Where...

[Fleet Loyal]

Where do you drink (not on match days) eh?

 

Depends what the occasion is really. I find that I’ll use a certain pub for a couple of months then move on to somewhere else. Probably drunk in most pubs locally at one time or another. Just wondered what pubs the rest of you use.

I drink at the Foundry on Old Street when out after work. When at home somewhere in Rochester or Maidstone. Usually either the Bull, Golden Lion or Ashes.

Matchdays in the bar before Trust duties call. Away games - usually in the other team's bar or nearby pub.

The Rose on matchdays (I know that wasn't the question) - no, not the one on Perry Street. Or Andy Fordham's one. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That'll be my local you're on about then, JC. Cracking little pub and I'm going out with the landlady's daughter!! Life can't get better, can it?

matchday: the plough and contrary to popular belief king carlos has never held any meetings about protests there (on a matchday that is)

 

Weekends either the Buffalos head (Best pub in gravesend)

or if i want to drink till the early hours go to the tap n tin.

[Jimmy]

Surely it's time for another meeting to be held in there.

Pre match - Dependant who with, but 1 of Wheatsheaf , Man of Kent, Plough or the Fleet social. On occassions all 4.

 

Non football days - as work in SE1 and live in SW1 , theres many pub that gets frequented. But local is the Barley Mow and the Royal Oak in Westminster, I am in either most Sunday lunch times, pop in if you are passing...

Watched quite a few matches from the 2002 World Cup in the Man of Kent. Decent pub for watching football - haven't been in there for a while mind. Managed to pull a good little scam to get signed off sick from work for the entire month of June in order to watch the matches (which were morning kick-offs) - only to be pictured in a local paper after the England versus Argentina match holding a pint glass outside the Man of Kent!

 

Usually meet in one of the pubs in the town centre (Call Boy, Grapes, Wetherspoons etc) before Fleet matches then onto Plough.

I though Call Boy was a gay bar?

[Fleet Loyal]

How do you know eh?

 

Anyway. Think it may have had a few mandingo's in there years ago but I've never seen any funny business when I've been in there.

Quite like Shepherd Neame pubs. Went on a tour of the brewery in Faversham a few years ago and got nutted on Hurlimann’s after.

Wasn't that always a bit of an urban myth based on its name?
