That was a gay pub wasn’t it?
No one mentioned the Spittlemoor. Remember going in there on a Tuesday or Wednesday night after a youth game and rolling out at 4 in the morning.
They all seemed quite happy on the occasion I went in.That was a gay pub wasn’t it?

Which one ?Reminds me of a Frank Zappa song

May have been at 1 point. It was a sort of craft ale place as well at one point years before that sort of thing became popular.
Closed down due to all the drug raids I believe!

A good pub for a fight before the game (with just our own fans) was the Silver Sword
'The Bear Inn' - What did that become that I may be familiar with?Spittlemoor was run at one time by same gaffer as the Broomfield Tavern which was my local , used the Spittlemoor few times before and after the game when he ran it , West Ham fans parked there coach opposite one game they headed back and come in the Spittlemoor for a beer after , Long story shorted got mistaken for Hammers fan some Cov fan clobbered me with one of his crutches oh did i laugh
Used to go to the Bear Inn High Street and the Peacock late 70s before a game.
Spencer club was another then a taxi ordered at 2.30pm, then finally the penny dropped just used to get in Strikers for 12.30 until 14.57pm
Barclays Bank'The Bear Inn' - What did that become that I may be familiar with?

Mid 70’s used to meet in the Market Tavern, always plenty of the West End to walk up with.

“If you wanna see the good side of a City”That's a cracker of an estate pub. Forgot about that
Remember being in there in late 89,We’d played Arsenal and a big mob of City in there watching the 1990 World Cup draw.Occasionally went in the Vauxhall Tavern on match days late 1980's. Gaffer then was former boxer Tony Riley. It's safe to say for someone who you thought would instil an air of authority, a tight ship it was not.
The smoky atmosphere was anything but Ogdens Nut Gone Flake.

I remember the Swanswell Tavern but never being brave enough to go in it!!
Don't want to judge a book by it's cover but bloody hell....you'd have to pay me some serious danger money to go into a place that looks as uninviting as that.Closed down due to all the drug raids I believe!

Same here - Very occasionally I'd meet up with the lads. Not sure why they started going there, never used to be on the list.Forgot about the Swanswell. Went in once or twice.
