Bit out of step with the times changing the name from The Shepherd and Shepherdess to the Old Shepherd. That's brewery's for you

My locals were the Albany and the Cottage in Earlsdon. Albany never recovered its former glory, the Cottage destroyed
especially closing the garden

The Albany!!!
Played a few games of pool upstairs in that place, but jeez that was a few years ago probably back in the 80s!
Also used the Port of Call, interesting pub especially when the fair came to town.

If anyone drinks in and around Keresley before a game I can recommend the coronation club , used to love the convoy back in the day

I think I probably did - Peter hill used to go in before games

Who remembers when they sold the steaks there possibly the first pub steak house in Cov, Bernie Inns. Had to queue for ages but worth the wait…Delicious.

Late 70s when I was 16 used to meet up The Climax before the game then moved on in the 80s to the Godiva ( Dive )

Remember WBA ans coming into the Climax and being chased out by a load of greasy bikers who never cared for football,
Oh those were the days.

Also used the Port of Call, interesting pub especially when the fair came to town.

Before pubs opened all day the Port was allowed to open all day one day a year, the Wednesday of Whitsun week due to some by law to do with the fair. It was known as 'Gyppo day'.

Was always fun and games that day.

Our merry gang used the Rose and Crown on Walsgrave Rd for many years circa 1989- 2003 before walking up to HR through Ball Hill .

Gland in Hand Fargo - now anecdote

 

[LastGarrison]

Our merry gang used the Rose and Crown on Walsgrave Rd for many years circa 1989- 2003 before walking up to HR through Ball Hill .

Rose and Crown was our main one as well unless we decided to go into town and then it was either the Beer Engine, Gosford or the Hand and Heart.

Randomly, went through a stage of using the Hare and Squirrel for a while as well as it was cheap as chips and had a jukebox.

What was the pub (before they built Sky Blue Way) on the left out of City oppostite Gosford Green, just before King Richard Street? Often mobbed by away fans on matchday. Binley Oak always seemed to attract away fans too

Mercers Arms, just over from HR, if we worked Saturday am, used to meet the lads from the Jag there before and after games. In the spring after games, always dropped into Brandon on the way home to Rugby.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yates then Far Gosford St then Brewer on a typical day

Wheatsheaf

It's fair to say it was much better at HR

Me and my friends would do the same, walk to pool meadow to get the bus to Brandon, made a long day and night of it.

Loads of beer.

 

[fernandopartridge]

After the match similar in reverse Gosford Arms, Hertford, Hand & Heart, Beer Engine, Gringo's, sometimes the Dive, Yates, Lloyds Courtyard, Bar Coast, Black Eagle and then Scholars

 

[Theonlywayisskyblue]

The White Lion

Me and my Uni mates loved that pub with its beer-stained pool table. We were there in 84-85 just before it closed for good and then finished the evening with a burger from Kev at Porky Pig on Far Gosford Street. Anybody else remember this place ? Best burgers for miles

 

[Mcbean]

when we moved to the East stand suntrap - it was the Dead Horse and Barras chippy on the way in
