in the days of roker park, where was your favorite pre match drinking hole? obviously many of you probably went to the derby being next to the ground, mine was the cliff as i live round the corner to it, but those of you who had to trvel further where did you end up, im guessing many who came by train will say the blue bell, do you miss the march down fulwell road. sorry if the younger member find this boring,
I go to both, often. The Derby is my local, but The Cliff is pretty good too. Like The Grange at the top of Newcastle Rd as well.
As I was travelling from the other side of the river back then, me and my mate would usually pop into The Fort before a game. I went in a couple of seasons ago for old times sake and it wasn't up to much, times change I suppose.
canny walk from the grange to roker park though, you must have left early and been sober by the time you got there
