go to the casino or Cherry Tree.

It's terrible. I went once and it was £2 for a pint of San Miguel. There's always a reason. It's full of tramps, prostitutes and benefit dead wood.

I fitted in nicely

The barman actually said to me that he'd keep selling to me at happy hour prices if I wanted to stay for a bit. I'd taken some poor Korean visitors their. They enjoyed it to be fair.

Anyway if the op wants a decent pint go to the Hare and Hounds (?) in Kerseley leave at 2.30 park in the pub by the railway station and walk up.

Small world! No mate. On the train back from Wembley there were a few Liverpool based City fans though.

He was one of a few Cov fans I knew who were Liverpool based. Are you planning on many away games this season?

What about the Dossers disco across the road,Good old Reflections!!
Click to expand...
I was frequently in Reflections. Guaranteed to get in whatever you was wearing. So if you was on an all dayer you didn't have to waste time going home to get ready. Quite frequently free entertainment as well :smuggrin:

And the bonus was just over the road from the Parsons Nose. Then back past Fleckys for a taxi to a sesh.

Depends what you want but town won't be exactly rock and roll at that time of day.

Quick amble down to the Litten Tree for one, then one in the Squirrel, walk round to the Castle and then Weatherspoons (Lloyds), possibly the Golden Cross for one, then show your Scouse mates the real Cov by taking them to the other Weatherspoon's, then the Cov Cross, Club Release and The Tudor Rose (or whatever they are all called now).

Alternatively, The Cosy Club, Ivy House, Drapers and then The Phoenix is a little more sedate.
