Where do you drink pre match?

[Ian S]

Tend to drink post match rather than pre match to enjoy a few points after yet another home win.

Castle and Blue Boar for me, with the Kings on occasions.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

The Western, as a few have said.

 

I might upgrade from alcohol to crack though to make the games easier to deal with 🤣 

[SemperEadem]

Crap that both the Western and the Salmon have been lessened as pubs in recent years.

[Livid]

The Voco for midweek games, never that busy, decent burger (if a little pricey) but they need more staff at times.

 

Don't usually bother at the weekend.

Local Hero for me but that’s because I park there. Can’t remember the last time I bought a drink in there but it cost me about £6.75 which I still haven’t got over. I just go and meet my mates and sit outside now, then go as late as possible to the ground.

I read the title as What not Where.

 

So to answer what if I went to a game now. Probably 1ltr of JD.

Used to religiously drink in the Salmon then work our way into town. Not been in the Salmon for a good two year or so, think it kind of died when they ripped the old bar out and replaced it with the new one(personal opinion). 

 

Now the Highcross, Oneills, duffys every now and then. Recently been going to 72 bar - very good. 

We use Bar 72. Beer is sketchy as though.

 

Cheap however.

4 for £20 if you go for the homebrew.

 

All of their brands of beer taste the same except for the Brooklyn, which tastes like no other pint of Brooklyn I have had before. Unique.

[CornwallFox]

Never did. 

Afternoon drinking makes me sleepy and don't fancy needing a pee every ten minutes if I've mullered several pints. 

Did it once and hated it.

Until the end of the season, The Last Chance Saloon

[moore_94]

We don’t often go for a drink before games anymore but if we do it is The Crows Nest on Glenfield Road

 

Now we usually either go straight to the match or somewhere like Efes Mangal for a meal

 

Gone from 5 season ticket holders going to every game to 1 still going most games, 2 of us probably every other game, and 2 not really at all

World class.

 

Me and my old boy ended up there every home game for a year or two and it actually put me off going in the end. The food is obscene but it's not conducive with then going a football game for a couple of hours.

We tend to go when there is 2 or 3 of us and get one of those share platter things

 

Very common to comment after that I would rather just go sleep in my car with a food coma rather than go watch the football  even just the bread is unreal

Yeah we used to have that between the two of us 😂

[Spudulike]

Other.... never go to a pub pre-match. Something that I've never done. My Dad never did either and my son's not bothered.

Don’t get a delivery from there though. Even you would consider it the pits. Class eating in mind. 
 

The 72 is good for its convenience. I think unless you’re going to a spoons pre game, you’re gonna be paying upwards of £4.50 for a pint wherever you go.

Myself into oblivion normally

New Road Inn

[LichesterRedSoxSoccerBall]

Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium - pretending my city doesnt have a football team. 

[niyaminski]

Went Wygston’s House the other week. 
 

Decent prices- I think it was £9 for a stein of pretty much any lager.

[fazzyfox]

I don’t want to let on how good my choice of pub is otherwise everyone would go to The Kings Head and it will be even more packed. Doh!

[An Away Move]

Saw an article recently about how football clubs are killing pubs with Fan Zones. I never thought about that but now can’t ignore it.
